Economics of Harmful Invasive Species: A Review (2014, background): “, [48–52]) or focus on the best practice within one of these stages by exploring dynamics of the invasive species and its interaction with resident species (e.”
Benefits of invasion prevention: Effect of time lags, spread rates, and damage persistence (2015, background): “Bioeconomic studies have considered optimal prevention investments for reducing impacts from invasive species (e.g., Olson and Roy, 2005; Carrasco et al., 2010; Kim et al., 2006; Finnoff et al., 2007; Leung et al., 2002; Rout et al., 2011).”
Reducing the Risks of Herbicide Resistance: Best Management Practices and Recommendations (2012, background): “With invasive plant populations, Finnoff et al. (2007) demonstrated quantitatively how managers who are cautious or financially risk averse are less likely to adopt preventive measures because prevention only reduces the risk, rather than eliminating it.”
The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “Ecologists and economists have begun to formally address the costs of introduced species (Leung et al. 2005; Finnoff et al. 2007) and to develop better recommendations for invasive species management (Buhle et al.”
Non-physical barriers to deter fish movements (2012, background): “Precautionary actions geared towards preventing the establishment of non-native species have been suggested as a more cost-effective approach in the long term (Lodge et al. 2006; Finnoff et al. 2007).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “(168) investigate the relationship between risk preferences of firm managers and relative investments in prevention and control.”
Origin matters: alien consumers inflict greater damage on prey populations than do native consumers (2013, background): “nomic value of pre-border screening programmes designed to prevent introduction of alien species (e.g. Leung et al., 2002; Finnoff et al., 2007).”
Economics of invasive species policy and management (2017, background): “This could happen because prevention appears more risky as it targets an uncertain invasion possibility, whereas control addresses a known problem (Finnoff et al. 2007).”
