Invasive Species Control over Space and Time: Miconia calvescens on Oahu, Hawaii
We use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to map the current and future populations of an invasive species, Miconia calvescens, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and
We use Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to map the current and future populations of an invasive species, Miconia calvescens, on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and
Hawaii’s geographical isolation has resulted in the development of unique and fragile ecosystems in which the arrival of a new species may create dramatic changes
The prevention of invasive species is modeled as a “weaker link” public good. Under the weaker link aggregation technology, individual contributions beyond the lowest level
This paper develops a hydrologic-ecologic-economic model of groundwater use. Particularly, we model coastal groundwater management and its effects on submarine groundwater discharge, nearshore marine water
What is the role of resource management in sustaining competitiveness for island economies such as the Republic of the Philippines and Hawaii? We review the
We exploit advances in panel data econometrics to test whether real interest parity holds in the Pacific Basin region. We test for a unit root
The volume of Japanese direct investments in Hawaii surged during the late 1980s. This corresponds to the rapid expansion of Japanese overseas investment in general
This chapter assesses the nature and degree of environmental degradation and resource depletion in China and their relationship to economic activity and envi- ronmental policies.
We develop an integrated model for the prevention and control of an invasive species. The generality of the model allows its use for both existing
This paper develops a model of invasive species control when the species’ population size is unknown. In the face of an uncertain population size, a
In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11), Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). Section 116, Air Transportation
Watershed conservation creates benefits within and beyond the management area of interest. Direct benefits are those realized in the watershed itself, such as improved water
Once established, invasive species can rapidly and irreversibly alter ecosystems and degrade the value of ecosystem services. Optimal control of an unwanted species solves for
This is an experimental study in economics of mandated benefits. Most individuals who have health insurance in the US obtain it through their employer. Some
Economics can clarify the discussion on invasive species in at least three ways. First is through the use of incentives to change human behavior so
