• Vulnerability to drought and food price shocks : evidence from Ethiopia (2016, methodology): “…outcomes for households has been analyzed in this way for a small sample of villages in rural Ethiopia by among others (Dercon, 2004; Dercon & Krishnan, 2000; Porter, 2012), and similarly food price shocks in urban areas have been analyzed using a household panel by Alem and Söderbom (2012).”
• The Economic Origins of Conflict in Africa (2017, unknown): “For example, Alem and Söderbom (2012) show that a food price increase in Ethiopia between 2007 and 2008 significantly reduced consumption in poor urban households.”
• Contract farming configuration: Smallholders’ preferences for contract design attributes (2013, unknown): “Third, earlier studies have documented trends of escalating food prices in Ethiopia (Alem and Söderbom, 2011), and have shown that the agricultural commodity market is characterized by speculative behavior (Tadesse and Guttormsen, 2011).”
• The impact of agricultural cooperatives membership on the wellbeing of smallholder farmers: empirical evidence from eastern Ethiopia (2017, methodology): “Previous research that used consumption per adult equivalent to measure wellbeing in Ethiopia includes Hagos and Mamo (2014), Abro et al. (2014), Bezu et al. (2012), and Alem and Söderbom (2012).”
• Modeling household cooking fuel choice: A panel multinomial logit approach (2015, background): “As shown by Alem and Söderbom (2012), there was no significant difference in economic status as measured by consumption expenditure between the old and the new households, conditional on observable household socio-economic characteristics.”
