Abstract: 

This paper deals with bio-economic modelling of potentially degraded range land in Namibia. It outlines the methodological background, presents a modelling approach in GAMS and offers first results. We show how bush encroachment can be modelled and how various factors, like interest rates and costs of combating bushes, impact on farm behaviour and the environment. In particular the prevalence of bush and range quality decline are a focus of the paper.
