sheeja's picture

This paper combines data on weather shocks at the district level, monthly grain prices, and on wages in 82 retail markets in Ethiopia over 17 years to quantify the impact of drought on local prices and how this impact varies by month after harvest. The impact of drought on household welfare is the cumulative effect of crop losses and price changes.
