Abstract

Mad cow disease was first discovered in Europe, followed by Japan, and more recently in North America. The disease has distressed the cattle industry in Europe, Japan and Canada but not so much in the United States. At present, the U.S. does relatively little searching for mad cows and any decision to increase testing presents an interesting tradeoff.
