Economic Value of Seasonal Climate Forecasts for Agriculture: Review of Ex-Ante Assessments and Recommendations for Future Research (2008, background): “Ongoing research into poverty traps (e.g., Barrett 2005; Carter and Barrett 2006) suggests that climate variability is one of several factors that cause farmer livelihood trajectories to bifurcate around a poverty trap threshold, and keep many locked in persistent poverty.”

Household income strategies and natural disasters: Dynamic livelihoods in rural Nicaragua (2010, background): “In extreme situations, households could fall below the threshold for profitable livelihood strategies and have to resort to lower-returns activitieswith few possibilities for asset recovery (Barrett, 2005; Carter et al., 2006).”
Escaping poverty and becoming poor in 36 villages of Central and Western Uganda (2006, background): “In addition to cargo nets, which help carry households out of poverty, stronger safety nets will also be required that can prevent or slow down descents into poverty (Barrett, 2005; Devereux, 2002; Lipton, 1997).”

Poverty Traps and Social Protection (2008, unknown): “23 The term "cargo net" was coined by Barrett (2005) and refers to transfers intended to lift people above or help people climb over thresholds at which accumulation dynamics bifurcate, as distinct from safety nets, which prevent people from falling beneath those same thresholds.”
