	Economic Analysis of Predator Control: A Literature Review
	Publication #: B-1208 Date Published: 09/01/2010 Publication Author(s): Benjamin S. Rashford Jared M. Grant

Description:
Economic theories and models can inform a wide range of predator control questions, from deciding which control methods are cost-effective to examining whether predator control improves social welfare. Despite the applicability of economics and the long history of formal predator control, there are relatively few rigorous economic analyses of predator control. The objective of this literature review is to summarize existing research to inform current policy and stimulate future research. We begin by briefly reviewing several economic models applicable to the analysis of predator control. This review is followed by a comprehensive summary and annotated bibliography of the existing literature.
