  • Transfers as a Means to Mitigate Covid-19 Impacts on Food Security

    Marco D’errico, Ellestina Jumbe et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2024

    Uganda is home to some 1.5 million refugees. Its self-reliance policy welcomes refugees with freedom of movement and work; a piece of land for building a house and home-gardening; and social protection (food and cash transfers). While a progressive refugee policy, the onset of COVID-19 may complicate its effectiveness. This paper investigates the role of food and cash transfers in meeting negative consequences of the pandemic for both host and re…

  • Refugee-Host Proximity and Market Creation in Uganda

    Marco D’errico, Rama Dasi Mariani et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Development Studies2022

    Many refugees remain for long time in host countries and to assess their impact on the welfare of local communities is essential for policy design.

The dataset allows the analysis of two samples of households: those with the same head in the periods considered and an enlarged network of split-off households. The potential endogeneity of migration is controlled b…

  • The effects of violent conflict on household resilience and food security

    Open AccessThalita Bruck, Marco D’errico et al.ARTICLEWorld Development2018Cited by: 40References: 7

    This paper studies how conflict affects household resilience capacity and food security, drawing on panel data collected from households in Palestine before and after the 2014 Gaza conflict. During this escalation of violence, the majority of the damages in the Gaza Strip were concentrated close to the Israeli border. Using the distance to the Israeli border to identify the effect of the conflict at the household level through an instrumental var…
