Delaying the Inevitable? U.S. Screwworm Closures and Feeder Cattle Market Dynamics
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biosecurity trade restrictions are commonly framed as preventive measures, yet in many settings they function primarily as policies of delay: they impose immediate market costs while only postponing the arrival of biological risks. This paper evaluates that intertemporal tradeoff using the 2024–2025 US suspension of live cattle imports from ...
