Description:
The potential usefulness of an integrated approach that could be used in estimating the economic cost of a pest incursion on agricultural industries is illustrated. A generic bioeconomic model is developed by linking a simple stochastic pest spread module, built around a set of logistic spread equations, and a partial equilibrium module of the market for the output from an affected industry. The pest spread module estimates the damage over time, while the partial equilibrium module estimates the resultant effect of a reduction in supply on the market. The estimated effects on market variables are then used to estimate the cost of a pest outbreak.
This paper was presented at the 55th Annual AARES (Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society) National Conference in Melbourne on the 9-11th February 2011
