This book describes a dynamic bioeconomic simulation model that
represents the biological, economic, and regulatory features of a
specific invasion management problem-the invasion of California
strawberries by the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum,
and the pesticide use restrictions imposed by California regulators
to manage pesticide resistance. In agriculture, invasive species
represent a unique challenge for public policymakers and economists
analysing optimal pest control policies. To accurately evaluate
policies involving invasive species, economic models must describe
the inter-temporal features of producer responses to invader
biology, seasonal changes in demand, and the policies themselves.
Responses to externalities from pest control, such as pesticide
resistance or pest movement, complicate finding the optimal policy
and must be accounted for. The model described at length in this
book has three components: the population dynamics of the
greenhouse whitefly, a population-yield damage function, and grower
profit maximisation. This book consists of public domain documents
which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and
enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to
provide easy access.
