Wildlife Economics in the American West - Special Issue, Western Economics Forum
Dana Hoag ( March, 2022 )
Summary
Scarcely a day goes by that each of us is not affected by wildlife in one way or another, sometimes routinely, sometimes profoundly, sometimes to our detriment but most often to our benefit. The complex relationship between humans and wildlife is sometimes misunderstood or even neglected in laws, policies, programs, and other human-centric approaches to defining the sphere of possibilities for the relationship between wildlife and humans. Economics can help strip away some of the cobwebs to better understand this relationship. The focus of this special edition of the Western Economics Forum is Wildlife Economics in the American West. The eight manuscripts address a variety of issues in the context of human-wildlife interactions with a focus on a number of species including wild pigs, brown bears, livestock guardian dogs, wolves, migratory birds and migratory ungulates. The focus of the papers can be classified into four categories: (1) economic damages; (2) economic benefits; (3) economic assessments; and (4) migratory species. An abstract for each paper follows:
