摘要

我们研究了新冠肺炎大流行期间尼泊尔农村家庭所经历的冲击。在政府实施的封锁期间，家庭主要经历了收入和价格的冲击。在此期间，家庭设法有效地保护了消费，主要依靠信贷（26%）、资产销售（10%）和储蓄（8%）。债务水平几乎翻了一番，储蓄变化有限。然后，我们利用一项长期随机对照试验（RCT）来评估牲畜生计计划的受益人是否更有弹性。项目受益人获得新贷款的可能性降低了6个百分点。

Coping with COVID-19 shocks in rural Nepal

We examine shocks experienced by rural Nepali households during the COVID-19 pandemic. Households primarily experienced income and price shocks during a government-imposed lockdown. During this time, households managed to effectively protect consumption, and mostly relied on credit (26%), asset sales (10%) and savings (8%). Debt levels nearly doubled, with limited changes to savings. We then leverage a long-term randomized control trial (RCT) to assess whether beneficiaries of a livestock livelihood program are more resilient. Program beneficiaries are 6 percentage points less likely to take out new loans.
