First-generation R&D-based endogenous growth models have been criticized because they predict strong scale effects (growth rate proportional to the size of...

This paper proposes a dynamic game model of the process through which countries join international environmental agreements (IEAs). The model assumes that ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the periodic arc routing problem when the arcs of a network behave as customers, and sufficient material is delivered s...

We consider a two-player differential game of international emissions to represent the interactions between two groups of countries, namely, developed and ...

We model the role of the world's forests as a major carbon sink and consider the impact that forest depletion has on the accumulation of CO₂ in ...

Blackbox optimization typically arises when the functions defining the objective and constraints of an optimization problem are computed through a computer...

We develop a flexible discrete-time hedging methodology that miminizes the expected value of any desired penalty function of the hedging error within a gener...

We consider a problem of groundwater management in which a group of farmers overexploits a groundwater stock and causes excessive pollution. A Water Agency...

In the absence of an international environmental agreement (IEA) on climate change, a country may be reluctant to unilaterally implement environmental acti...

This paper develops a dynamic risk management model to determine a firm's optimal risk management strategy. This strategy has two elements: first, for low ...

In this article we study a network design problem that arises in the exploitation of wind energy. We formulate this problem as a mixed integer programming ...

This paper presents a framework to determine optimal maintenance planning of a fleet of complex and independent systems. They are made up of several major co...

In an onshore oil field, the productivity of oil wells decreases when they require maintenance. To restore full productivity at a well, it must be visi...

We investigate the dynamic effect that the Tandroy's unsustainable practices have on the forest. The Tandroy people lives in Androy, a region located in th...

Organizational behavior and stakeholder processes continually influence energy strategy choices and decisions. Although theoretical optimizations can provide...

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing our planet in the foreseeable future and despite the urgency of the situation global GHG emissions ...

Carbon leakage and competitiveness concerns are some of the main reasons why an international environmental agreement is lacking to fight climate change. M...

Accurate measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) is an important factor in managing water resources for hydroelectric power generation. SWE over a catchm...

This paper provides some evidence on electricity--natural gas price interactions along with trade effects on electricity prices. The analysis helps to better...

This study proposes a game theoretic approach toward the analysis of renewable portfolio standard policy (RPS), which is one of the main forces behind prom...
