Abstract
summary Responses to Risk – The Role of Policy and Compensation Schemes Livestock diseases can spread quickly and cause very high losses, which has prompted public policy response, including the use of compensation. There is no generic and optimal system of compensation, but the scope and modalities of these policies and the implications for public expenditure and private incentives deserve public, economic and scientific scrutiny. The rationale for government intervention is to internalise the externalities of prevention and control activities. But ‘more is not always better’ and the types of measures employed and the total cost, matter. This article provides some insights from five countries based on a recent OECD report. Compensation schemes can be purely public, such as in Canada, or based on a private–public scheme with some formal representation of the industry to facilitate the engagement of the sector. The costs covered by the compensation schemes included the full market value of destroyed animals in most countries. Cost‐sharing arrangements are an important component of compensation schemes in Australia, Germany and the Netherlands. Expenditure on compensation can be extremely onerous and needs to be disciplined, while at the same time, engaging stakeholders. International comparisons of experiences and knowledge about the costs and benefits of past outbreaks can be very helpful in designing more efficient policy responses.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
