[APWG] Cost-benefit analysis for alien invasives control

[Dennis C. During]

Thanks for the link.

 

The linked article is concerned with invasives generally, not just alien
invasives.  I'm trying to locate something that teases out the economic
impact of the alien portion of invasives.  I would then like to find out a
bit more about feasible control programs.  I would probably be happiest with
one good economic analysis of an effort to control ONE alien invasive
species (or ecological complex), especially one that did NOT have a strong
adverse effect on agriculture.

Can anyone point me in the direction of studies that attempt to quantify the
short- and long-term economic benefit of feasible programs for controlling
alien invasive species ?
