Prescribed Fire in a Florida Landscape with Mixed Ownership: Spatial Interactions
… across a landscape and ownership boundaries, the spatial pattern of fuel load reduction may influence individual landowners' decisions about fire risk management on their own property. We develop and empirically test a spatial econometric model to study the interaction between Florida landowners …
