Social Identity and Crisis Resilience in Agriculture
Capacity to weather economic shocks is often mediated by social identity, which in turn determines access to social, economic and physical capital. We study the repercussions of a large economic shock on access to agriculture inputs, agricultural extension, output markets, and the consequent effects on income and livelihoods in rural Nepal. We focus on heterogeneity by caste, gender, and household migration status, using panel survey data from 23…
Economics of sustainable irrigation in smallholder agriculture
Economics of sustainable irrigation in smallholder agriculture: implications for food security and climate action, Anton Urfels, Alisher Mirzabaev, Stephen Bricx, Proloy Deb, Kumala Dewi, Gio Evangelista, Rica Joy Flor, Ben Harris, Nishanka Jayasiri, Avinash Kishore, Andrew J McDonald, Manoranjan Mondal, Emma Quicho, Kazuki Saito, Virender Kumar, Alice Laborte
Unemployment and Household Spending in Rural and Urban India
India has seen high levels of unemployment in recent years. Understanding how an episode of job loss affects household consumption expenditure is important for designing effective safety net programs. We apply difference-in-difference and quantile regressions to a high-frequency panel data from a nationally representative survey of 1,75,000 households in 2019 to estimate the impact of a job loss on household consumption expenditure – for urban an…
A comparison of the Indian diet with the EAT-Lancet reference diet
Indian diets, across states and income groups, are unhealthy. Indians also consume excess amounts of cereals and not enough proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Importantly, unlike many countries, excess consumption of animal protein is not a problem in India. Indian policymakers need to accelerate food-system-wide efforts to make healthier and sustainable diets more affordable, accessible and acceptable
Impact of subsidized fortified wheat on anaemia in pregnant Indian women
The World Health Assembly called for a 50% global anaemia reduction in women of reproductive age (15-49 years of age) from 2012 to 2025. India accounts for the most cases of anaemia in the world, and half of all pregnant Indian women are anaemic. In India, the government implemented a 4-year food-based safety net programme from 2008 to 2012 involving the provision of fortified wheat flour through its public distribution system. We assessed progra…
Is more inclusive more effective? The ‘New Style’ public distribution system in India
Having a Son Promotes Clean Cooking Fuel Use in Urban India
Urban Indian households with a male first child are approximately 2 percentage points more likely to use clean cooking fuel than comparable households with a female first child. Given Indian son preference, there are at least two mechanisms by which child sex could affect fuel choice: by improving the intrahousehold status of women, who bear more of the costs of traditional fuels, or by presenting an opportunity to invest in children’s health, in…
