Are German farmers ready for a ‘warm restructuring’ of the pig sector?
通过346位德国养猪户的离散选择实验，研究他们参与类似荷兰‘温暖重组’的退出计划的意愿，发现农户对政府主导的退出计划兴趣浓厚，但对补偿、拆除要求等属性看法不一。
Recent statutory changes have increased the pressure on the German livestock sector to adapt. This paper aims to ascertain the factors affecting German pig farmers' willingness to join a pig farming exit scheme similar to the Dutch ‘warm restructuring’ programme. The analysis is based on a discrete choice experiment with 346 pig farmers. The results indicate great interest of the respondents in a government-run decommissioning scheme. Differences in the perception of scheme attributes (compensation offered, demolition requirements, restrictions on future barn construction and slurry intake) are highlighted by the results of a latent-class estimation.
