This article reviews a computer-aided personal interviewing (CAPI) methodology adopted for the fourth wave of a panel survey administered in a remote region of the Brazilian Amazon in 2009. Ruggedized touch-screen laptops were used to address challenges associated with survey administration in this setting as well as limitations associated with the PAPI method. The authors discuss hardware and software considerations, methodological innovations, and tests for mode effects on missing item response rates and enumerator learning effects.}, number={1}, journal={Field Methods}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Caviglia-Harris, J. and Hall, S. and Mulllan, K. and Macintyre, C. and Bauch, S.

Academic and policy debate has primarily focused on discrimination against rural migrants on arrival in urban areas. Meanwhile, barriers to migration out of rural areas have received less attention. This paper examines the role of incomplete rural property rights in the migration decisions of rural households. We examine the relationship between tenure insecurity and restrictions on land rentals, and participation in outside labor markets. The results indicate that tenure insecurity reduces migration. This relationship is particularly pronounced on forest land, which has implications for the conservation of recently replanted forest areas.}, number={1}, journal={WORLD DEVELOPMENT}, author={Mullan, Katrina and Grosjean, Pauline and Kontoleon, Andreas}, year={2011}, month={Jan}, pages={123–133} } @article{mullan_kontoleon_swanson_zhang_2011, title={When should households be compensated for land-use restrictions? A decision-making framework for Chinese forest policy}, volume={28}, ISSN={["1873-5754"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.landusepol.2010.08.003}, abstractNote={Competing uses of land mean that regulations aimed at environmental conservation often conflict with the land-use rights of rural households. Several reports suggest that this has occurred with the introduction of the Natural Forest Protection Programme (NFPP) in China, one of the world's largest logging ban programmes. This paper investigates whether households should be compensated for infringements on property rights, drawing on institutional economics literature on regulation. We distinguish between cases where regulation solves local collective action problems and increases the welfare of those affected, and those where regulation involves a redistribution of rights from one group to another. We apply this to the NFPP by estimating the net welfare impacts, using household level stated preference data with econometric techniques that explicitly account for zero and negative values of the dependent variable. We find that the ban on logging does not affect the net welfare of the affected forest communities. This indicates that the losses resulting from the restrictions on property rights are offset by the benefits from restrictions on other local households. We also find evidence that a partial reduction in logging would be welfare increasing, indicating that the NFPP is to some extent addressing local collective action problems in forest areas. Broader implications for the question of compensating for infringement of property rights as the result of regulatory interventions in contexts of institutional imperfections are also drawn.}, number={2}, journal={LAND USE POLICY}, author={Mullan, Katrina and Kontoleon, Andreas and Swanson, Tim and Zhang, Shiqiu}, year={2011}, month={Apr}, pages={402–412} }
