We develop a theoretical and empirical model to measure the benets and costs of policy options for controlling a seedborne, imported fungus, Verticillium dahliae, seriously aecting lettuce production in California. In 1995, the disease Verticillium wilt, caused by the fungus V. dahliae,...

This paper develops an evolutionary bio-economic model for hunting, farming and tourism (non-consumptive and safari hunting) to study the determinants of the prosperity of conservancy programs. The model is inspired in the Conservancy program of Namibia, despite it is of more general...
