A paper co-authored by Prof. Matthew Oliver (along with Dr. Aaron Strong, University of Iowa- Public Policy Center) has been accepted for publication in Natural Resource Modeling.  The paper, entitled “General Equilibrium Ecosystem Modeling with Alternative Preference Specifications”, falls solidly in the vein of ecological/environmental economics, and analyses the effects of behavioral assumptions on the predicted outcomes of a specific form of bio-economic model.  Natural Resource Modeling is a respected interdisciplinary journal focusing on mathematical applications to environmental science.
