Explicit equilibria in bilinear kinetic models for socio-economic interactions

ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2014
Bilinear kinetic models of Maxwell-Boltzmann type are often used to model socio-economic systems composed by agents that undergo binary interactions, which in general obey to some conservation law. Then, the details of the microscopic

Predators on private land: broad-scale socioeconomic interactions influence large predator management

Ecology and Society, 2016
The proliferation of private land conservation areas (PLCAs) is placing increasing pressure on conservation authorities to effectively regulate their ecological management. Many PLCAs depend on tourism for income, and charismatic large mammal species are
