Rural Financial Markets in Developing Countries (2005, neutral): “The term ‘quasi-credit’ is often used to describe the arrangements that emerge because they can be interpreted as informal loans with implicit repayment made contingent on the lender’s needs and the borrower’s ability to repay (Fafchamps (1999; 2004)).”
Economic Value of Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Agriculture: Review of Ex-Ante Assessments and Recommendations for Future Research (2008, background): “…(Dercon 1996; J. Morduch 1990, personal communication), underuse of fertilizers (Bliss and Stern 1982, chapter 8; Binswanger and Pingali 1983), and shifting from productive to nonproductive but more liquid assets as precautionary savings (Paxon 1992; Zimmerman and Carter 2003; Fafchamps 2003).”
Innovations in Climate Risk Management: Protecting and Building Rural Livelihoods in a Variable and Changing Climate (2007, background): “…and Sillers, 1983; Bliss and Stern, 1982), engaging less household labor in farming enterprises (Rose, 2001; Rosenzweig and Stark, 1989), and shifting from productive to non-productive but more liquid assets as precautionary savings (Fafchamps, 2003; Paxon, 1992; Zimmerman and Carter, 2003).”
Impact of cooperatives on smallholders' commercialization behavior: evidence from Ethiopia (2008, background): “22 Note also that farm households in developing economies tend to be risk averse, and the poorer ones more so (Antle, 1987; Barrett, 1993; Ellis, 1993; Fafchamps, 1999; Kurosaki and Fafchamps, 1999; Morduch, 1990, 1995; Rosenzweig and Binswanger, 1993; Rosenzweig and Wolpin, 1993; Saha, 1994).”
Consumption Smoothing and the Welfare Consequences of Social Insurance in Developing Economies (2006, neutral): “However, the presumption that consumption fluctuations give a measure of the welfare costs of risks, and therefore the value of additional insurance, remains prevalent (see Gertler and Gruber, 2002; Fafchamps, 2003; Cameron and Worswick, 2003 for recent examples).”
Fate and Fear: Risk and its Consequences in Africa (2008, background): “In recent years, there are have been quite of few literature reviews that are worth consulting, for example Morduch (1995), Townsend (1995), Fafchamps (2003), or Dercon (2002).”
