Wildlife disease management strategies traditionally focus on lowering aggregate host density below a host-density threshold, reducing infectious contacts (when transmission is density-dependent) to reduce prevalence. The focus on "aggregate" host density is because controls such as harvests are...

We contribute to the literature on new product valuation by presenting a model of new product introduction based on the distance metric (DM) approach of <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="R32">Pinkse, Slade, and Brett (2002)</xref>. Models based on the DM approach are capable of dealing with highly differentiated food categories that are...
