Shocks and their consequences across and within households in Rural Zimbabwe (2006, methodology): “Because we have investigated the impact of droughts on child growth elsewhere (Hoddinott and Kinsey, 2001; Alderman, Hoddinott and Kinsey, 2004), we restrict discussion to summarising several key findings.”
Poverty Traps and Index Based Risk Transfer Products (2008, unknown): “Resulting health and educational deficiencies can reduce the value of human assets, further trapping the household in poverty (Dercon & Hoddinott, 2005; Hoddinott, 2006; Hoddinott & Kinsey, 2001; Jacoby & Skoufias, 1997; Thomas et al., 2004).”
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).”
Gone with the Storm: Rainfall Shocks and Household Wellbeing in Guatemala (2016, unknown): “In line with most of the existing evidence, the findings of this paper highlight that the wellbeing of households is sensitive to the consequences of weather-related disasters (Hoddinott 2006; Hoddinott and Kinsey, 2001; Maccini and Yang, 2009).”
Rural poverty dynamics: development policy implications (2003, background): “…asset endowments (Gunning et al. 2000, Maluccio et al. 2000), or (iii) the impact of shocks and their persistence on welfare (Glewwe and Hall 1998, Hoddinott and Kinsey 2001, McPeak and Barrett 2001, Elbers et al. 2002, Gertler and Gruber 2002, Yamano and Jayne 2002, Barrett et al. 2003, Dercon…”
Rural livelihoods and poverty reduction policies. (2005, unknown): “Furthermore, the poor commonly have trouble weathering shocks, suffering either persistent or catastrophic health problems (Hoddinott and Kinsey 2001) or necessitating distress sales of valuable productive assets.”
FOOD AID AND CHILD NUTRITION IN RURAL ETHIOPIA (2003, background): “The selection of new sites is described in Bereket Kebede (1994). 9 See Fafchamps and Quisumbing (2002) for a discussion of the representativeness of the sample.”
The Impact of Unconditional Cash Transfers on Nutrition: The South African Child Support Grant (2006, background): “sensitive to nutritional changes than, say, 2-year olds. Hoddinott and Kinsey (2001) , for”
The Long Term Consequences of Famine on Survivors: Evidence from a Unique Natural Experiment Using China's Great Famine (2009, background): “3Outside of the famine context, there is evidence that conditional on survival, the negative impact of adverse childhood nutritional shocks is mitigated by rapid “catch-up” (Krueger, 1969; Hoddinott and Kinsey, 2001).”
Do Natural Disasters Affect Human Capital? An Assessment Based on Existing Empirical Evidence (2010, background): “However, these results have been objected on the basis that they mix children above 3 years old with children below 3 for whom catch-up growth might not be expected (Hoddinott and Kinsey, 2001).”
Consumption versus asset smoothing: testing the implications of poverty trap theory in Burkina Faso (2012, background): “…as Hoddinott (2006) notes, destabilizing consumption in order to preserve productive assets in the short-run can irreversibly harm the long-run physical and cognitive development of the youngest and most vulnerable members of a household (e.g., Alderman et al., 2006, Hoddinott and Kinsey 2001).”
