Economic Assessment of FMDv Releases from the National Bio and Agro Defense Facility 2015-06-26 .txt text/plain 8168 409 48 This study evaluates the economic consequences of hypothetical foot-and-mouth disease releases from the future National Bio and Agro Defense Facility in Manhattan, Kansas. To assess the economic impacts of unintentional FMDv releases from NBAF, we follow [4, 7, [21] [22] to link supply shocks from an animal disease spread model with a multi-commodity, multi-market partial equilibrium model. To determine the total economic impact for a scenario, the changes in producer returns to capital and management and consumer welfare, government indemnification and non-indemnification expenditures, and the costs to the non-agricultural regional sector were summed together. Because the duration of the FMD outbreaks and number of animals culled and vaccinated are similar to the aerosol scenarios, the total economic impacts of the transference release scenarios are similar to impacts of an aerosol release, including the distribution of impacts by production types across time. ./cache/cord-318845-w7q5o8wc.txt ./txt/cord-318845-w7q5o8wc.txt
