Estimating population dynamics without population data [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2013
Abstract We develop a biologically correct cost system for production systems facing invasive pests that allows the estimation of population dynamics without a priori knowledge of their true values. We apply that model to a data set for olive producers in Crete and derive from it predictions about the underlying population dynamics.
