Social determinants of soil and water conservation in rural Kenya (2008, background): “In another context social capital serves to mitigate effects of individual-specific economic shocks faced by poor households (Carter & Maluccio, 2003; Fafchamps & Lund, 2003 ).”
Resilience of local food systems and links to food security – A review of some important concepts in the context of COVID-19 and other shocks (2020, background): “…there does not seem to be any ‘unique’ or ‘perfect’ combination, the current evidence suggests that for farmers, financial/assets and to a lower extent social capitals are key in this resilience process (e.g. Fafchamps and Lund 2003; Carter and Barrett 2006; Aldrich 2010; Woodson et al. 2016).”

Consumption versus asset smoothing: testing the implications of poverty trap theory in Burkina Faso (2012, background): “…In addition to an outpouring of work on the effectiveness of informal risksharing mechanisms (Besley 1995, Fafchamps and Gubert 2007, Fafchamps and Lund 2003), these observations led to efforts to understand the capacity of financial market-constrained households to autarchically…”
Household-Level Consumption in Urban Ethiopia: The Effects of a Large Food Price Shock (2012, background): “There is some evidence that households in developing countries attempt to share risk, see e.g. Coate and Ravallion, (1993) and Fafchamps and Lund (2003).”
Matching and network effects (2010, neutral): “Informal institutions have been empirically studied extensively in economics and other subjects; see e.g., Granovetter (1985), Greif (2001), Munshi (2003), Munshi and Rosenzweig (2006), North (2001), Fafchamps and Lund (2003) and Fafchamps (2004).”
Who Cares about Relative Deprivation (2005, neutral): “…literature assessing the safety-net role of private transfers and other forms of support in poor countries; see, for example, Ravallion and Dearden (1988), Coate and Ravallion (1993), Murgai et al.

Changes in Social Network Structure in Response to Exposure to Formal Credit Markets (2021, positive): “Feigenberg et al. (2013) find that participation in microcredit creates tighter social relationships among group members. Binzel, Field, and Pande (2013) and Comola and Prina (2014) explore whether and in what ways financial interventions also end up a ecting those households’ networks.”
