We first construct three measures of the expected damage from the unintentional introduction of alien species into a country called Home. We then focus on four market structures. First, perfect competition prevails in both Home and Foreign and Home is a small country. Second, the Home and the...

We propose a research agenda for studying six basic questions about the impacts of alternate international invasive species control mechanisms on economic agents in a nation such as the USA. The six questions are as follows. First, when can one justify a trade ban as an effective regulatory...

I propose a queuing theoretic research agenda for studying five questions about the effects that alternate invasive species control regulations have on consumers and producers in a nation such as the USA. The five questions are as follows. First, when can one justify a trade ban as an effective...

In order to minimize the risk of biological invasions in a country called Home, a seaport manager must inspect a certain number of arriving ships successfully in a time period of interest. Given that inspections are costly, how should our seaport manager, interested in minimizing the total...

The many aspects of alien species management normally all involve decision making over time and under uncertainty. Therefore, in this note, we focus on an arbitrary seaport in a country called Home and we conduct a dynamic and stochastic analysis of two questions that have received insufficient...

The risk of unintentional biological invasions in a nation typically varies by trading partner. Because this recognition has been very recent, several theoretical issues concerning the differential treatment of trading partners in alien species management remain inadequately studied. Therefore,...

We analyze a dynamic Bertrand game model of trade between Foreign and Home in which the Foreign firm's export good is shipped to Home in containers carried by ships. This shipment to Home may also result in the unwitting introduction of alien species from Foreign into Home. By undertaking...
