      abstract = {We use two methodological approaches to analyze avian  influenza related
quarantine measures. First, a Heckman  type gravity model is used to estimate
the trade impact and  second, a spatial partial equilibrium simulation model  is
developed to simulate welfare changes. The simulation  model considers spread
and transmission risk according to  the disease status of the importing country
as well as  parameter uncertainty of the calibrated coefficients by  using a Monte
Carlo approach. The econometric results show  that the principle of regionalization
is preferred to  import trade bans for uncooked meat. The simulation  results
verify the negative welfare impact of currently  implemented regulatory
policies and indicate that  significant trade diversion effects according to  the
disease status of countries occur. The welfare results  confirm that a trade ban
is not the most appropriate  measure to address the infection risk resulting from
the  spread of the avian influenza virus.},
