Is economic growth less welfare enhancing in Africa? Evidence from the last forty years
The short-term impacts of Covid-19 on households in developing countries: An overview based on a harmonized dataset of high-frequency surveys
Rural Roads, Poverty, and Resilience: Evidence from Ethiopia
This study analyses the linkage between the recent rural road development and household welfare, resilience, and economic conditions in Ethiopia. The empirical approach relies on a difference-in-differences matching method, taking advantage of a nationally representative household survey and an original road database, both of which are panel data spanning the period 2012–2016. The results of the econometric analysis suggest that Ethiopia’s rural …
Impact of Ethiopia’s 2015 drought on child undernutrition
In 2015, Ethiopia experienced one of its worst droughts in decades. Using nationally representative data from before and after the event, we do not find evidence that this drought led to widespread increases in chronic or acute child undernutrition. However, further analysis indicates that chronic undernutrition rates did increase in drought-exposed areas that had a limited road network. This finding suggests that the recent investments in road i…
The educational impact of shocks in utero: Evidence from Rwanda
Exploring Psychological Distress in Burundi During and After the Armed Conflict
Civil War, Crop Failure, and Child Stunting in Rwanda
We combine Rwandan household survey data with event data on the timing and location of localized crop failure and armed conflict to examine the impact of these distinct shocks on children’s health status. The identification strategy exploits exogenous variation in the shocks’ geographic extent and the exposure of children’s birth cohorts to the shock. We find that in poor and nonpoor households, boys and girls born during the conflict in regions …
Assets, Activity Choices, and Civil War: Evidence from Burundi
Health and Civil War in Rural Burundi
We combine household survey data with event data on the timing and location of armed conflicts to examine the impact of Burundi's civil war on children's health status. The identification strategy exploits exogenous variation in the war's timing across provinces and the exposure of children's birth cohorts to the fighting. After controlling for province of residence, birth cohort, individual and household characteristics, and province-specific ti…
Livestock, Land and Political Power: The 1993 Killings in Burundi
This article examines the characteristics of the victims of the October 1993 massacres in Burundi. Using information on parents of the respondents of a 2002 demographic household survey, the author finds that the probability of a parent being killed during the events is significantly affected by age, sex and wealth, in the sense that older, wealthier and male persons were more likely to be killed. Using the median level of education of a parent's…
