Economic resilience: definition and measurement (2014, background): “…on the most affected, such as stunting for children (if food intake has to be reduced), loss of education (if children are taken out of school), and the possibility of household-level poverty traps due more generally to lack of assets (Carter and Barrett, 2006; Carter et al., 2007; Dercon, 2004).”

Innovations in Climate Risk Management: Protecting and Building Rural Livelihoods in a Variable and Changing Climate (2007, background): “Poor countries and the relatively poor within countries are disproportionately impacted by climate-related disasters (Carter et al., 2007; Easterly, 2001; Gaiha and Thapa, 2006).”
Weather Index Insurance for Agriculture and Rural Areas in Lower-Income Countries (2007, background): “Households that are thrust into poverty by such shocks often find it difficult to recover and restart the long process of accumulating productive assets (Carter et al. 2007).”
