Literature review worklog VI: The usual suspects

I decided to summarize the problems/challenges that researchers in the biosecurity economics facing into these three:

(1) There has been little systematic economic analysis (Perrings, Dalmazzone et al. 2000).

(2) Most studies focus on direct and/or market impacts and fail to quantify indirect and non-market impacts (Born, Rauschmayer et al. 2005) (Binimelis, Born et al. 2007).

(3) Existing research efforts concentrate on ex-post assessment and neglect ex-ante considerations (Born, Rauschmayer et al. 2005).

Usual suspects for those who are familiar with the environmental accounting business in general, really. But I think at least the uncertainty issue is more severe when estimating impacts of invasive species. I will have to write a separate blog to elaborate the thesis sometime.
