The Economics of Controlling Insect‐Transmitted Plant Diseases
构建了一个空间依赖的害虫问题分析框架，以加州葡萄酒葡萄的皮尔斯病为例，探讨了传播控制和源头控制两种策略的经济性，并考察了不同假设下社会与私人成本的影响。
Abstract A framework is developed to analyze a spatially dependent economically significant pest problem emanating from a source and spreading via a carrier such as an insect. Transmission and/or source control to combat the pest or disease problem are explored. Alternative assumptions about the effectiveness of transmission control and the feasibility and costs, both social and private, of reduction of the pest population at the source are examined in an application of the model to controlling Pierce's disease in California wine grapes.
