The distributional incidence of wildfire hazard in the western United States
Environmental Research Letters, 2022 Increases in wildfire activity in the western United States in recent years have led to significant property loss in wildland-urban interface areas, raising difficult questions for policymakers regarding mitigation of wildfire damages and how mitigation ...

Is There a Link Between Actual and Perceived Wildfire Danger? [PDF]
Over the last 20 years, costs for wildfire initial attack in the U.S. have increased significantly. The increased cost relates to wildfire suppression practices as well as the growing number of wildland urban interface (WUI) homes.

An Econometric Model of Wildfire Suppression Productivity [PDF]
We estimate a model of suppression productivity for individual fires, where suppression productivity is measured in terms of the reduction in the estimated market value of wildfire losses. Estimation results show that at the margin, every dollar increase
