      abstract = {This paper investigates the relationships among land-use  change, biological invasion, and interspecific competition  in a tropical ecosystem by linking a behavioral model of  land conversion by agriculture and an ecological model of  interspecific competition between a native species and an  exotic invader.  The model is used to examine how relative  farm prices and access to forest areas influence land  clearing and thus the ability of the invasive species to  eliminate the native species.  Simulations show that only a  20% rise in relative prices and a 2.75% increase in forest  access are necessary for this outcome to occur.},
