Groundwater Management: Combating the Sinking Feeling
Igor Cialenco, Mike Ludkovski
This non-technical survey introduces the topic of groundwater management to the mathematics and statistics communities. We focus on the emerging marketplaces for groundwater pumpin…
Pro-rata mechanisms in groundwater markets
Igor Cialenco, Michael Ludkovski, Gael Dimitri Tekam Fongouo
We introduce a pro-rata rationing mechanism for resolving supply-demand imbalances in groundwater markets, extending the price-formation model of Cialenco and Ludkovski (2025). We…
Multiperiod Groundwater Markets
Igor Cialenco, Michael Ludkovski
Motivated by the emergence of local groundwater exchanges, we construct and analyze stochastic models of dynamic groundwater markets. Our primary focus is endogenizing the price fo…
A groundwater market model
Igor Cialenco, Michael Ludkovski
We introduce the problem of groundwater trading, capturing the emergent groundwater market setups among stakeholders in a given groundwater basin. The agents optimize their product…
Vector-valued robust stochastic control
Igor Cialenco, Gabriela Kováčová
We study a dynamic stochastic control problem subject to Knightian uncertainty with multi-objective (vector-valued) criteria. Assuming the preferences across expected multi-loss ve…
