Poverty Traps and Climate Risk: Limitations and Opportunities of Index-Based Risk Financing (2007, background): “…the subsequent behavioral response often persist as children’s physical growth falters, children fail to return to school, and household productivity, asset accumulation and income growth are dampened (Dercon and Krishnan 2000; Hoddinott and Kinsey 2001; Dercon and Hoddinott 2005; Hoddinott 2006).”
Well-Being Dynamics and Poverty Traps (2016, background): “Hoddinott (2006) similarly finds markedly different livestock sales behavior in response to shocks above and below a natural herd size threshold in rural Zimbabwe.”
Consumption versus asset smoothing: testing the implications of poverty trap theory in Burkina Faso (2012, methodology): “Similarly, in an analysis of a long-term panel data from Zimbabwe, Hoddinott (2006) finds consumption smoothing by households that have sufficient animals to insure that they can plow their fields the next year, whereas those who are at that threshold asset smooth, destabilizing consumption, in the…”
Innovations in Climate Risk Management: Protecting and Building Rural Livelihoods in a Variable and Changing Climate (2007, background): “Ex-post coping response to severe or repeated climate shocks can push households to divest productive assets to a point below the poverty trap threshold (Dercon, 2004; Hoddinott, 2006).”
From Poverty to Disaster and Back: a Review of the Literature (2020, background): “…asset-poor households respond to weather shocks by reducing the quality of the nutrition provided to their children (Alderman et al. 2006; Dercon and Porter 2014; Hoddinott 2006; Yamano et al. 2005), a behavior which has short- and long-term impacts, particularly for children younger than 2.”
The effects of violent conflict on household resilience and food security: Evidence from the 2014 Gaza conflict (2019, background): “While productive assets contribute to the income-generating process, they can also be sold to protect consumption in the case of shocks - which is known as consumption smoothing (Hoddinott, 2006).”
The Economics of Poverty Traps and Persistent Poverty: Empirical and Policy Implications (2013, background): “Hoddinott (2006), for example, finds consumption smoothing by Zimbabwean households who possess sufficient draught animals to ensure that they can plough their fields the next year.”
Does fertilizer use respond to rainfall variability? Panel data evidence from Ethiopia (2010, background): “(5) In this paper we draw on the established link between rainfall and the household’s farm income and the ability to save (Paxson, 1992; Hoddinott, 2006) to posit that rainfall variability impacts the safety-first constraint in equation (3’) through the crop income in the previous period 1tπ − ,…”

Resilience of local food systems and links to food security – A review of some important concepts in the context of COVID-19 and other shocks (2020, background): “For smallholders at the upstream end of the food supply (farmers, small-scale fishers, agro-pastoralists) harmful or unsafe responses generally correspond to what has been long labelled in the literature as negative coping strategies (Corbett 1988; Devereux 1993; Kazianga and Udry 2004; Hoddinott 20”
Communicating complexity: Integrated assessment of trade-offs concerning soil fertility management within African farming systems to support innovation and development (2011, background): “Where rainfall is erratic livestock are perceived by farmers as a means to reducing income variability through the sales of animals (Dercon, 2002), but the capacity of livestock to smooth food consumption appears to be limited (Fafchamps et al., 1998; Hoddinott, 2006).”
Climate risk management and rural poverty reduction (2018, background): “…the future by eroding productive assets (Barrett and Carter, 2001; Carter and Barrett, 2006; Carter et al., 2007; Dercon, 2004; Dercon and Hoddinott, 2005; Hoddinott, 2006; McPeak and Barrett, 2001; Wood, 2003) and human capital (Alderman, et al., 2004; Dercon et al., 2005; Victora et al., 2008).”
