An Integrated Epidemiological‐Economic Analysis of Foot and Mouth Disease: Applications to the Southern Cone of South America
构建了一个整合流行病学与经济学的模型,分析口蹄疫疫情在时间和空间上的动态经济影响,并以南美洲南锥体为例,证明空间差异化协调干预措施的优势,以及短期与长期控制策略的政策差异。
Animal disease outbreaks impose significant economic costs that evolve over space and time, but few studies have explicitly modeled their temporal and spatial impacts. Using an integrated epidemiological‐economic model, this article demonstrates a methodology that captures the dynamic and spatial effects of animal disease. The model is applied to foot‐and‐mouth disease in the Southern Cone of South America. The results demonstrate the benefits of spatially sensitive policies in which certain regions within the Southern Cone employ different, coordinated interventions. Further, they highlight policy relevant differences between the dominant short‐run and long‐run control options.
