Playing with Fire: Endogenous Risk in Resource Management
建立了一个动态经济模型，分析计划烧除作为野火风险缓解工具的使用、预防措施和时机选择，并应用于植被管理、责任影响和初始燃料负荷问题。
Prescribed fire as a wildfire risk mitigation tool is receiving increasing attention in the United States after a century of emphasis on suppression. A dynamic economic model of prescribed fire use, precaution, and timing is developed and applied to three important policy issues: vegetation management on the wildland‐urban interface; the effect of liability on vegetation management decisions; and the problem of heavy initial fuel loads after years of suppression and fuel accumulation. Numerical simulation results are presented as illustrations of the analytical model.
