1. Marine protected areas are increasingly being recommended as an essential component of the management of exploited marine species, but virtually no attention has been given to the influence of parasites. This may be substantial, as a primary effect of marine reserves is to increase the density of an exploited population within the reserve relative to outside the reserve, which may facilitate...

I show that the benefit of a high reserve price in a commonvalues ascending auction is lower than in the observationally-equivalent private values setting. Put another way, when bidders actually have common values, empirical estimation based on a private values model will overstate the value of a high reserve price. Via numerical examples, I show that this same ranking typically applies to the ...

The value of no-take marine reserves as fisheries-management tools is controversial, particularly in high-poverty areas where human populations depend heavily on fish as a source of protein. Spillover, the net export of adult fish, is one mechanism by which no-take marine reserves may have a positive influence on adjacent fisheries. Spillover can contribute to poverty alleviation, although its ...

Utilities use operating reserve for frequency regulation. To ensure that the operating frequency and system security are well maintained, the operating grid codes always specify that the reserve quantity and response rate should meet some prescribed levels. This paper proposes a methodology to evaluate system’s contingency reserve for an isolated power network. With the presented algorithm to e...

We assessed the Reserve vegetation using a combination of plots and transect surveys at different times of the year...
