Past, Present, and Future
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 January 2024
In Chapter 8, we reprise the economic concepts examined in the preceding chapters and introduce four emerging dogonomic topics. We showed how neoclassic economics is central to understanding both supply and demand for dogs, and behavioral economics also helps understand demand. We also posit four important emerging topics. First, we consider the evolution of the property rights of dogs and of property rights with respect to dogs. Second, we explain how we expect these property rights changes to affect policies relevant to the welfare of dogs. Third, we discuss the emergence of interest group politics around dogs. Fourth, we review the emergence of canine genetic sequencing and of phenotypic behavior to lead to further boutique selection, a step beyond artificial selection, and the likely impact of cloning.
