, See Tisdell (2014) for a complete study of this topic, and especially chapter 16

, It remains contentious whether or not feral animals should be considered as wild, even though some of them are hunted

, As some modern hunters or (no kill) fishers do; see also wild plants gathered for gardening, wild animals caught in the wild and kept in zoo

, Ricardo"s theorem also includes a condition on the level of the international relative price of exchanged goods in order to ensure the existence of mutual welfare gains

, These 61 cases of the commercial production and trade of (different) non-timber forest products from Asia, Africa, and Latin America-encompass different strategies adopted by forest peoples such as the four cases we have defined but also some cases of forest peoples who do not forage

. Cooper, Note 8. Even though the Pleistocene overkill hypothesis has been recently discredited and replaced by explanations based on the influences of climate change, 2015.

, Note 10. E.g., wild cereals, anadromous fish, shellfish, sea mammals (?)

, As pointed out by what economists call the "transaction costs approach

, Otherwise we may also assume that the total population is divided in two separate groups, foragers and farmers, and that the relative weight of both groups is evolving over time

, bushmeat (provided by hunting game) and meat of reared animals are very close substitutes. Cereals, harvested from the wild or cultivated, can also be considered as close substitutes

, when farmers produce any edible plants (crop) and that foragers extract non edible wild resources used as raw materials (bamboos, rattan

, Goods can also be described as close but imperfect substitutes

, The Social embeddedness position is associated with the "substantivist school" in anthropology, 1944.

, Journal of Economics and Public Finance, vol.2, issue.1, 2016.

, One may even say that there is an analogy between sharing and macroeconomic analysis

, at the macroeconomic level) between the demand and the supply through the income distribution. In the typical foraging economy, such link also exists. The wild resources that are shared are considered by those who forage as an implicit tax, and as a subsidy by those who receive these resources
