Farm Households' Preferences for Cash-based Compensation versus Livelihood-enhancing Programmes: A Choice Experiment to Inform Avian Flu (HPAI H5N1) Compensation Policy in Nigeria
In this paper, we attempt to bridge the resilience school of thought and incentive compatibility in livestock disease-control policies through a choice experiment study designed to estimate households' preferences for various compensation plan attributes. We define compensation plan broadly to...
