Project description

The project aims at developing methods that enables the integration of scientific knowledge on threshold effects in natural systems into economic models of decision making. The focus is to close gaps in the mathematical theory of dynamic optimization required to solve problems where threshold effects are important. Examples of issues where threshold effects have been identified as important includes: Climate change, eutrophication, population harvesting and zootic epidemiological dynamics. The project aims to develop relevant mathematical techniques and show their usefulness by examining relevant applications in ecosystem management and climate change.
