Honey Bee Pollination Markets and the Internalization of Reciprocal Benefits
研究了美国蜜蜂授粉市场的经济力量，分析了迁徙养蜂行为及授粉费用的决定因素，揭示了市场机制如何内部化外部效应。
The world's most extensive markets for pollination services are those for honey bee pollination in the United States. These markets play important roles in coordinating the behavior of migratory beekeepers, who both produce honey and provide substitutes for ecosystem pollination services. We analyze the economic forces that drive migratory beekeeping and theoretically and empirically analyze the determinants of pollination fees in a larger and richer data set than has been studied before. Our empirical results expand our understanding of pollination markets and market‐supporting institutions that internalize external effects.
