Food Aid's Intended and Unintended Consequences (2006, unknown): “Abdulai, Barrett, and Hoddinott (2005) find that a seemingly negative correlation between food aid and production does not appear to reflect any causal relationship from food aid to diminished labor inputs or on-farm investments once one controls for targeting-related placement effects (i.e., the…”
Why has Africa become a net food importer? Explaining Africa agricultural and food trade deficits. (2011, background): “Others (e.g. Abdulai et al., 2005) argue that one of the positive effects of food aid is that it has provided basic nutrients and energy to the otherwise weak and undernourished workforce and thus has made the workforce more productive, thereby boosting rural activities like food production.”
Do refugee camps help or hurt hosts? The case of Kakuma, Kenya (2018, background): “(1999), Dercon & Krishnan (2004), Abdulai et al. (2005), Young (2007), Buchanan-Smith & McElhinney (2011), and Michelson et al. (2012). (5)See Card (1990), Lach (2007), Cortes (2008) among others.”
The Effect of Refugee Inflows on Host Communities (2010, unknown): “Abdulai, Barrett, and Hoddinott (2005), also using data from Ethiopian households, present no evidence that households lower food production in the presence of food aid and find suggestive evidence that they increase it.”

Smallholder market participation: Concepts and evidence from eastern and southern Africa (2008, background): “Indeed, well-targeted food aid that obviates seasonal liquidity and nutritional constraints may actually boost smallholder productivity and lead to increased, not decreased, market participation (Bezuneh et al., 1988; Abdulai et al., 2005).”
Rising Food Prices in Sub-Saharan Africa: Poverty Impact and Policy Responses (2008, background): “By contrast Gelan (2006, 2007) reaches a different conclusion using a CGE model for Ethiopia (on the debate between cash and kind, see also Abdulai et al., 2005).”
Extreme Weather and Civil War: Does Drought Fuel Conflict in Somalia through Livestock Price Shocks? (2014, unknown): “(1)The dependent variable in equation 1 is the number of violent conflict events in Somalia's administrative region during the month-year (m,y)”
