This report summarizes the methodologies, results and empirical insights of research on nonindigenous species (NIS) introduction risk. This research on trade-related NIS introductions highlights the welfare and biological implications of both broad policy instruments (such as tariffs) and differentiated policy instruments (such as inspections), and the challenge of empirically supporting the latter.
Disclaimer: This study was conducted at University of California-Santa Barbara under research grant 43-3AEM-3-80109 with the Economic Research Service. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of ERS or USDA.
