Abstract

Feral hogs destroy crops, encroach upon green spaces, destroy habitat of endangered species, and can be aggressive towards humans. Despite individuals suffering losses from feral hogs, affected individuals often take little action despite control and eradication technologies existing. This study describes what is known about the economic problem associated with feral hogs and the institutional structure surrounding eradication efforts. We argue that institutions at both a national and local level are necessary to control feral hogs.
