| Popis: | A framework for integrating biological and economic considerations into long-run Striga management decisions is developed. At the center of this approach is a dynamic optimization model comprised of two components: a biological component modeling Striga population dynamics, and an economic component representing the production opportunity set, resource constraints, and price parameters farmers face. The model's potential to inform economic and policy decisions related to Striga control at household and regional levels is discussed. |
