Integrating biodiversity indices into a multi-species optimal control model
Bertram, Christine - 2010
Biodiversity is often adversely affected by human activities. This reduces social welfare but may be external to … private economic decisions. Consequently, these external effects on biodiversity need to be considered explicitly in economic … models, which is only partly reflected in the literature. So far, biodiversity is mostly treated only implicitly in multiple …

Integrating biodiversity indices into a multi-species optimal control model
Bertram, Christine - Institut für Weltwirtschaft (IfW) - 2010
Processes of regional economic integration have been shaping the economic relations between countries significantly during the last decades. In addition, an increasing integration of the national economies into the global economy has affected these economic relations, too. In an effort to...

Spatial dynamics of green corridors
Boulanger, Vincent; Bruchiamacchie, Max; Chauchard, Sandrine - Département Sciences Sociales, Agriculture et … - 2013
Forest management aims at building ecological networks that minimize the impacts on timber production. We formalize the construction of ecological networks in forest environments as the optimal control dynamic graph-theoretic problem. The ecological network is based on a set of bioreserves and...

On natural resource substitution
André, Francisco J.; Cerdá, Emilio - Centro de Estudios Andaluces, Government of Andalusia - 2004
We present a simple dynamic model to get some key insights about the substitution of renewable for nonrenewable resources in production and the consequences for sustainability. We highlight the role of the elasticity of substitution (technological component) to determine the adjustment of every...

Safe Minimum Standards in Dynamic Resource Problems—Conditions for Living on the Edge of Risk
Margolis, Michael; Naevdal, Eric - 2004
Abstract Safe Minimum Standards (SMSs) have been advocated as a policy rule for environmental problems where uncertainty about risks and consequences are thought to be profound. This paper explores the rationale for such a policy within a dynamic framework and derives conditions for when SMS can...

A Generalized Production Set. The Production and Recycling Function
André, Francisco J.; Cerdá, Emilio - Centro de Estudios Andaluces, Government of Andalusia - 2001
This article focuses on the technological aspect of recycling, its effect on the production set of the economy and the optimal use and substitution of natural resources in production. We provide a framework that enables us to compare the relevance of using renewable resources and recyclable...
