The Stochastic Rotation Problem - A Generalization of faustmann's Formula to Stochastic Forest Growth
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the optimal cutting strategy for an ongoing forest, using stochastic impulse control, and showed how Faustmann's formula can be generalized to growing forests.

Comparing Conventional and New Policy Approaches for Carnivore Conservation – Theoretical Results and Application to Tiger Conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a model to assess how alternative policy approaches can provide a livestock herder with incentives to sustain the socially optimal carnivore population in a coexistence of wildlife and livestock.
Book
Sustainability in the Twenty-First Century
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a rigorous and practical analysis of sustainable development today, using the innovative "sustainomics" framework and identifying the balanced inclusive green growth (BIGG) path to achieve sustainability.
The Clan of Toil: Piney Woods Labor Relations in the Trans-Mississippi South, 1880-1920. (Volumes I-III).
TL;DR: In this article, the Flathead Frontier and the IWWI take over are described. But the main focus of the story is not the war, but the conditions of labor in the Piney Wobblies.
Regional forestry sector modelling of options for industrial forest plantations in Indonesia
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an integrated regional planning system for industrial forest plantation based on the MES spreadsheet-based model and a multi-objective decision-making (MODM) model.

Ecological Economics: Introduction
Michael Common,Sigrid Stagl +1 more
TL;DR: The role of economics, ethics, and ecology in environmental decision-making processes is discussed in this paper, and the fundamental philosophies underlying different approaches, and the tools used in the approaches.

Least-Cost Forest Carbon Reserves: Cost-Effective Subsidies to Convert Marginal Agricultural Land to Forests
Peter J. Parks,Ian W. Hardie +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate a carbon sequestration program on marginal agricultural lands and find that a program similar to the Conservation Reserve Program would sequester 48.6 million tons of carbon per year (3.5 percent of U.S. emissions) on 22.2 million acres.
Book ChapterDOI
Minimum cost strategies for sequestering carbon in forests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the costs of meeting explicit targets for increments of carbon sequestered in forests when both forest management decisions and the area of forests can be varied, and estimated the welfare losses in markets for forest and agricultural products.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable Natural Resource Management and Use without Markets
TL;DR: The task of efficient resource use is made more challenging by ecological complexity that obscures cause (benefits) and effects (costs), and dramatic time lags between individual actions and subsequent social consequences that, together with substantial uncertainty, introduce the chance of irreversibilities.

The Economics of Tropical Forest Land Use Options
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of determining optimal land use allocation between timber and agriculture at the stand and forest levels has been investigated and a complementary intertemporal model for optimal allocation of forest land to agricultural conversion at the forest level is also developed and used to derive a demand relationship for agricultural conversion, which is then approximated through empirical estimation.
