En el marco del diseño e implementación del subsistema de Áreas Marinas Protegidas (SAMP) en Colombia, se realiza una valoración económica (VE) comprehensiva que utiliza variados métodos e incluye diferentes agentes que van desde comunidades locales hasta compradores de créditos de...

In an insular region, such as the Archipelago of San Andres, Providencia and Santa Catalina, environmental issues tend to sharpen. As result, its environmental management is different compared to other areas of Colombia, since the vast majority of its territory corresponds to marine surface....

After a commercial whaling moratorium was enacted in 1986, whale watching became one of the fastest growing tourism industries worldwide. As whaling is regarded as an activity that is incompatible with whale watching, the possible resumption of commercial whaling has caused an urgent need to...

Resumen El establecimiento de Áreas Marinas Protegidas se ha definido como la principal herramienta para la protección y conservación de los ecosistemas marinos y costeros. Dentro de los beneficios que ofrece el establecimiento de estas áreas se encuentran aumentos en la biodiversidad de...

Travel cost recreation demand models stem from a simple, but penetrating, insight. Consumption of an outdoor recreation site's services requires the user to incur the costs of a trip to that site. Travel costs serve as implicit prices. These costs reflect both people's distances from recreation...

Catastrophic risk is currently a hotly debated topic. This paper contributes to this debate by showing two results. First it shown that the value function in dynamic optimization can have an infinite derivative at some point even if the model specification has functional forms that are finite...

In standard models of spatial harvesting, the resource is distributed over the complete domain and the agent is able to control the harvesting activity everywhere all the time. In some cases though, it is more realistic to assume that the resource is located at a single point in space and that...
