• Cash, food, or vouchers? Evidence from a randomized experiment in northern Ecuador (2014, unknown): “The FCS has been found to correlate well with caloric availability at the household level (Wiesmann et al. 2009) and thus reflects the quality of the diet in terms of energy and diversity.”
• The Impact of the Global Food Crisis on Self-Assessed Food Security (2013, unknown): “71*** (World Bank) No. of obs. 44 Household income per capita, USD, log Correlation −0.68*** (World Bank Povcal) No. of obs. 59 Prevalence of hunger Correlation 0.58*** (FAO) No. of obs. 62 Prevalence of poverty, USD 1/day Correlation 0.77*** (World Bank Povcal) No. of obs. 58 Prevalence of poverty,”
• Evaluation of dietary diversity scores for assessment of micronutrient intake and food security in developing countries (2009, unknown): “Many other studies in children (27, 32), adolescents (24) and adults (25, 33, 34) have found similar positive associations.”
• The Impact of Cash and Food Transfers: Evidence from a Randomized Intervention in Niger (2018, unknown): “…validation study across several contexts found that a cut-off of 35 corresponds to daily per capita caloric availability of around 1,950 kcal (Wiesmann et al. 2009).8 Food insecurity is widespread in this sample in July 2011; while the full sample average is 40.8, 33% of households have…”
• Rising Food Prices and Coping Strategies: Household-level Evidence from Afghanistan (2010, unknown): “See for example, Robles and Torero (forthcoming) who examine simulated results from four Latin American countries,(2) Woden et al. (2008) who summarize simulations for 12 African countries,(3) Ul Haq et al.”
