We have a new paper out in Ecological Economics in which we examined the potential success of coordination for biological control among farmers from a real landscape (from the North of Brittany - with hedgerows and everything - for the ones who know). #NoPesticides (1/5)
I am personally a bit happier than usual for a publication because this is my first 100% interdisciplinary paper : Claudine is landscape agronomist, Hugues is from computer science and, well, economics here. (2/5)
This was also the first paper I started during my PhD thesis. And the last one I finished... (3/5)
Yep, interdisciplinary takes time (I can't remember the number of time I had to explain the principle of the Nash equilibrium) but the experience totally worths it. I have learned a lot with Hugues and Claudine. Thanks! (4/5)
And if you wonder what are the results, here is the link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
#Spoiler: there is only a small probability that the grand coalition can be stable (cause: heterogeneity of the farmers). Coordination for biological control is unlikely in real world. (5/5)

(Or, at least, not in large groups of farmers #StayTuned)
