Abstract

Abstract We estimate the impact of subsequent droughts on the revenues of farmers in Ethiopia factoring in their adaptive capacity. We find that after the first drought, there is no significant difference in the revenue of the farmers who experienced a drought, as compared to those who did not. However, there is a loss in revenue after the second drought, specifically for those farmers that are endowed with less assets. This finding underscores that a rise in the frequency of extreme events and shocks can potentially have significant local distributional implications, with wealth as a major distinguishing factor.

适应能力和随后的干旱:来自埃塞俄比亚的证据

摘要:我们估计随后干旱对埃塞俄比亚农民收入的影响，考虑到他们的适应能力。我们发现，在第一次干旱之后，经历过干旱的农民的收入与没有经历过干旱的农民相比没有显著差异。然而，在第二次干旱之后，收入出现了损失，特别是那些资产较少的农民。这一发现强调，极端事件和冲击频率的上升可能会对当地的分配产生重大影响，而财富是一个主要的区别因素。

期刊介绍： Environment and Development Economics is positioned at the intersection of environmental, resource and development economics. The Editor and Associate Editors, supported by a distinguished panel of advisors from around the world, aim to encourage submissions from researchers in the field in both developed and developing countries. The Journal is divided into two main sections, Theory and Applications, which includes regular academic papers and Policy Options, which includes papers that may be of interest to the wider policy community. Environment and Development Economics also publishes occasional Policy Fora (discussions based on a focal paper). From time to time the journal publishes special issues based on a particular theme.
