In this paper, we consider a problem in environmental policy design by applying optimal stopping rules. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the optimal timings at which the government should adopt environmental policies to deal with increases in greenhouse gas concentrations and to reduce...

In this paper, we propose to analyse the choice of risk management activity made by a non-industrial private forest … owner who derives utility from consumption and from the sentimental value of the forest that bears a risk of disaster. We … that risk aversion increases the level of insurance demand and selfinsurance activity, extending this standard result …

The paper focuses on the choice of forest management strategies for natural hazards by nonindustrial owners, when forest provides nontimber services. We introduce a basic two-period model where the private owner hedges against natural hazards on his/her forest thanks to financial strategies...
