Add to ORKGWildfire risk mitigation through ex ante vegetation management is receiving more attention in the United States after a strong emphasis on suppression for a hundred years. This paper presents a dynamic economic model with three sets of input choice variables: the timing of pre-harvest vegetation management interventions, harvest date, and expected suppression effort in a context where pre-harvest vegetation management reduces the risk of wildfire. The model is applied to three important policy issues: 1) a general characterization of the relationship between ex ante risk mitigation via vegetation management and wildfire suppression that can be applied to a broad range of specific settings; 2) the consequences of high potential damage from f...
