Preference Heterogeneity in the Structural Estimation of Efficient Pigovian Incentives for Insecticide Spraying to Reduce Malaria
ENVIRONMENTAL & RESOURCE ECONOMICS, 70(1), 169–190.
author keywords: Discrete choice models; Preference heterogeneity; Externalities; Pigovian incentives; Malaria; Insecticides; Locational sorting models
TL;DR:
The theoretical structure similar to locational sorting models, which characterize equilibria in terms of marginal individuals who are indifferent between locations, is used and can be applied to other bioeconomic externalities with spillovers from discrete preventative actions, including agricultural pest management and the control of pest infestations and invasive species.

2018 review
Wicked evolution: Can we address the sociobiological dilemma of pesticide resistance?
[Review of ]. SCIENCE, 360(6390), 728–732.
MeSH headings : Agriculture / economics; Animals; Arthropods / drug effects; Arthropods / genetics; Crops, Agricultural / microbiology; Crops, Agricultural / parasitology; Drug Resistance; Herbicides; Insecticides; Pest Control / economics; Pest Control / methods; Plant Weeds / drug effects; Plant Weeds / genetics
TL;DR:
Current evidence suggests that insect and weed evolution may outstrip the authors' ability to replace outmoded chemicals and other control mechanisms, and it is necessary to address the mix of ecological, genetic, economic, and sociopolitical factors that prevent implementation of sustainable pest management practices.

Modeling the Effects of Vital Rate Manipulation and Management Scenarios to Predict the Population Impact of Restoration Programs on an Unrecovered Coastal Population of Striped Bass
NORTH AMERICAN JOURNAL OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, 38(3), 639–649.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that high mortality rates are preventing the development of a sufficient abundance of adult spawning stock in the Neuse River and it is recommended that managers use this model to identify the most effective management scenario—given specific goals and constraints—to help increase Striped Bass abundance in theNeuse River.

Understanding the Complexities of Food Safety Using a “One Health” Approach
Microbiology Spectrum, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Communicable Disease Control / methods; Communicable Diseases / transmission; Environmental Health / methods; Food Safety / methods; Humans; One Health; Zoonoses / prevention & control; Zoonoses / transmission
