Demonstrates how the theory of stochastic processes and techniques of stochastic modeling can be used to model arranged marriage settings and to help explain various aspects of the nature of decision-making in arranged marriages. This book is suitable for conducting empirical and theoretical research on a subject of considerable importance.
The collection showcases innovative dynamic and stochastic techniques applied to various research questions in natural resource and environmental economics. It highlights frontier-level research on topics such as biodiversity, invasive species, and environmental regulation, emphasizing the role of theoretical modeling. By integrating unfamiliar methodologies, the essays offer fresh insights into issues that have lacked comprehensive modeling. Additionally, the work connects diverse areas within the field, promoting a unified perspective on critical challenges in resource management and ecological economics.
This book tackles two critical questions stemming from the uneven development of Asian economies: how to implement policies that promote economic growth and lift people out of poverty, and how to ensure that this growth is sustainable, inclusive, and environmentally conscious. By providing a unified perspective on regional growth and sustainable development in Asia, the book emphasizes dynamic modeling and the importance of robust theoretical and empirical modeling in addressing key public policy issues. Topics covered include growth accounting, natural resource management, regulation of environmental externalities, geographic information systems, and regional climate change. Each chapter is authored by international experts actively engaged in research within their fields, offering readers a comprehensive and contemporary view of pressing issues at the intersection of regional growth and sustainable development in Asia. This makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of economic growth and sustainability in the region.
