Abstract：
Policy measures aimed at containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic had unintended consequences on economic activities globally. In this study, we isolate and investigate the short-term partial impacts of six such measures on the farm and nonfarm incomes of agricultural households and examine the related resilience factors. Using Nigeria as a case study, we find that the COVID containment measures had mixed effects on farm and non-farm incomes in the short run. These varying effects are due to households\' resilience and vulnerability factors, including land size, wealth, income diversification, involvement in processing activities, and reliance on hired labor. Our findings highlight the need for more targeted health crisis containment measures which consider the uniqueness, diversity, and regional heterogeneity of agriculture, especially the potential implications for farm viability.
摘要：
旨在遏制COVID-19大流行蔓延的政策措施对全球经济活动产生了意想不到的后果。在这项研究中,我们分离并调查了六项此类措施对农业家庭的农场和非农业收入的短期部分影响，并检查了相关的弹性因素。以尼日利亚为例，我们发现，在短期内，COVID控制措施对农场和非农场收入的影响是混合的。这些不同的影响是由于家庭的复原力和脆弱性因素，包括土地面积，财富,收入多样化，参与加工活动，依赖雇佣劳动力。我们的发现强调了更有针对性的健康危机控制措施的必要性，这些措施考虑了独特性，多样性,和农业的区域异质性，尤其是对农场生存能力的潜在影响。
