Investing to Both Prevent and Prepare for Covid-XX
One cause of the high rate of COVID-19 cases in the USA is thought to be insufficient prior capital investment in national health programs to preemptively reduce the likelihood of an outbreak and in national capacity to reduce the severity of any outbreak that does occur. We analyze the choice of capital investments (e.g. testing capacity, stockpiles of PPE, and information sharing capacity) and find the economically efficient capital stock assoc…
The Economic Case for a Pandemic Fund
Managing Disease Risks from Trade
Merging Economics and Epidemiology to Improve the Prediction and Management of Infectious Disease
Mathematical epidemiology, one of the oldest and richest areas in mathematical biology, has significantly enhanced our understanding of how pathogens emerge, evolve, and spread. Classical epidemiological models, the standard for predicting and managing the spread of infectious disease, assume that contacts between susceptible and infectious individuals depend on their relative frequency in the population. The behavioral factors that underpin cont…
Managing excessive predation in a predator-endangered prey setting
Tradeable risk permits to prevent future introductions of invasive alien species into the Great Lakes
Is the Tasmanian tiger extinct? A biological–economic re-evaluation
A Paleoeconomic Theory of Co‐Evolution and Extinction of Domesticable Animals
One Pleistocene mystery is why early North Americans eradicated their large, potentially domesticable animals (e.g., horses), whereas early Europeans did not. A commonly‐held hypothesis is that European species were evasive due to co‐evolution with hominids, whereas North American animals were naïve and unable to adapt quickly enough when experienced human hunters arrived from Eurasia. We explore this hypothesis with a paleoeconomic model of co‐e…
