    2009-Das-EtAl-Bioeconomic harvesting of a pre-predator fishery
    This paper deals with the problem of non-selective harvesting of a prey–predator system by using a reasonable catch-rate function instead of usual catch-per-unit-effort hypothesis.

    2005-DieboldEtAl-Modeling Bond Yields In Finance And Macroeconomics
    From a macroeconomic perspective, the short-term interest rate is a policy instrument under the direct control of the central bank. From a finance perspective, long rates are risk-adjusted averages of expected future short rates.

    6-022-CannibalismPredatorPrey-ModelingScenario
    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.

    2000-Idels-Wang-Harvesting Fisheries Management Strategies With Modified Effort Function
    This study concludes that a control parameter beta (the magnitude of the effect of the fish population size on the fishing effort function E), changes not only the rate at which the population goes to equilibrium, but also the equilibrium values.
