"Implement the green strategies outlined in the bestselling book Green to Gold While the logic of "going green" is now widely accepted across the business world, many executives want trusted, experience-based advice on how to bring a sustainability lens to day-to-day operations. The...

This paper uses a variant of the Lotka-Volterra system explaining the dynamic interaction between populations of infected and healthy individuals in which the demographic and epidemiological parameters (the net healthy birth rate, the death rate of the infected and the infection rate) are...

We consider the links between the health structure of the population and The productive system of an economy which is subject to infectious disease, in particular tuberculosis. Reviewing the models of tuberculosis suggests that a Lotka-Volterra system can capture the dynamics of epidemics. We...

We use a simple Lotka-Volterra model of the disease transmission process to analyse the dynamic population structure when a vaccine is available at a constant price through time which gives partial immunity to the disease. In contrast to earlier results for the full immunity case, we find that...

We postulate that the causes of the problem of invasive alien species are primarily economic and as such, require economic solutions. Invasive alien species are of increasing concern for four reasons. First, introductions are increasing sharply, while mechanisms for excluding or eradicating...

Empirically, the covariance between stock returns varies with their volatility. We seek a robust theoretical explanation of this. With minimal assumptions, we model stochastic properties of equilibrium returns which result from the interaction between inter-temporal traders and noisy,...
