The Coordination and Design of Point-Nonpoint Trading Programs and Agri-Environmental Policies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shortle,   James S.; Abler,   David G.
Agricultural agencies have long offered agri-environmental payments that are inadequate to achieve water quality goals, and many state water quality agencies are considering point-nonpoint trading to achieve the needed pollution reductions. This analysis considers both targeted and nontargeted agrienvironmental payment schemes, along with a trading program which is not spatially targeted. The degree of improved performance among these policies is found to depend on whether the programs are coordinated or not, whether double-dipping (i.e., when farmers are paid twice-once by each program-to undertake particular pollution control actions) is allowed, and whether the agri-environmental payments are targeted. Under coordination, efficiency gains only occur...

THE DESIGN AND COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF ALTERNATIVE SECOND-BEST POINT/NONPOINT TRADING MARKETS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shortle,   James S.; Abler,   David G.; Ribaudo,   Marc.
There is considerable interest in the use of pollution trading between point and nonpoint sources  to improve the cost-effectiveness of water pollution control, but little literature to guide the design of trading systems involving nonpoint sources.  We explore the design of two types of trading systems that would allow trading among and between point and nonpoint sources.

A gravity model approach to forecasting tuberculosis transmission in cattle
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Xie,   Fang; Horan,   Richard D.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in cattle has caused significant economic losses to livestock producers and has proven difficult to eradicate.  It is suspected that cattle movement across different farms and regions is one of the key factors of bTB transmission in the United States. Prior attempts to model the epidemiology of bTB infection within cattle to predict disease transmission have not adequately captured the behavioral aspects of trade.  A better understanding of livestock trade patterns would help in predicting disease transmission and the associated economic effects. In this paper, we develop a gravity model of livestock trade and link it to an epidemiological model of bTB transmission, with the goal being that this information could lead to improved...

RESOURCE OR NUISANCE? MANAGING AFRICAN ELEPHANTS AS A MULTI-USE SPECIES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Bulte,   Erwin H.
Increasing human interference with natural systems causes us to re-think our perception of wildlife species and the economic choices society makes with regards to their management. Accordingly, we generalize existing ‘'bioeconomic' models by proposing an economically-based classification of species.  The theoretical model is applied to the case of African elephant management.  We demonstrate that the classification of the steady state population of a species depends on both species' density and economic factors.  Our main results are threefold.  First, we demonstrate the classification-dependent possibility of multiple equilibria and perverse comparative statics for multi-use species. Second, upon comparing the optimal stock of a multi-use species to the...

Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Lupi,   Frank; Horan,   Richard D.
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960. Recent policies have recognized that IAS are a form of biological pollution and have become focused on preventing new introductions. Given that emissions-based incentives are infeasible for the case of biological emissions, we investigate the cost-effectiveness of various performance proxy-based and technology-based economic incentives to reduce the threat of new invasions of Ponto-Caspian species in the Great Lakes.

CONTROLLING WILDLIFE AND LIVESTOCK DISEASE WITH ENDOGENOUS ON-FARM BIOSECURITY
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Wolf,   Christopher A.; Fenichel,   Eli P.; Mathews,   Kenneth H., Jr.
The spread of infectious disease among and between wild and domesticated animals has become a major problem worldwide.  We analyze the socially optimal management of wildlife and livestock, including choices involving environmental habitat variables and on-farm biosecurity controls, when wildlife and livestock can spread an infectious disease to each other.  The model is applied to the problem of bovine tuberculosis among Michigan white-tailed deer.  The optimum is a cycle in which the disease remains endemic in the wildlife, but in which the cattle herd is depleted when the prevalence rate in deer grows too large.

Economics of Water Quality Protection from Nonpoint Sources: Theory and Practice
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Ribaudo,   Marc; Horan,   Richard D.; Smith,   Mark E.
Water quality is a major environmental issue. Pollution from nonpoint sources is the single largest remaining source of water quality impairments in the United States. Agriculture is a major source of several nonpoint-source pollutants, including nutrients, sediment, pesticides, and salts. Agricultural nonpoint pollution reduction policies can be designed to induce producers to change their production practices in ways that improve the environmental and related economic consequences of production. The information necessary to design economically efficient pollution control policies is almost always lacking. Instead, policies can be designed to achieve specific environmental or other similarly related goals at least cost, given transaction costs and any...

