A Model of Pesticide Resistance as a Common Property and Exhaustible Resource By
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dynamic farm production model analyzes the interaction between the externalities caused by pest mobility and the development of pesticide resistance, a nonrenewable resource, in the context of agricultural biotechnologies. The model measures the effect of farmers’ myopic behavior and the impact of pest mobility on the path of resistance.

Investigating the Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics and Resistance to Thrips of Onion Genotypes
To evaluate quantitative and qualitative traits as well as thrips resistance of onion genotypes, an experiment was conducted at Behbahan Agricultural Research Station, Behbahan, Khuzestan, Iran from 2013 to 2015. The experiment was a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Pesticide-treated and pesticide-free plots were considered as sub plots and ten oni...
متن کاملThe Grey Paradox: How Fossil-fuels Owners Can Bene t From Carbon Taxation.∗
This paper studies the distributional impacts of optimal carbon taxation on fossilfuels owners. We show that optimal carbon taxation can increase the pro ts of owners of a carbon-emitting exhaustible resource. Such phenomenon contrasts with claims from fossil-fuels owners especially from OPEC member countries that carbon taxation will undermine their pro ts. We build a theoretical model of reso...
متن کاملProject resource investment problem under progress payment model
As a general branch of project scheduling problems, resource investment problem (RIP) considers resource availabilities as decision variables to determine a level of employed resources minimizing the costs of the project. In addition to costs (cash outflows), researchers in the later extensions of the RIP took payments (cash inflows) received from clients into account and used the net present v...
متن کاملA Dynamic Game of Status-Seeking with Public Capital and an Exhaustible Resource
This paper explores the link between status-seeking and the exploitation of a common-property exhaustible resource. The extracted resource is an input in the production of a final good. The other input is man-made capital, which is a second state variable. Extraction requires efforts. Economic agents derive utility not only from absolute consumption, but also from relative consumption, because ...
متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
