“…5 The OIE Agreement requires a 'stamping out' policy to be adopted by Member nations in which outbreaks are detected whereby infected and possibly infected animals are slaughtered and animal movement restricted to contain and eliminate the outbreak (OIE 2003). 6 Cook and Fraser (2002) use a spatial evaluation technique to examine the welfare implications of costly quarantine treatments on regionalized and centralized industries.…”

A framework is developed to evaluate eradication as one of three alternative management responses to an outbreak of an invasive species: eradication, suppression or no action. This framework can be used to establish under what conditions an eradication option could provide an expected net economic benefit, and whether this net benefit exceeds that of the other two options. The eradication option is more likely to be preferred in situations where there is an immediate export benefit that is derived from eradication of the outbreak, and also the uncertainty associated with the likely success of eradication is low.

“…In WA, component enterprises of an industry or group of industries can be separated by large distances. They can also be characterized by different cost structures and have different capacities to absorb the effects of invasive species introductions (Cook & Fraser, ). Hence, cooperative formation may be advised on a regional or subregional level rather than a State level to minimize transaction costs.…”

Eradication versus control of Mediterranean fruit fly in Western Australia

1 The primary chemicals used by Western Australia's horticultural industries with respect to field control and post-harvest disinfestation procedures for the Mediterranean fruit fly are soon to be withdrawn from use because of public health concerns. 2 When this occurs, the necessary switch to alternative control methods such as bait sprays and intensive fruit fly trapping will involve additional producer costs. 3 The present study demonstrates that these costs are likely to exceed the costs of eradication using the sterile insect technique. 4 Given this result, eradication cost sharing arrangements between government and industry are discussed that could produce mutual benefits in the long term.

“…IT capability is an important factor for clearance efficiency. Although Cooket al [9] pointed out that any inspection and quarantine policy must be fully risk-assessed and in accordance with international standard guidelines, risk management adjusts inspection items and inspection rates to impact clearance efficiency.…”

Inspection and quarantine clearance efficiency is critical to port clearance effectiveness. It reflects the inspection and quarantine system's layout rational along with present and potential capacity; it provides a theoretical basis for the analysis of internal economic effectiveness. Research of inspection and quarantine clearance efficiency in Shanghai, China has identified four impact factors and several measurement indicators. A factor conception model has been developed based on the theory of reason and results. The improved structural equation model was proposed to analyze the original data and to test and verify the model rational. Risk management was confirmed as having the greatest impact on efficiency with an effect level of 0.78, followed by the customs environment with an effect level of 0.59. The results offer authorities a quantitative basis and new perspectives on how to improve the efficiency of customs clearance and promote Shanghai's trade facilitation.
