The impacts of greenhouse gas abatement policies on the predominantly grazing systems of South-western Australia

Elizabeth H. Petersen, Steven Schilizzi, David Bennett

Three policy options for greenhouse gas abatement in the predominantly grazing systems of Western Australia are analysed. The two taxation policies (a tax on total emissions, and a tax on methane...

The impact of price and yield risk on the bioeconomics of reservoir aquaculture in north Vietnam

Petersen, Elizabeth, Hertzler, Greg, Schilizzi, Steven

A bioeconomic model of reservoir aquaculture in northern Vietnam is used to investigate the impacts of price and yield risk on the level, variability and skewness of expected net revenue and utility....

Assessing the performance of auctions for the allocation of conservation contracts: Theoretical and computational approaches

Hailu, Atakelty, Schilizzi, Steven, Thoyer, Sophie

Debugging Mathematical Programming Models: Principles and Practical Strategies

Pannell, David J., Kingwell, Ross S., Schilizzi, Steven

Bugs are an unavoidable aspect of mathematical programming (MP) modelling. In this paper we discuss the prevention and diagnosis of bugs in MP models. The topic is rarely addressed in the literature...
