Agricultural Subsidies

Submitted by Tanay Ray Bhatt on
EfD Authors:

(i) Structural transformation by which shares of agriculture in income and employment decline is the outcome of a development process that raises incomes and living standards.

(ii) However, the process is uneven as a result of which the decline in agriculture’s income share is faster than its decline in employment share. This results in a substantial disparity in worker productivity across sectors.

Consumers are willing to pay more for HAB-free mussels

Submitted by Meseret Birhan… on

Key Messages
●    Consumers may avoid consuming mussels if they perceive a high risk of HAB contamination, even under government monitoring.
●    HABs have significant welfare losses for consumers, but policies to ensure food safety in seafood markets can improve social welfare.
●    Perceptions about HABs and mussel attributes play a role in explaining consumer preferences, but the link varies across contexts.
