Vulnerability of Nigerian maize traders to a confluence of climate, violence, disease and cost shocks by Vargas, Carolina M., Liverpool-Tasie, Lenis Saweda O., Reardon, Thomas

“…Design/methodology/approach Using primary survey data on 1,100 Nigerian maize traders for 2021 (controlling for shocks in 2017), we use probit models to estimate the probabilities of experiencing climate, violence, disease and cost shocks associated with trader characteristics (gender, size and region) and to estimate the probability of vulnerability (experiencing severe impacts). …”
