Spatial Harvesting Model Simulations for Bat Meat Markets in Sulawesi

Replication data reproduces all figures from a published paper on conservation and rural revenues. The package contains results from numerical simulation of a spatial harvesting model, calibrated to a stylized Sulawesi bat-meat setting. Jennifer Rushlow authored this replication package for the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Replicate published figures based on the described simulation model
• Compare economic outcomes across three market-structure cases mentioned in the description
• Analyze the impact of transportation intermediaries on resource markets using simulated data
• Calibrate similar spatial harvesting models using the provided parameter framework

Strengths

• Reproduces all figures from the associated paper
• Includes simulations for three distinct market-structure cases: no intermediaries, competitive intermediaries, and a monopsonist intermediary
• Uses a single driver script to reproduce main-text and appendix figures

Limitations

• Data is simulated, not empirical, which may limit real-world applicability
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
