Management of a transboundary wildlife population: A self-enforcing cooperative agreement with renegotiation and variable transfer payments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper characterizes a dynamic contract that allows renegotiation and variable transfer payments (VTP) between owners of two independently-harvested, ecologically-dependent mammal populations. The decision environment is modeled as a two-person differential game. We develop a recursive-efficiency criterion that forms the basis for determining the size of the VTP, which makes the bargaining contract renegotiation-proof and self-enforcing. We further show that the VTP is just as Pareto-efficient as a lump sum or fixed annual transfer payment. A nuisance wildlife species management forms a basis for numerical illustration. r 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Renegotiation-Proof Relational Contracts with Side Payments
We study infinitely repeated two player games with perfect information, where each period consists of two stages: one in which the parties simultaneously choose an action and one in which they can transfer money to each other. We first derive simple conditions that allow a constructive characterization of all Paretooptimal subgame perfect payoffs for all discount factors. Afterwards, we examine...
متن کاملInteragency Coordination among Wildlife Management Agencies in the Presence of Source-Sink Population Dynamics
Including Alaska, more than one-fourth of the US land area is federally owned. Studies of the political economy of this land management are underdeveloped, and our understanding of transboundary coordination between different units is virtually nonexistent. Transboundary issues are especially important for managing mobile resources (wildlife) or resources with externalities (timber and watershe...

In this paper, we analyse how the prospect of international negotiations over transboundary pollution shapes intra-country transfer schemes when the governments of the countriespolluting regions are in charge of environmental policy and negotiations. Federal governments can implement compensation payments between domestic regions and matching grants prior to the international negotiations betw...
متن کاملInterfirm Alliance Interactions and knowledge Learning: A Conceptual Research Model
Alliance raises many knowledge transfer and interfirm learning issues that have implications for how the alliance partners manage their cooperative learning activities in the alliance system. Many of these implications are grounded in the assumption that partners in the alliances have routines for transferring knowledge, learning, gaining management efficiencies. Thus organisations can support ...
متن کاملOptimal Stochastic Control in Continuous Time with Wiener Processes: General Results and Applications to Optimal Wildlife Management
We present a stochastic optimal control approach to wildlife management. The objective value is the present value of hunting and meat, reduced by the present value of the costs of plant damages and traffic accidents caused by the wildlife population. First, general optimal control functions and value functions are derived. Then, numerically specified optimal control functions and value func...
