On the economics of ecological nuisance
Sammendrag
This paper analyses the economics of pest and nuisance relating to wild animals. It studies
stylised models where wild animals represent a direct nuisance to agricultural production
through grazing and crop damage. Such damage is particularly relevant in poor rural
communities, where people are dependent on livestock and crop production and at the same
time are living close to nature and wildlife. The analysis encompasses both situations
involving nuisance costs only and cases where the wildlife may also have a harvesting value.
In both instances, the emphasis is on large mammals and criteria for optimal species
eradication are analysed in particular.