Managing Excessive Predation in a Predator-Prey Setting: The Case of Piping Plovers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Melstrom,   Richard T.; Horan,   Richard D.
Ecosystems involve interspecies interactions that can be influenced by human interventions.  Prior work shows interventions that ignore these interactions cause efficiency-reducing ecosystem externalities.  We show inefficiencies may also be attributable to nature, via interspecies interactions generating excessive competition or predation. Ecosystem management therefore may involve correcting both ecological and economic inefficiencies.  We explore ecosystem management to correct ecological inefficiencies from predation.  The inefficiencies are shown to be akin to anthropogenic externalities arising when humans harvest resources under open access conditions, and so the solution is to “regulate” predators.  Viewing the ecological inefficiencies in this...

Coevolutionary Investments in Human Speech and Trade
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bulte,   Erwin H.; Horan,   Richard D.; Shogren,   Jason F.
We propose a novel explanation for the emergence of language in modern humans, and the lack thereof in other hominids.  A coevolutionary process, where trade facilitates speech and speech facilitates trade, driven by expectations and potentially influenced by geography, gives rise to multiple stable development trajectories.  While the trade-speech equilibrium is not an inevitable outcome for modern humans, we do find that it is a relatively likely result given that our species evolved in Africa under climatic conditions supporting relatively high population densities.

THE WELFARE SENSITIVITY OF AGRI-ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUMENTS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Claassen,   Roger; Howe,   Lance.
Most economic studies of pollution control analyze policies that are optimal for a given set of underlying parameters.  Less understood is how such policies perform when the underlying parameters change and policies are not adjusted in response, or what the benefits of adjustment are.  We construct several measures of welfare sensitivity and use them to analyze the welfare impacts arising in a simulation of second-best, agri-environmental policies.

Jointly-Determined Livestock Disease Dynamics and Decentralized Economic Behavior
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gramig,   Benjamin M.; Horan,   Richard D.
We develop a dynamic model of livestock disease and decentralized economic behavior as a jointly-determined system. By accounting for feedbacks between behavioral choices and disease outcomes we capture the endogenous nature of infection risks. We consider government mandated testing of livestock herds and how private biosecurity incentives are affected by the structure of disease eradication polices. How well disease control policies are targeted affects their effectiveness and may result in farmers substituting government testing and disease surveillance for private biosecurity. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that failing to account for feedbacks between disease and economic dynamics may underestimate the level of infection. Not accounting for...

Livestock Disease Indemnity Design When Moral Hazard is Followed by Adverse Selection
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Gramig,   Benjamin M.; Horan,   Richard D.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
Averting or limiting the outbreak of infectious disease in domestic livestock herds is an economic and potential human health issue that involves both the government and individual livestock producers. Producers have private information about preventive biosecurity measures they adopt on their farms prior to outbreak (ex ante moral hazard), and following outbreak they possess private information about whether or not their herd is infected (ex post adverse selection). We investigate how indemnity payments can be designed to provide incentives to producers to invest in biosecurity and report infection to the government, while simultaneously addressing the information asymmetry between producers and the government. We show how addressing the adverse selection...

Competitive Exclusion, Diversification, and the Origins of Agriculture
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shogren,   Jason F.; Bulte,   Erwin H.
The beginnings of agriculture, or the agricultural revolution, is now recognized to be the widespread adoption of known practices – a change in behavior – as opposed to a phenomenon of discovery and innovation.  In this paper, we combine elements of three theories—climate change, property rights, and competitive exclusion—to create a paleoeconomic model of agriculture and its diffusion.   We focus on climate change as a necessary trigger, which combined with group property rights and competitive exclusion processes produced conditions sufficient for the diffusion of early agriculture. In contrast to other models in which farming emerges as technological progress or climate makes it a more productive option than hunting, farming emerges in our model even if...

Multi-Market Trading for Cooperative Resource Management: An Application to Water Pollution and Fisheries
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shortle,   James S.
Increasingly, environmental problems are recognized to involve linkages across multiple environmental variables (e.g., pollution and a fishery).  Prior work on managing these complex, linked systems generally focuses on efficiency rather than implementation.  However, implementation is important and will generally involve changing human behaviors within the multiple economic sectors that impact upon the multiple environmental variables.  Tradable permit markets are generally seen as a coordinating mechanism, within a particular regulated sector, that enhances efficiency by incentivizing agents to respond to behavioral choices of others within the sector.  However, prior work stops short of coordinating behaviors across multiple sectors for cases where...

Disease and Behavioral Dynamics for Brucellosis Control in Elk and Cattle in the Greater Yellowstone Area
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Xie,   Fang; Horan,   Richard D.
This paper investigates private responses and ecological impacts of policies proposed to confront the problem of brucellosis being spread from elk to cattle in Wyoming.  The policies consist of combinations of changes in elk feeding and population levels.  Farmers’ responses to these dynamics are modeled along with the associated impacts to livestock population dynamics. Our findings suggest that feedbacks between jointly determined disease dynamics and decentralized economic behavior matter, and the elk feedgrounds do not actually generate economic harm to the individual farmers.

