Wildlife conflicts: wolves vs. moose
研究了狼重新定居斯堪的纳维亚后对驼鹿的捕食如何影响土地所有者管理决策和狩猎利润，并比较了私人最优与社会最优管理方案。
Abstract During the last few decades, the grey wolf (Canis lupus) has re-colonised Scandinavia. The current population counts some 430 individuals. With the wolf re-colonisation, several conflicts have arisen. One important conflict is due to wolf predation on moose (Alces alces). This conflict is studied under the assumption of landowner profit maximisation as well as routinised harvesting behaviour. The analysis emphasises how compensation for the predation loss affects landowner management and harvest profitability. The solutions to the landowner problems are also compared to the overall (social planner) management situation, where traffic costs due to moose–vehicle and railway collisions are included.
