A choice experiment approach 2016-07-07 .txt text/plain 7994 399 49 In this study, we undertook a farm survey in Finland employing a choice experiment to study the willingness to pay for animal disease insurance products. The above topics were studied through a choice experiment, where Finnish pig and poultry producers indicated their willingness to buy different kinds of insurance products. A questionnaire was sent to all commercial pig and poultry producers in Finland, enquiring for instance their disease history (information on previous disease outbreaks at the farm), current insurance cover (all types of insurance) and the biosecurity measures used on their farm. More specifically, the questionnaire included a list of 24 different biosecurity measures, such as whether the production facilities are compartmentalised, whether the farm employs all-in-all-outprinciple, whether there is protective clothing available for visitors, whether the producers participate in disease-related training and so on. The negative and highly significant coefficients of compensated damages suggest that regardless of the attribute levels, many respondents preferred to choose the no buy option, i.e. not to purchase insurance. ./cache/cord-021259-spteznv7.txt ./txt/cord-021259-spteznv7.txt
