Behavioral externalities in natural resource production possibility frontiers: integrating biology and economics to model human-wildlife interactions

Article Abstract:

Production possibility frontier models are described to verify the effect of behavioral externalities on the natural resource management. It is found out that if the production possibility frontier models provide an accurate representation of the relationships between the two outputs, the natural resource managers could benefit from human-wildlife interactions.
