Evaluation of the Surrogator® system to increase pheasant and quail abundance
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2016 Captive‐rearing and release programs have been used to augment populations of ring‐necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), and other gamebirds to provide additional hunting opportunities. However, many question the

Natural Resources and Global Misallocation [PDF]
American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, 2015 Are production factors allocated efficiently across countries? To differentiate misallocation from factor intensity differences, we provide a new methodology to estimate output shares of natural resources based solely on current rent flows data. With this methodology, we construct a new dataset of estimates for the output shares of natural resources ...

Optimal Exploitation of a General Renewable Natural Resource under State and Delay Constraints
Mathematics, 2020 In this work, we study an optimization problem arising in the management of a natural resource over an infinite time horizon. The resource is assumed to evolve according to a logistic stochastic differential equation.

Natural resources, democracy and corruption [PDF]
European Economic Review, 2010 We study how natural resources can feed corruption and how this effect depends on the quality of the democratic institutions. Our game-theoretic model predicts that resource rents lead to an increase in corruption if the quality of the democratic institutions is relatively poor, but not otherwise.

High nitrous oxide emissions from temporary flooded depressions within croplands
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Nitrous oxide is an important greenhouse gas and emissions from managed ecosystems are directly correlated to anthropogenic nitrogen input. Here we have measured nitrous oxide emissions from flooded depressions within croplands and from incubated soil ...

Volatility and the natural resource curse [PDF]
Oxford Economic Papers, 2009 We provide cross-country evidence that rejects the traditional interpretation of the natural resource curse. First, growth depends negatively on volatility of unanticipated output growth independent of initial income, investment, human capital, trade openness, natural resource dependence, and population growth.
