  • Tisdell, Clement A.

Abstract

Extends the simple model of the economics of controlling livestock disease as first presented by McInerney (1991) to take account of start-up costs which give use to thresholds effects. A further extension is given to allow for economics of such in disease control which can also have a threshold effect. The problem of uncertainty about the costs and benefits of disease control in livestock is also discussed.
