The Exotic Pet Trade

The economic principle (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. I will explore is “Institutions are the ‘rules of the game’ that influence choices.”
Overall Research Question: How does the varying legality of exotic pet ownership around the world influence the exotic pet trade?
3-4 subquestions that will help me answer my overall research question are:
    • Has making the exotic pet trade entirely illegal (in the US) actually damaged the market? Or has it only strengthened its appeal to buyers?
    • What sort of countries/cultures are more likely to be interested in the exotic pet trade? Which ones are more averse to the idea?
    •  How has the increasing awareness of environmental issues affected the trade over the years? Has the environmental movement shrank it?
