摘要:We develop a novel spatial-dynamic model of landowners managing a disease in a perennialcrop. We use the model to investigate the dynamic gains from cooperation to address the spatialexternality resulting from disease vector dispersal.We find that solving for the complete time pathof control decisions is important; cooperation leads to each landowner investing more in treatmentin early years than in cases where one agent free rides on the other’s control. Our model is based onPierce’s Disease of grapevines in California’s Napa Valley but is applicable to a range of diseasesin perennial crops.
