Goods are often allocated publically by means of queuing processes in developing countries.In such situations, which group of citizens should a corrupt government official favor? In addition,what should be the basis for this favoritism? To the best of our knowledge, these salient questionshave...

Ecologists and economists are increasingly in agreement that ecological and economic systems are linked and that these systems ought to be viewed as one system. Perhaps because this recognition has been rather recent, neither ecologists nor economists have analyzed the transient behavior of...

Although ecologists have long recognized the significance of persistence in determining the static and the intertemporal behavior of ecological systems, it is only very recently that economists have begun to study this notion in relation to the use of services that are provided by jointly...

What are the nexuses between corruption, bribery, and wait times in the public allocation of goods in developing countries? This question has received scant attention in the literature. Consequently, we use queuing theory to analyze models in which a good is allocated publically, first in a...

Economists and ecologists are in agreement that economic and ecological systems are connected and that these systems should be studied as one system. However, because this recognition has been rather recent, neither economists nor ecologists have studied the short run behavior of jointly...

Although ecologists have long recognized the importance of persistence in determining the behavior of ecological systems, it is only very recently that economists have begun to analyze this notion in relation to the use of services that are provided by jointly determined ecological-economic...

This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effects of temporal controls on the stochastic behavior of renewable natural resources such as fisheries and rangelands. First, we show that temporal resource management is characterized by the existence of a threshold effect. Second, we point...

Human (managerial) actions affect the survival probabilities of the keystone species of an ecological-economic system. In turn, the well-being of these keystone species translates into the well-being or the resilience of the underlying ecological-economic system. What are the theoretical...
