We attempt to design a market framework (which we call ECOSEL) for private provision offorest ecosystem services. ECOSEL is a non-regulatory framework that uses a voluntarypublic good provision mechanism (in a form of an auction) in conjunction with a multiobjectiveoptimization algorithm to...

We present a new mixed-integer program for a multi-depot, multi-vehicle capacitated location-allocation routing problem (LARP). The model simultaneously selects the locations of facilities, allocates customers to the intermediate facilities, and identifies the optimal number of capacitated...

In this paper, we examine the design of permit trading programs when the objective is to minimize the cost of achieving an ex ante pollution target, that is, one that is defined in expectation rather than an ex post deterministic value. We consider two potential sources of uncertainty, the...
