Animal Health Economics Working Group
Human behavior and trade affect health risk and disease spread within and across populations worldwide. The purpose of the Animal Health Economics Working Group is to provide a forum to facilitate interaction and information about the economics of animal health among interested parties. The intent is to provide a sustainable platform and/or clearing house over time for idea exchange and policy solutions. Interactions and information swapping could include posting papers, data, computer code, and providing a venue for a discussion forum.
Future activities could include targeted conferences and/or policy responses to critical problems. Please send suggestions to Dr. Thomas L. Marsh (tl_marsh@wsu.edu).
