Labor economics

Hiring away a rival's trained workers

In labor economics, poaching is one firm hiring away workers that another firm recruited or trained, so the second firm captures the return on the first firm's investment. Combes and Duranton model how this risk shapes where firms locate: clustering gives access to a shared labor pool but also exposes a firm to having its trained staff poached by nearby competitors. The referent is inter-firm worker movement treated as an externality on hiring and training, tracked through turnover and wage dynamics.[1]

Unit
The rate at which trained workers are hired away by competing firms
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Inferred from job-to-job flows, turnover of trained staff, and the wage premiums used to retain or attract them

Conservation biology

Illegally taking wild animals

In conservation, poaching is the illegal killing or capture of wild animals: hunting protected species, exceeding limits, or taking game out of season or without rights. Because it is clandestine, researchers must estimate its scale indirectly; Gavin, Solomon, and Blank review methods for measuring and monitoring such illegal use of natural resources. The referent is unlawful offtake of wildlife, measured as an often-hidden rate of illegal harvest.[2]

Unit
The amount of wildlife taken illegally over an area and time
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Estimated via law-enforcement records, indirect indicators, self-reports, and population-decline modeling
