People's Republic of China (2011, result): “This finding is consistent with existing evidence in the literature for instance Jalan and Ravallion (2001) and Chamon and Prasad (2010) which found that savings increase when there is substantive income growth.”
(Forthcoming in The Review of Economics and Statistics) Precautionary Behavior, Migrant Networks and Household Consumption Decisions: An Empirical Analysis Using Household Panel Data from Rural China* (2006, background): “Jalan and Ravallion (2001) use a short panel of household survey data from the late 1980s and confirm that some nonproductive wealth is held as a hedge against income risk, but find that levels are not economically significant.”
Poverty and firewood consumption : A case study of rural households in northern China (2011, background): “In most rural areas in China, where poverty is still persisting, insurance and credit markets are absent or imperfect (Jalan & Ravallion, 2001).”
Rural livelihoods and poverty reduction policies. (2005, unknown): “This finding might reflect reverse causation; in particular, it could be that poorer households tend to hold a higher proportion of their assets in relatively liquid form, such as livestock, than richer households, as has been found in other studies (Jalan and Ravallion 2001; Dercon 1998).”
Are there lasting impacts of aid to poor areas (2009, unknown): “7 There is evidence of precautionary savings in response to uninsured risk in the same region of rural China; see Jalan and Ravallion (2001).”
The potential of land rental markets in the process of economic development: Evidence from China (2005, background): “…imply that estimates for the level of land market activity from our sample may be biased downward, i.e., the level of land market transactions may be even higher than reported here.4 The SSB survey uses diaries to provide a very accurate record of household consumption (Jalan and Ravallion, 2001).”
Hidden impact? Household saving in response to a poor-area development project (2005, background): “Using different methods, Park et al., (2002) also estimate a rate of return to the Government’s national poor-area program of 12% in the period 1992-95.11 So our results suggest that the compound rate of return from the SWPRP and the Government’s own program is 22-23%.”
Migration, Labor Market Flexibility, and Wage Determination in China: A Review (2005, unknown): “In addition to well known issues, the effects of risk (Jalan and Ravallion 2001) and migrant network (Zhao 2001) have also been examined.”
Vulnerability: A Micro Perspective (2006, background): “Jalan and Ravallion (2001) cite other examples, focusing on both asset and activity portfolios, although their evidence is more mixed.”
