Habitat Selection: Demography and Individual Decisions
Arlt, D. 2007. Habitat selection: Demography and Individual Decisions. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 978-91-576-7316-9 Habitat selection is the behavioural process determining the distribution of individuals among habitats varying in quality, thus affecting individual fitness and population growth.

متن کاملOptimal Land Development Decisions
This research models the development decision when net rents are growing geometrically and uncertainly, and capital intensity is variable. We derive simple rules for the optimal timing of land development projects based on the commonly used internal rate of return and net present value criteria. We show that, even under certainty, projects are optimally delayed beyond the point where net presen...
متن کاملDesigning Pareto-optimal selection systems: formalizing the decisions required for selection system development.
The article presents an analytic method for designing Pareto-optimal selection systems where the applicants belong to a mixture of candidate populations. The method is useful in both applied and research settings. In an applied context, the present method is the first to assist the selection practitioner when deciding on 6 major selection design issues: (1) the predictor subset, (2) the selecti...
متن کاملAre College Costs Worth it? How Individual Ability, Major Choice, and Debt A ect Optimal Schooling Decisions
This paper examines the nancial value over the course of a lifetime of pursuing a college degree under a variety of di erent settings (e.g. major, student loan debt, individual ability). Using a lifecycle simulation approach, I account for ability/selection bias and the substantial probability that entering college freshmen will not eventually graduate, two critically important factors when eva...
متن کاملThe ability to compensate for suboptimal capacity decisions by optimal pricing decisions
Certain companies have high capacity cost and rather moderate production cost. These companies usually assume that deciding about their capacity is quite critical. Frequently, however, they are able to adjust the demand for their products to the available capacity by setting appropriate prices, that is higher (lower) than current prices in the presence of under-capacity (over-capacity). We argu...
