By Jim Roumasset This is to share some recent energy research from the Philippines. Some of the findings have relevance for other small economies such
We consider the prospects for sustainable growth using expected utility models of optimal investment under threat from natural disasters. Adoption of a continuous time, stochastic
The Philippines provides an extreme example of Rodrik’s observation that late developing countries experience deindustrialization at lower levels of per capita income than more advanced

The contribution of the environmental-resource sector to national well-being is the sum of natural resource depletion and environmental degradation. Inasmuch as existing resource stocks are
Economically optimal groundwater extraction allocates water over space and time to its highest and best social use. But optimal management of water resources also requires
To meet the growing demand for freshwater, many regions have increased groundwater pumping in recent years, resulting in declining groundwater levels worldwide. A promising development
Managing water resources independently may result in substantial economic losses when those resources are interdependent with each other and with other environmental resources. We first
