Compensation from wildlife damage.
We are estimating the level of moral hazard, if any, is induced by state-level compensation for wildlife damage in India.
Species level data for effective economic evaluation.
We are surveying and evaluating species level population estimates, and their proxies for their suitability of use in standard economic analyses.
The cost of living in proximity to wildlife.
We are building an estimate for the cost borne by farmers living near wildlife reserves in India. Besides costs of animal raiding, this estimate also includes the indirect costs from crop and livestock adjustments in response to wildlife conflict.
