Systematic planning for biodiversity conservation is being conducted at scales ranging from global to national to regional. The prevailing planning paradigm is to identify the minimum land...

Fishery Management Under Multiple Uncertainty (2004)
Sethi, Gautam, Costello, Christopher, Fisher, Anthony, Hanemann, W. Michael, Karp, Larry
On agricultural protection and exotic species introductions (2001)
Costello, Christopher, McAusland, Carol
Unintentional introductions of non-indigenous plants, animals, and microbes cause significant ecological and agricultural crop damage worldwide. There is an emerging empirical link between...
Overharvesting the traditional fishery with a captured regulator (2000)
Berck, Peter, Costello, Christopher
Rent dissipation in open access fisheries is a well studied problem (Gordon 1954; Homans and Wilen 1997). Regulation is seen as a possibly remedy to the externality of entry, which eventually leads...
Maintaining Cooperation Under the Pacific Salmon Treaty (2000)
The political agreement over management of transboundary pacific salmon reached in 1999 should be supplemented with economic incentives to help maintain cooperation between the U.S. and Canada.
Poverty program participation and employment in timber-dependent counties (1999)
Berck, Peter, Costello, Christopher, Hoffman, Sandra, Fortmann, Louise
This paper uses cointegrated time-series methods to evaluate the effect of timber employment on participation in a major poverty program-Aid to Families with Dependent Children-Unemployed Parent...
Robert Deacon, Dominic Parker, Christopher Costello
During 2002-2004 a voluntary, profit sharing harvesters' co-operative was allowed to operate in the Chignik Salmon fishery in Alaska. Regulators split the fishery's total allowable catch between the...
A Model of Fishery Harvests with a Voluntary Co-op
Robert Deacon, Christopher Costello, Dominic Parker
We present a preliminary model of the within-season behavior of a fishery regulated by a total allowable catch constraint and season closure. An individual's catch depends on where he/she deploys...

Rent dissipation in open access fisheries is a well studied problem (Gordon 1954; Homans and Wilen 1997). Regulation is seen as a possibly remedy to the externality of entry, which eventually leads...
Larry Karp, Christopher Costello
We study the optimal quota sequence, in a stationary environment, where a regulator and a non-strategic firm have asymmetric information, The regulator is able to learn about the unknown cost...

Optimal harvesting of stochastic spatial resources
Costello, Christopher, Polasky, Stephen
We characterize the optimal harvest of a renewable resource in a generalized stochastic spatially explicit model. Despite the complexity of the model, we are able to obtain sharp analytical results....
The Efficiency Gains from Fully Delineating Rights in an ITQ Fishery
Costello, Christopher, Deacon, Robert
Individual transferable quota (ITQ) regulation relies on a decentralized market mechanism and a single price to allocate access to a stock of fish. The resulting allocation will not be fully...
