• Innovations in Climate Risk Management: Protecting and Building Rural Livelihoods in a Variable and Changing Climate (2007, unknown): “The first role, “productive safety nets” (Barrett et al., 2007a), involves safeguarding productive assets to prevent the non-poor (point A) from falling below poverty trap threshold (point 1) in a shock.”
• Designing Index Based Livestock Insurance for Managing Asset Risk in Northern Kenya (2013, unknown): “We also employ household-level panel data collected quarterly by the USAID Global Livestock Collaborative Research Support Program Pastoral Risk Management (PARIMA) project (Barrett et al. 2008) to analyze and simulate the IBLI contract’s performance out of sample.”
