MODEL OF COMPETITIVE INTERACTION OF TWO COUNTER-AGENTS AND LAND USE PROBLEM ON HAITI
This work is dedicated to verification of the model of competitive interaction of two counter-agents applied to land use problem. The calculations of territory share occupied by forests and agricultural lands in Haiti and Dominican Republic in 1990-2011 were performed. The results of these calculations were then compared to actual statistical data. The work contains preliminary practical recommendations on environmental policy that would allow combining conservation of natural ecosystems and economic growth. A conclusion is made that the use of models, which regard firms and ecosystems as different agents, allows modeling situations of practical importance and assessing the effectiveness of environment conservation measures.
