Numbers of non-indigenous species--species introduced from elsewhere - are increasing rapidly worldwide, causing both environmental and economic damage. Rigorous quantitative risk-analysis frameworks, however, for invasive species lacking. We need to evaluate the risks posed by quantify relative merits different management strategies (e.g. allocation resources between prevention control). present a bioeconomic modelling framework analyse activity environment. The model identifies optimal...
Lab experiments have gone to extremes isolate and repress other-regarding behavior in extensive-form bargaining games, with limited success. Consider, for example, Elizabeth Hoffman et al.’s (1996; hereafter HMS) Anonymous Dictator game. This game controls self-interested strategic by giving a person complete control over the distribution of wealth, anonymity from all others including experimenter. While theory predicts people will offer up nothing others, fact they still share wealth about...

Abstract We examine the net benefits of social distancing to slow spread COVID-19 in USA. Social saves lives but imposes large costs on society due reduced economic activity. use epidemiological and forecasting perform a rapid benefit–cost analysis controlling outbreak. Assuming that measures can substantially reduce contacts among individuals, we find about $5.2 trillion our benchmark case. magnitude critical parameters might imply negative benefits, including value statistical life...
Navigating global changes requires a coevolving set of collaborative, institutions.
Resilience to specified kinds of disasters is an active area research and practice. However, rare or unprecedented disturbances that are unusually intense extensive require a more broad-spectrum type resilience. General resilience the capacity social-ecological systems adapt transform in response unfamiliar, unexpected extreme shocks. Conditions enable general include diversity, modularity, openness, reserves, feedbacks, nestedness, monitoring, leadership, trust. Processes for building...
Abstract In this paper, we value food safety in a nonhypothetical setting—experimental auction markets. First, subjects underestimate the relatively low probabilities of food‐borne illness. Second, measures are within flat range across wide risks, even with repeated market experience and full information on objective probability severity illness, suggesting rely prior perceptions. Third, marginal willingness to pay decreases as risk increases, that perceived quality new can affect weight...
Traditional environmental and resource economics uses rational choice theory to guide the evaluation of alternative policy options correct market failure. Behavioral economics, however, has challenged this conventional mindset by showing how people frequently make choices state values that deviate from presumption rationality, i.e., behavioral failures. This article explores potential advance science economics. We address four questions: (1) How can failures affect thinking about policy? (2)...
The Endangered Species Act of 1973 is one our most far-reaching and controversial environmental laws. While the benefits protecting endangered species accrue to entire nation, a significant fraction costs are borne by private landowners who shelter about 90 percent nearly 1,000 listed species. pressure know whether social preservation exceed has thrust economics into ongoing reauthorization debate. This paper examines how economists can help better odds that when society imposes bears...
