Resilience being rapidly growing research agenda, indicators, measurement, unit and level of analysis as well as the type data to be used are debatable.

For example , some propose the use of PCA to construct composite index then apply various models depending on the nature of the outcome variable while few others criticize on the application of composite index due to the aggregation problem. Therefore, I am working on the two approaches but looking for scholarly feedback as to which approach is more apt for survey data collected from small and micro holders farmers in Southern Ethiopia?
