- How Do Different Indicators of Household Food Security Compare? Empirical Evidence from Tigray (2013, background): “Given the propensity of people closer to the edge of poverty to spend a greater and greater proportion of their income on food, estimating the proportion of expenditure on food has become an important measure (Smith et al. 2006).”
- Analyzing Nutritional Impacts of Policies: An Empirical Study for Malawi (2011, methodology): “It should be mentioned that the use of representative household survey data is already a notable improvement over much cruder methods that are often used for assessing the prevalence of undernutrition in developing countries (Smith, Alderman, and Aduayom 2006).”
- Rising Food Prices and Undernourishment - A Cross-Country Inquiry (2013, background): “It is beyond the scope of this paper to explain these in detail, but we refer the reader to Smith and Subandoro (2007), which constitutes an excellent handbook on how to use household surveys to obtain food security indicators; Sibrián et al.”
- Africa human development report 2012: towards a food secure future (2012, background): “…and Gennari (2011), Committee on Food Security for All as a Sustainability Challenge and National Research Council of the National Academies (2011), Deitchler and others (2011), Kennedy (2002), Sibrian, Naiken, and Mernies (2007), Smith, Alderman, and Aduayom (2006) and Svedberg (2000, 2002).”
- Determinants of Dietary Quality: Evidence from Bangladesh (2011, background): “Following Smith (2004b), utility functions may be specified as”
- What do we really know? Metrics for food insecurity and undernutrition (2011, methodology): “1 Contradicting evidence Using the example of 12 Sub-Saharan African countries, we already showed that the FAO approach can lead to estimates of undernourishment that may be quite different from those derived from household consumption surveys (Smith et al., 2006).”
- Feeding the poor: Contribution of West African fisheries to employment and food security (2015, background): “…(Pinstrup-Andersen, 2009) and thus employment, if the assumption can be made that a reasonable share of the household income is devoted to food, which is often the case in the developing world, e.g., West Africa (Hupp e et al., 2013; Maman Bachir and Ould Hamadi Cherif, 2013; Smith et al., 2006).”
- Impact of off-farm income on food security and nutrition in Nigeria (2010, result): “Nonetheless, our results fit fairly well into the range of recent estimates for African countries based on representative household expenditure surveys (Smith et al., 2006).”
- Validation of the world food programme's food consumption score and alternative indicators of household food security (2009, unknown): “In addition, local units used by respondents for measuring quantities (like bowls or calabashes) often vary from one household to the next, but usually, uniform factors are used for conversion to metric quantities.”
