Selecting Optimal Prices and Outpost Locations for Rural Vaccination Campaigns
Kim, Dohyeong; Lauria, Donald T.; Whittington, Dale - In: International Regional Science Review 37 (2014) 4, pp. 436-458
A contingent valuation survey (willingness-to-pay study) was conducted in 2004 to measure household demand for typhoid vaccines in a rural township in China with approximately 54,000 people living in 141 villages. The results showed that travel distance to vaccination sites and vaccination price...
