Stable partial cooperation in managing systems with tipping points
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tipping of a natural system, entailing loss ecosystem services, may be prevented by stable partial cooperation. The presence tipping points reverses the grim story that high level cooperation is hard to achieve and leaves large possible gains We investigate game with constant emissions piecewise linear response, well-known lake system concave-convex dynamics time-dependent emissions. back, leading gain in can also induced cooperation, but harder achieve. A physically reversible prove socially irreversible.

Predicting tipping points in complex environmental systems.
Ecologists have long recognized that ecosystems can exist and function in one state within predictable bounds for extended periods of time and then abruptly shift to an alternate state (1–5). Desertification of grasslands, shrub expansion in the Arctic, the eutrophication of lakes, ocean acidification, the formation of marine dead zones, and the degradation of coral reefs represent real and pot...

متن کاملTipping Points in Schelling Segregation
Thomas Schelling’s spacial proximity model illustrated how racial segregation can emerge, unwanted, from the actions of citizens acting in accordance with their individual local preferences. One of the earliest agent-based models, it is closely related both to the spin-1 models of statistical physics, and to cascading phenomena on networks. Here a 1-dimensional unperturbed variant of the model ...
متن کاملTipping points in Complex Coupled Life-Environment Systems
Simple models of complex phenomena provide powerful insights and suggest low-level mechanistic descriptions. The Earth system arises from the interaction of subsystems with multi-scale temporal and spatial variability; from the microbial to continental scales, operating over the course of days to geological time. System-level homeostasis has been demonstrated in a number of conceptual, artifici...
متن کاملAmbiguous Tipping Points∗
We analyze the policy implications of aversion to Knightian uncertainty (or ambiguity) about the possibility of tipping points. We demonstrate two channels through which uncertainty aversion affects optimal policy in the general setting. The first channel relates to the policy’s effect on the probability of tipping, and the second channel to its differential impact in the preand post-tipping re...
