One of the constraints to expansion is the production and trade effects of diseases endemic to Thailand. The economic effects of livestock diseases and their control are reviewed. A change in the disease-free status of the Thailand livestock sector is investigated using a computable general equilibrium model. Three scenarios are hypothesised. In the first scenario, where disease control increases livestock production, resources shift out of manufacturing and into the agriculture and tertiary sectors leading to a decline in GDP and household welfare. In the second scenario, where control increases livestock exports, exports increase for all sectors and resources shift out of the agriculture and tertiary sectors and into manufacturing leading to an increase in GDP and household welfare. In the third scenario, where disease control increases livestock production productivity, there is a resultant decline in livestock output and exports as factor input prices rise. The flow-ons to the rest of the economy are negligible. The results show that disease control programs in the Thai livestock sector would not produce major benefits to the economy unless they were undertaken with a concurrent elimination of export restrictions. 000164581 650__ $$aHealth Economics and Policy 000164581 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000164581 6531_ $$aAnimal health 000164581 6531_ $$aThailand 000164581 6531_ $$alivestock disease control 000164581 700__ $$aPurcell, Tim 000164581 700__ $$aKarunaratne, Neil 000164581 700__ $$aTisdell, Clem 000164581 8564_ $$907e4ba7b-5822-4d4e-9776-cdcccfbae964$$s11116324$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/164581/files/WP30.pdf 000164581 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/164581 000164581 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:164581$$pGLOBAL_SET 000164581 912__ $$nSubmitted by Clem Tisdell (c.tisdell@economics.uq.edu.au) on 2014-03-04T01:24:17Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WP30.pdf: 11116324 bytes, checksum: 53b1aec7be341de2409fe91fa175d141 (MD5) 000164581 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-03-04T01:24:17Z (GMT).