Wildlife Conservation Payments to Address Habitat Fragmentation and Disease Risks
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Shogren,   Jason F.; Gramig,   Benjamin M.
We build a stylized model to gain insights into the application of conservation payments to protect endangered species in the face of wildlife-livestock disease risks and habitat fragmentation.  Greater connectivity of habitat creates an endogenous trade-off.  More connectedness ups the chance that populations of endangered species will grow more rapidly; however, greater connectivity also increases the likelihood that diseases will spread more quickly.   We analyze subsidies for both habitat connectedness and livestock vaccination.   We find the cost-effective policy is to initially subsidize habitat connectivity rather than vaccinations; this increases habitat contiguousness, which eventually also increases disease risks.  Once habitat is sufficiently...

CLIMATE CHANGE, AGRICULTURE, AND WATER QUALITY IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY REGION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Abler,   David G.; Shortle,   James S.; Carmichael,   Jeffrey J.; Horan,   Richard D.
Owing to the fundamental importance of food to human welfare and of climate to crop and livestock production, agriculture has been a focus of research on the impacts of climate change and variability.  This research has been largely concerned with implications for the supply and cost of food and for producer incomes.  Societal interest in agriculture is, however, much broader than these issues.  Agriculture is a source of several positive and negative environmental externalities.  Several studies have been directed at the effects of climate change on the negative environmental externalities from agricultural production, including runoff, leaching, and erosion.  These studies excel at modeling the biological and physical relationships and processes...

This paper uses a principal-agent model to examine incentive compatibility in the presence of information asymmetry between the government and individual producers.

THE ECONOMICS OF MANAGING WILDLIFE DISEASE
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Horan,   Richard D.; Wolf,   Christopher A.
The spread of infectious disease among and between wild domesticated animals has become a major problem worldwide. Upon analyzing the dynamics of wildlife growth and infection when the disease animals cannot be identified separately from healthy wildlife prior to the kill, we find that harvest-based strategies alone have no impact on disease transmission. Other controls that directly influence disease transmission and/or mortality are required. Next, we analyze the socially optimal management of infectious wildlife. The model is applied to the problem of bovine tuberculosis among Michigan white-tailed deer, with non-selective harvests and supplemental feeding being the control variables. Using a two-state linear control model, we find a two-dimensional...

Disease and Behavioral Dynamics for Brucellosis in Elk and Cattle in the Greater Yellowstone Area

Autores: Xie,   Fang; Horan,   Richard D.
We investigate private responses to policies that have been proposed to confront a human-wildlife conflict that likely emerged as a result of a management regime designed to address an earlier human-wildlife conflict: specifically, brucellosis in elk that has spread to cattle in Wyoming.  We examine population and disease dynamics under several different management options for the Jackson elk herd, where each option involves a combination of changes in elk feeding and population levels.  Farmer responses to these dynamics, when vaccination is not required, are modeled along with the associated impacts to livestock dynamics.  We also examine livestock management when there is little-to-no consideration given to the risk posed by elk.  In practice, the...

Optimal Control of Brucellosis in Bison  in the Yellowstone National Park Area
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Xie,   Fang; Horan,   Richard D.
Brucellosis is a highly infectious bacterial disease that causes infected females to abort their calves.  It has caused devastating losses to U.S. farmers over the last century. The only known focus of Brucellosis left in the nation is wildlife such as bison and elk in the Greater Yellowstone Area. Vaccination and test-and-slaughter have been applied to brucellosis management in bison, and there has been discussion that a combination of both could potentially eradicate the disease in the Yellowstone National Park. However, there is no study on how to allocate resources between the two actions. This paper investigates the optimal allocation of these two selective management options, in a bioeconomic framework, when there are both existence and recreational...

Ivory poachers threaten the half million remaining African elephants.  In response, Kremer and Morcom (2000) offer a novel solution to reduce the risk of extinction -- a local government can stockpile ivory and threaten to dump it on the market if the elephant population falls too low lowering the expected returns from ivory sales and driving poachers out of business).  We show that ivory stockpiling could be detrimental to elephant conservation because large stocks create strong incentives for strategic extinction by African governments.  This result suggests an alternative strategy to enhance the viability of African elephant stocks -- international conservation organizations rather than governments should hold the stockpiles.

Agricultural nonpoint pollution is inherently stochastic (e.g., due to weather).  In theory, this randomness has implications for the choice and design of policy instruments.  However, very few empirical studies have modeled natural variability.  This paper investigates the importance of stochastic processes for the choice and design of alternative nonpoint instruments. The findings suggest that not explicitly considering the stochastic processes in the analysis can produce significantly biased results.
