Stochastic Wealth Dynamics and Risk Management Among a Poor Population (2004, background): “Nonetheless, since cattle account for well in excess of 90% of wealth among the Boran (Assefa, 1990; Cossins and Upton, 1987; Desta, 1999; Desta and Coppock, 2002) and marketing is so modest, mortality and herd dynamics provide a reasonably proxy for wealth dynamics and pastoral risk among the…”

Pastoralism Under Pressure: Tracking System Change in Southern Ethiopia (2004, background): “In the context of follow-up work among the Ethiopian Boran focused on cattle herd dynamics and asset diversification (Desta, 1999; Desta and Coppock, 2002), we decided to devote effort to track some empirical features and pastoral perceptions of system change and examine predictions loosely based on”
