Paul Kleindorfer was among the first to weigh in on and nurture the stream of sustainable
operations management. The thoughts laid out here are based on conversations we had …

Tip** points can occur in many complex environmental systems and often produce abrupt
and irreversible change. Thresholds associated with tip** points are difficult to predict in …

We study a common-pool resource game where the resource experiences failure with a
probability that grows with the aggregate investment in the resource. To capture decision …

This paper provides a review of the economics of tip** points in natural resources and
climate change economics, examining recent advances in theoretical modeling and …

Many common pool resources (CPRs) have tip** points—stock levels below which the
resource is permanently damaged or destroyed—but the specific levels at which these …

Overexploitation of ecosystems can cause drastic shifts to unfavourable states once
ecosystems reach critical thresholds. Experimental studies have shown that the knowledge …

It is generally recognised that the resources of the world are scarce although the natural (ie,
biological) resources can be reproduced through growth. Equally, however, we can be …

This paper presents a tractable dynamic game in which agents jointly use a resource. The
resource replenishes fully but collapses irreversibly if the total use exceeds a threshold. The …

Extreme environmental variations, as a phenomenon deriving from climate change, led to an
exacerbated uncertainty on water availability and increased the likelihood of conflicts …

How do resource uncertainty and intergroup conflict affect intragroup cooperation over
resources in the common pool dilemmas? Does a danger of sudden resource depletion …
