“…Third, the analysis shows that the optimal equilibrium harvesting policy tends to be cyclical, transitioning between states of intensive and relaxed exploitation on the parts of the two harvesting sectors. This result is closely related to prior research on the role of physical and biological capital in renewable resource extraction problems (Wirl, 1992;Liski et al, 2001;Horan et al, 2008). During the cycle a corner solution may be reached, which involves temporarily shutting down one or both harvesting sectors.…”

Invasive pests cross property boundaries. Property managers may have private incentives to control invasive species despite not having sufficient incentive to fully internalize the external costs of their role in spreading the invasion. Each property manager has a right to future use of his own property, but his property may abut others’ properties enabling spread of an invasive species. The incentives for a foresighted property manager to control invasive species have received little attention. We consider the efforts of a foresighted property manager who has rights to future use of a property and has the ability to engage in repeated, discrete control activities. We find that higher rates of dispersal, associated with proximity to neighboring properties, reduce the private incentives for control. Controlling species at one location provides incentives to control at a neighboring location. Control at neighboring locations are strategic complements and coupled with spatial heterogeneity lead to a weaker-link public good problem, in which each property owner is unable to fully appropriate the benefits of his own control activity. Future-use rights and private costs suggest that there is scope for a series of Coase-like exchanges to internalize much of the costs associated with species invasion. Pigouvian taxes on invasive species potentially have qualitatively perverse behavioral effects. A tax with a strong income effect (e.g, failure of effective revenue recycling) can reduce the value of property assets and diminish the incentive to manage insects on one’s own property.

“…The value of the study is thus in providing insight regarding the potential gains and losses from ring vaccination in different circumstances -which will hopefully beneficially enlighten policymakers facing an actual FMD outbreak -but no specific recommendation is given. (Horan and Wolf, 2005), and joint management of wildlife and livestock disease (Horan et al, 2007) A number of recent studies examine the dynamics of disease and the optimal path of disease control actions over time. These studies also examine the desirable use of various policy instruments, such as testing, culling, vaccination and/or use of biosecurity and other actions, with the use of each instrument depending on its cost and also on the value of the animal resources in question.…”

“…However, they are wholly dependent on the assumptions of the model, and these assumptions may change as a result of further research. Indeed, in a subsequent article, Horan et al (2007), the authors developed and again analysed a dual-host pathogen model involving cattle and deer. Whereas the first article solved for an optimal solution for a single-host pathogen model involving deer, with effects on the cattle sector treated exogenously, the second article allows for simultaneous interaction between the deer and cattle sectors.…”

Economists and veterinarians use similar approaches to analyse animal health threats, but veterinarians are concerned primarily with providing practical guidelines to peers and/or policy-makers, while economists focus more on understanding the benefits to society as a whole and often provide only general guidelines to policy-makers and little specific direction to practicing veterinarians. Despite the benefits of working together, differences in perspective and analytical approach often cause economists and veterinarians to struggle in dialogue and to lose some of the mutual gains that could be achieved through collaboration. This article discusses the use of economics in animal health management, identifies several useful literature reviews, and analyses a number of recent studies to explore the advantages and disadvantages of different conceptual and methodological approaches.
