Risk-Sharing Networks (2007, background): “In recent work, De Weerdt (2004) and Dercon and De Weerdt (2005) analyze a survey of villagers in Tanzania asking, “Can you give a list of people from inside or outside of Nyakatoke, who you can personally rely on for help and/or that can rely on you for help in cash, kind, or labour?””
Risk-sharing networks and insurance against illness (2006, background): “Table 6 summarizes the links between households in the village and shows that these networks are strongly overlapping (for more details, see De Weerdt, 2004 ).”

The formation of risk sharing networks (2007, background): “…plays a major role in the way the rural poor deal with risk (e.g. Rosenzweig & Wolpin 1988, Townsend 1994, Ligon, Thomas & Worrall 2001) and that interpersonal networks facilitate informal risk sharing (e.g. Fafchamps 1992, Dercon & de Weerdt 2002, Fafchamps & Lund 2003, Dercon & Krishnan 2000).”
Networks in Finance (2008, background): “Moreover, a number of empirical studies point out that the existing network of interpersonal relationships shapes the formation of the network of risk-sharing agreements (Fafchamps and Lund, 2003; de Weerdt, 2004; Fafchamps and Gubert, 2006).”
