Recently, Batabyal and Beladi (2009) have constructed a metric of the expected total monetary damage from the unintentional introduction of invasive species into a country called Home. In this note, we extend this line of inquiry by analyzing the statistical properties of this total monetary...

In this paper, we conduct a theoretical analysis of inspections in a stochastic environment and we shed light on two hitherto unstudied issues concerning inspections in the context of invasive species management. First, given a particular port of entry in a country, we study the properties of a...

We propose a research agenda for studying six basic questions about the impacts of alternate international invasive species control mechanisms on economic agents in a nation such as the USA. The six questions are as follows. First, when can one justify a trade ban as an effective regulatory...

In recent times - see Batabyal and Nijkamp (2005) and Batabyal and Lee (2006) - there has been considerable interest in studying container inspection policies as a regulatory tool in invasive species management. In this note, we continue this line of inquiry and first delineate a generic...

This paper uses a model combining three strands within the bioeconomic literature: spatial management, pest and nuisance management, and enforcement under different ecological dispersal processes (i.e., sink-source versus density-dependent) to illustrate the dual management policy (i.e.,...
