  • Spatially explicit inter-temporal forest management decision under the risk of fire

    Creator:
    Konoshima, Masashi
    Abstract:
    This paper presents a framework for analyzing efficient spatial allocation of forest management efforts - fuel treatment and harvest - under the risk of fire. The framework integrates a fire behavior model and a spatially-explicit stochastic dynamic optimization model. I investigate the effects of spatial interaction across plots during forest...

  • Wildfire risk management : strategic interaction and spatial interdependence

    Creator:
    Busby, Gwenlyn M.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, I examine how the spatial configuration of forest ownership influences the risk-mitigating behavior of public and private forestland owners over time. I determine whether or not the predicted equilibrium outcomes are socially optimal and, if not, whether the introduction of regulation, liability, or private insurance would lead...
