- Chronic Poverty and All that: The Measurement of Poverty Over Time (2007, background): “As for this second point, Ligon and Schechter (2003) were the first to point out that some existing vulnerability measures hid some awkward assumptions, e.g. risk sensitivity increasing in initial income, at odds with most empirical findings on risk attitudes (e.g. Binswanger 1981).”
- Assessing household vulnerability to climate change: The case of farmers in the Nile Basin of Ethiopia (2009, background): “Ligon and Schechter (2002, 2003) defined vulnerability as the difference between the utility derived from some level of certainty-equivalent consumption (at and above which the household would not be considered vulnerable) and the expected utility of consumption.”
- Measuring Individual Vulnerability (2005, background): “In terms of our desiderata, a=0 fails to meet Axiom 4, and more interestingly a=1 is at odds with Axiom 5.2 Ligon and Schechter (2003) were the first to point out the shortcomings of VEP with regard to the welfare burden due to risk exposure.”
- Vulnerability to drought and food price shocks : evidence from Ethiopia (2016, background): “, 2011) or vulnerability as welfare loss due to increased variance (Ligon and Schechter, 2003).”
- Poverty Traps and Safety Nets (2006, background): “…observable household characteristics in one or more prior periods (Christiansen and Boisvert 2000, Pritchett et al. 2000, Chaudhuri 2001, Christiansen and Subbarao 2001, Chaudhuri et al. 2002), perhaps augmented by valuation of the risk to which the household is exposed (Ligon and Schechter 2002).”
- Measuring Ethiopian farmers' vulnerability to climate change across regional states: (2008, methodology): “Ligon and Schechter (2003) applied this method to a panel data set from Bulgaria in 1994 and found that poverty and risk play roughly equal roles in reducing welfare.”
- Chronic and Transient Poverty: Measurement and Estimation, with Evidence from China (2010, unknown): “Insurance and income-stabilization schemes are seen to be more important policy instruments when poverty is transient (Lipton and Ravallion, 1995).”
- Toward an understanding of household vulnerability in rural Kenya (2004, background): “This is followed by a discussion of the emerging vulnerability profile and the implications for 1 Christiaensen and Boisvert, 2000; Pritchett, Suryahadi, and Sumarto, 2000; Chaudhuri, Jalan and Suryahadi, 2002; Ligon and Schechter, 2003; Kamanou and Morduch, 2004 targeting.”
- Vulnerability and poverty dynamics in Vietnam (2011, methodology): “…interest in measuring vulnerability in developing countries (see, e.g. Pritchett et al., 2000; Chaudhuri et al., 2002; Chaudhuri, 2003; Hoddinott and Quisumbing, 2003a, b; Ligon and Schechter, 2003; Gaiha and Imai, 2004, 2009; Dercon, 2005; Jalan and Ravallion, 2005; Ligon, 2005; Kurosaki, 2007).”
