By: Seed Daily, WICZ, Panhandle News Channel Nebraska, Street Insider, Betsol, Next Wave Group, One News Page, Business Class News, Manhattan Week, Sangri Times, News Blaze, Latin Trade, Tech Social Net, & Benzinga - July 7, 2022
In the 2022 AAEA Annual Meeting session "Economics of wildfire" authors discuss how the United States and Australia have both seen increasing impacts from wildfire in recent years. In 2021, California faced its largest single wildfire in recorded history, while Australia's
wildfire season in 2019-2020 (known as the "Black Summer") made news
around the world for its widespread impacts. Fire policy makers and
managers face a wealth of complex decision problems, including long-term
stategic decisions about mitigating risk and short-term within-fire
tactical decisions.
