Maziar is currently working on projects on semi-parametric estimation of factor risk-premia, the welfare effects of asset management in general equilibrium, the costs of labor vacancy postings, and effects of macroeconomic uncertainty on labor vacancy postings.
Chapter 5 provides the flip side of range management based on equilibrium notions of ecology - inexplicable shifts in rangeland structure and the impossibility of relying on stocking rate alone to cause shifts in rangeland state.
The paper suggests that a theory of transition is common to successful rangelands and water management under non-equilibrium conditions.

This follows the experience of rangelands in the southwestern USA where decades of equilibrium-based management and fire suppression led to transitions to new states - states that were undesirable from a management point of view but seemingly persistent despite subsequent variations in climate and stocking rates.
Typical areas of interest include foundational issues in asset pricing, financial markets equilibrium, insurance models, portfolio management, quantitative risk management, intertemporal economics, uncertainty and information in finance models.

Here we applied the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) to simulate the soil C dynamics to equilibrium under optimal management with 100% residue retention and no nitrogen (N) deficiency at 613 sites across the Australian croplands.
Opportunistic management for rangelands not at equilibrium.
The immune response against pathogens is a tightly regulated equilibrium, requiring precise management of effectively clearing pathogen while minimizing immunopathologic damage to the host (Bachmann and Kopf 2002).
