New Journal Article by Kalle Hirvonen, Thomas Pave Sohnesen, and Tom Bundervoet. Abstract: In 2015, Ethiopia experienced one of its worst droughts in decades.

However, further analysis indicates […]
Social protection, household size, and its determinants: Evidence from Ethiopia

Abstract: We provide new evidence on the impact of social protection interventions on household size and the factors that cause the household size to change: fertility, child fosterage, and in and out migration related to work and marriage. Using data from an intervention delivered […]
Can urbanization improve household welfare? Evidence from Ethiopia
Despite evolving evidence that Africa is experiencing urbanization in a different way, empirical evaluations of the welfare implications of urban-development programs in Africa remain scant. We investigated the welfare implications of recent urbanization in rural areas and small towns in Ethiopia using household-level longitudinal data and satellite-based night-light intensity. Controlling for time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity (across […]
Biases in self-reported food insecurity measurement: A list experiment approach
New Journal Article by Getaw Tadesse, Gashaw T. Abate and Tadiwos Zewdie.

Several scholars have proposed objective and subjective measurements to monitor or evaluate food in(security) programs. While the objective measurements such as food […]
From agricultural experiment station to farm: The impact of the promotion of a new technology on farmers’ yields in Ethiopia
New Journal Article by Joachim Vandercasteelen, Mekdim Dereje, Bart Minten, and Alemayehu Seyoum Taffesse. Abstract: Adoption of yield-increasing technologies is crucial to boost staple food production in sub-Saharan Africa. However, empirical evidence is lacking on the impact of improved agricultural technologies that are scaled up from research at agricultural experiment stations to the farm level. We assess the […]
