Outbreaks of animal diseases such as foot and mouth disease (FMD) are of great concern for agriculture. In this paper, we quantify the potential dynamic impacts of such a disease on Brittany, a French region with an important livestock sector. In order to do this, we develop a dynamic computable...

Epizootic outbreaks such as Foot and Mouth Disease are of great concern for agriculture. In this paper, we quantify the potential dynamic impacts of such a disease on Brittany, a French region with a strong livestock sector. We develop a dynamic computable general equilibrium model with rational...

The economic consequences of livestock epidemics have been long studied for purposes ofestimating the costs of the veterinary measures. In this paper, we show that this catastrophicrisk may have wide market consequences, and that the risk management systems are quitelimited to compensate long...

The aim of this paper is to propose an analytical framework to explore farmers’ vaccination decisions against endemic animal diseases. First, a theoretical model is developed to highlight how the characteristics of the vaccine influence the farmer’s vaccination decisions over time and the...

The economic consequences of livestock epidemics have been long studied for purposes of estimating the costs of preventive and curative veterinary measures. In this paper, we show that this catastrophic risk may have wide market consequences, and that the risk management systems are quite...

Cette thèse quantifie les répercussions économiques liées à la survenue d’une épidémie d’élevage. Ces maladies constituent un risque de production aux implications multiples, occasionnant parfois un risque qui s’étend à toute la filière animale, voire à l’ensemble de...
