Abstract: This study extends to the natural resource and environmental economics the use of the conventionalcircuit analysis and control in engineering. Resources and environmental management problemsare investigated with help of continuous-time and discrete-time systems: optimal use of natural resources, growth models with polluting events and fishery models with open-access to the industry. This study introduces the fundamental block-diagram approach, with small-size applications to natural resources,pollution and fisheries management problems. The software MATHEMATICA (version 7.0.1.0) and its application packages are used for analyzing and solving the systems, symbolically and numerically.
Plenary Speaker's Brief Biography: At present, Professor Andr´e A. Keller (66) is an associate researcher in mathematical economics with application to environment problems and related modeling techniques at the CLERS´E a research unit of the French Centre National de le Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) at the University Lille 1, for Sciences and Technologies. Prof. Keller received his PhD in Economics (Operations Research) in 1977 from the Universit´e de Paris. He taught applied mathematics (linear and nonlinear optimization techniques) and econometrics, microeconomics, theory of games and dynamic macroeconomic analysis. Since 1970, he has been chief econometrician at the Centre d’Observation Economique of the Chamber of Commerce & Industry of Paris. His experience includes acroeconomic, regional studies and commercial statistics: building econometric systems for short run analysis, analyzing policy impacts and forecasting, monthly time-series treatments. At the same time, he contributed to teaching microeconomics with the Universit´e de Paris. Since 1980, he has been Associate Professor at the Universit´e de Paris and Researcher in a research unit of the CNRS. His experience centers are on building and analyzing large scale macro-econometric models, as well as forecasting. Since 1985, his research interest has concentrated on high frequency time-series modeling with application to the foreign exchange market : spectral properties of usual filters, automatic selection of ARIMA models, efficiency tests. Since 1990, Prof. Keller’s research is centered on discrete mathematics (graph theory), stochastic differential games and tournaments, circuit theory of systems, dynamics and optimal control in economic modeling under uncertainties and in a fuzzy environment. Prof. Andr´e A. Keller’s publications consist in writing articles and co-authoring books. The articles in scientific reviews are on model building with application to macroeconomics and international finance. The books chapters are on semi-reduced forms of econometric models (Martinus Nijhoff, 1984), econometrics of technical change (Springer and IIASA, 1989), advanced time-series analysis (Woodhead-Faulkner), circuits enumeration in digraphs (Springer, 2008), stochastic differential games (Nova Science, 2009), optimal fuzzy control (InTech, 2009), circuit analysis (Nova Science, forthcoming 2010).
