• What’s Driving Food Prices in 2011? (2011, background): “Both Abbott, Hurt and Tyner (2008) and Headey and Fan (2010) argue that trade policies leading to self-sufficiency means the importance of these effects on Chinese and Indian domestic markets has had limited spillover onto international markets.”
• Explaining the African food riots of 2007–2008: An empirical analysis (2013, background): “The multiplicity of causes of the 2007–2008 food price increases, and the relative contribution of each cause to food price outcomes, have been widely discussed by researchers and policy analysts (for example, Headey and Fan, 2008, 2010; Trostle, 0306-9192/$ - see front matter !”
• Biofuel-related price transmission literature: A review (2013, background): “Abbott (2012) and Headey and Fan (2010) criticize time-series analyses for being rather inconclusive regarding the influence of biofuels on commodity prices and for failing to provide substantial economic insight into price behavior patterns.”
• Farm-Level Pathways to Improved Nutritional Status: Introduction to the Special Issue (2015, background): “This emphasis has been particularly common in recent years as a result of volatile and rising global food prices, which have been associated with increased hunger among poor households that rely heavily on purchasing food to obtain calories and nutrients (Headey & Fan, 2010).”
• The Economy-wide Impacts and Risks of Malawi's Farm Input Subsidy Program (2014, unknown): “This spillover from maize to other crops causes the crop diversification index to rise, which is consistent with the findings of Holden and Lunduka (2010). Taking into account this land reallocation, FISP’s net effect is an increase in maize production of 307,300 tonnes.”
• The Impact of the Global Food Crisis on Self-Assessed Food Security (2013, background): “Indeed, predictions of higher food prices and continued price volatility in the next decade or beyond (Headey and Fan 2010) would seem to justify greater investment and experimentation in food security measurement in the near future.”
• Agricultural labour productivity, food prices and sustainable development impacts and indicators (2013, background): “We identify 4 broad criteria 0 For example de Schutter (2011), Foresight (2011), Headey and Fan (2010), IAASTD 009) and World Bank (2009, 2012b) make no mention of the importance of gricultural labour productivity, and Conforti (2011) includes some discussion of its volution (Schmidhuber et al.,…”
• Gendered impacts of the 2007–2008 food price crisis: Evidence using panel data from rural Ethiopia (2013, background): “…This paper is among the first to provide empirical evidence on the gendered impact of the food price crisis using panel data on 1,400 households from rural Ethiopia that were initially surveyed before 1 Headey and Fan (2010) critique both the FAO (2008) and Ivanic and Martin (2008) estimates.”
• Estimating the Short-Run Poverty Impacts of the 2010-11 Surge in Food Prices (2011, background): “Like Headey and Fan (2010) we are conscious that energy prices also rose sharply over this period, as in 2007–8, and that these price increases contributed to the changes in food prices both through supply-side and demand-side effects (e.g. the increased incentive to use food to produce biofuels).”
• Safeguarding food security in volatile global markets. (2011, background): “The ongoing Doha Round negotiations have tried to address some of these problems within 2 See Johnson (1973), Hathaway (1997), Josling et al.”
