Abstract

We examine violent conflict's spillover effects on food insecurity in Uganda, Ethiopia, and Malawi. Using a contiguity matrix weighted on the distance between housing units and data from the Living Standard Measurement Survey, we find a statistically significant spillover effect of violent conflict on food security in Ethiopia and Uganda. Statistically significant indirect effects of violent conflict on food security were negative within Malawi and positive within Ethiopia. Direct and spillover effects of violent conflicts and other covariates on food security are also analyzed.

暴力冲突对撒哈拉以南非洲粮食不安全的溢出效应

我们研究了乌干达、埃塞俄比亚和马拉维的暴力冲突对粮食不安全的溢出效应。通过对住房单元之间的距离和生活水平测量调查的数据进行加权，我们发现在埃塞俄比亚和乌干达，暴力冲突对粮食安全的溢出效应在统计上是显著的。暴力冲突对粮食安全的间接影响在马拉维是消极的，在埃塞俄比亚是积极的。还分析了暴力冲突和其他协变量对粮食安全的直接和溢出效应。

期刊介绍： Food Policy is a multidisciplinary journal publishing original research and novel evidence on issues in the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of policies for the food sector in developing, transition, and advanced economies. Our main focus is on the economic and social aspect of food policy, and we prioritize empirical studies informing international food policy debates. Provided that articles make a clear and explicit contribution to food policy debates of international interest, we consider papers from any of the social sciences. Papers from other disciplines (e.g., law) will be considered only if they provide a key policy contribution, and are written in a style which is accessible to a social science readership.
