Renewable resource management with environmental predictionCanadian Journal of Economics - Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 196-211 - 2001
Christopher Costello, Stephen Polasky, Andrew R. Solow
Variations in environmental conditions affect renewable resource growth. The ability to predict such variations is improving, providing scope for improved management. We generalize a common stochastic stock recruitment model to explore how optimal management changes with environmental prediction. We obtain three main results. First, while it might seem that a prediction of adverse future c...... hiện toàn bộ
