Does food aid Really have disincentive effects? New evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2005, background): “Dercon and Krishnan (2000) provide further survey details and Bevan and Pankhurst (1996) provide ethnographies for each of the surveyed villages.”
Gender, Time Use, and Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (2006, background): “Dercon and Krishnan (2000) use data from rural Ethiopia to show high levels of seasonal and year-toyear variability in consumption and poverty, with households also responding to changes in labor demand and prices.”
Factors influencing household food security among smallholder farmers in the Mudzi district of Zimbabwe (2014, background): “…determinants of food security, factors closely related to human resource development, such as education, healthcare, clean water, population growth, urbanisation and the displacement of people, also have a significant influence on food security (Dercon & Krishnan, 2000; Dercon & Hoddinott, 2003).”
The dynamics of livelihood diversification in post-famine Ethiopia (2001, positive): “…the volatility of wholesale cereal prices); b) currency devaluation; c) land reform and redistribution; d) a period of greater donor support (including the initiation in 1992 of Title III food aid pro- 1 For details see Webb and von Braun (1994), Seyoum et al. (1995) and Dercon and Krishnan (2000).”
Assessing household vulnerability to climate change: The case of farmers in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2009, background): “Attempts have been made to analyze the vulnerability of Ethiopian farmers to climatic and nonclimatic shocks in studies using panel datasets (Dercon 2004; Dercon et al. 2005; Skoufias and Quisumbing 2003; Dercon and Krishnan 2000), and policy options have been suggested to reduce vulnerability.”
Toward an understanding of household vulnerability in rural Kenya (2004, background): “The paper begins with a discussion of the concept of vulnerability and proceeds by laying out the empirical strategy to measure and analyze it.”
The Impact of Climatic Change on Agricultural Production: Is it different for Africa? (2008, background): “More precisely, despite the abundance of water, the tropical humid regions are generally not 4 Examples include the studies by Dercon and Krishnan (2000) for Ethopia and Molua (2002) for Cameroon.”
Chronic Poverty and All that: The Measurement of Poverty Over Time (2007, background): “More details can be found in Dercon and Krishnan (2000).”
Underinvestment in a Profitable Technology: The Case of Seasonal Migration in Bangladesh (2014, background): “…studies of the effects of migration, many of which are cited in McKenzie and Yang 1 Seasonal poverty has been documented in Ethiopia (Dercon and Krishnan 2000), where poverty and malnourishment increase 27% during the lean season, Mozambique and Malawi (Brune et al. 2011) – where…”
On Measuring Household Food Vulnerability: Case Evidence from Northern Mali (2000, background): “22 Dercon and Krishnan (2000) report similar seasonal movements in and out of (total consumption) poverty in rural Ethiopia in 1994-95 with Shorrocks’ mobility indices of seasonal consumption mobility of 0.”
The Foster–Greer–Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measures: 25 years later (2010, background): “Dercon and Krishnan [42] also rely on the FGT measures in exploring seasonal variability in consumption and vulnerability to shocks on a panel data set from different communities in rural Ethiopia.”
Natural disasters and population mobility in Bangladesh (2012, background): “Despite the adoption of these strategies, this research also indicates that environmental shocks regularly have substantial negative impacts on household welfare in the developing world (17).”
Nonfarm employment, agricultural shocks, and poverty dynamics: evidence from rural Uganda (2006, background): “Among the causes of such status changes, shocks affecting agricultural production such as rainfall variation are considered to be a major factor having a negative influence on a household’s welfare status (Dercon and Krishnan, 2000).”
On Crop Biodiversity, Risk Exposure, and Food Security in the Highlands of Ethiopia (2009, neutral): “Second, what is the relative (Dercon and Krishnan 2000; Dercon 2004).”
