Most analytic tools used in assessing gains from investments in agricultural research either fail to take into consideration environmental impacts or, if they do, it is at a very limited level. The CGIAR Research Programs adopt a systems approach and require a fully integrated consideration of bi...

A whole farm simulation approach was used to assess the economic impacts of five alternative strategies for controlling East Coast fever (ECF), a cattle disease, on farms from two sites in Kenya. The strategies were also ranked using the stochastic dominance criterion to determine the most prefer...
