In an attempt to examine the extent of risk faced by households under gender sensitive JFM programme in West Bengal …, this study suggests that JFM programme could reduce more risk related hardship for JFM households by their increase …

hazard rate. The hazard rate approach considers the risk that waiting for a reward (or the maturity of cash-fl ows) implies …. This risk can be considered as the fail of the system, the mortality of the population the project is intended for, or even …

This paper examines the effect of risk aversion on the optimal rotation age when the stumpage price is stochastic …. Using a mean-variance approach, we show that the optimal rotation age under risk aversion may be lower than, equal to, or … higher than the corresponding optimal rotation age under risk neutrality. Which of these cases holds true depends on the real …

We analyse the decision of an agent to invest and engage in industrial activities that are characterized by two forms of uncertainty: market size uncertainty and competitive effect uncertainty. We apply our model on the bioenergy industries. We compare the case of an ambiguity neutral agent with...

This paper provides an economic analysis of timber species change as a tool for adapting forests to climate change. We use the framework of cost-benefit analysis, taking uncertainty into account both exogenously, via sensitivity analysis, and endogenously, via (quasi-)option value calculations....

risk management tool: CPR as risk-coping and risk-diversification mechanisms. It also compares two types of risk: risk on a … private project and risk on CPR investment by other community members. The theoretical predictions are empirically tested with … one. Our result clearly shows that risk reduction in the private project unambiguously decreases investment in the CPR …

This paper investigates whether a regime switching model of stochastic lumber prices is better for the analysis of optimal harvesting problems in forestry than a more traditional single regime model. Prices of lumber derivatives are used to calibrate a regime switching model, with each of two...

We analyze production and investment decisions of an agent in industrial activities that are characterized by two forms of uncertainty: demand uncertainty (in terms of number of buyers) and competitive effect uncertainty (in terms of other energy resource). We apply our model on the bioenergy...
