Nutrient shadow prices are computed as share-weighted consumption-expense ratios and provide nutrient consumption costs in terms of Ksh/g. Sample data spans February 2013–July 2016. Nutrient Shadow prices are deflated using the February 2013 Kenya CPI. Livestock illness village averages are computed for each time period and averaged over the sampling period, representing the average number of ill livestock per household across all villages.
