| This paper analyses the extent and determinants of rural household poverty in the eastern highlands of Ethiopia. We study 216 households using a household consumption expenditure approach. We are particularly interested in the effects of location-specific and institutional factors (networks) in determining the probability of being poor. Our findings suggest that poverty is location-specific, depends on access to irrigated land (not land per se) and access to non-farm income. Results also indicate that household wellbeing is negatively affected by household size, and positively affected by age of household head. Involvement in governance, social and production related networks is also found to be strongly associated with the probability of a household be... |

| This paper analyzes the relationship between rural poverty and forest land management for the case of charcoal production under slash-and-burn agriculture. An optimal control model is used to determine how a representative household makes decisions about the allocation of labor and about the forest areas to exploit. In turn, these decisions affect the renewable resource base available to the community. The proposed optimal control model for charcoal production is based on the Pascual and Barbier (2007) model of slash-and-burn agriculture. This theoretical model is calibrated with data from the community of Chunkanán, Campeche, Mexico. The simulation and comparison of the traditional slash-and-burn approach to forest management with the Forest Management... |

| In Tanzania, as in many other developing countries, the conventional wisdom is that economic reforms may have stimulated economic growth, but that the benefits of this growth have been uneven, favoring urban households and farmers with good market access. This idea, although quite plausible, has rarely been tested empirically. In this paper, we develop a new approach to measuring trends in poverty and apply it to Tanzania in order to explore the distributional aspects of economic growth and the relationship between rural poverty and market access. We find that, between 1991 and 2003, a period of extensive economic reforms, the overall rate of poverty fell about 9 percentage points. The degree of poverty reduction was similar between rural and urban areas,... |

| This paper uses cross-sectional data from Mexico before and after the 1994 peso crisis to analyze rural household vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks. The study suggests that agricultural households are less vulnerable than non-agricultural households. The impacts vary depending on type of production and specialization level. Among agricultural households, those with a higher proportion of corn and bean production for self-consumption fared better than households which engaged in stronger market participation. Although the decline in their monetary income and consumption was more or less similar to that of the more market-oriented agricultural households, they were better able to shield their total income and consumption as well as their food expenditures. |

| Resumo: O estudo procura avaliar as transformações estruturais na agropecuária de Goiás na última década, destacando a elevada concentração do uso da terra e sua sensível piora entre 1996 e 2006. Em 2006, os pequenos estabelecimentos (com até 200 hectares) somaram 81,85% e 19,79% da área de cultivo e criação. As Curvas de Lorenz e os Coeficientes de Gini calculados mostram maior assimetria nas atividades de florestas plantadas e lavouras temporárias. Goiás tem 65,2% dos estabelecimentos dirigidos por produtores familiares com posse de apenas 13% da área de cultivo, mas que empregam 68,37% da mão-de-obra rural. Em contraste, as grandes propriedades geram apenas 14,36% dos postos de trabalho. O modelo agrário e as políticas de crédito rural adotados ajudam a... |

| O presente artigo estima a elasticidade-renda e a elasticidade-desigualdade da pobreza no Nordeste e nas áreas rurais e urbanas, utilizando como indicador de pobreza os seguintes índices: P0 (proporção de pobres), P1 (hiato da pobreza) e P2 (hiato quadrático da pobreza), controladas pela renda média familiar per capita, e o índice de Gini, como indicador de desigualdade. Os dados foram obtidos da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (Pnad) do período de 1995 a 2009 (IBGE, 2009). Estima-se o modelo econométrico para dados em painel com efeitos fixos e efeitos aleatórios. Os resultados mostram que a redução da desigualdade tem mais impacto sobre a queda dos níveis de pobreza do que sobre o crescimento da renda média, e que as políticas de combate à... |

| Literatures about the relationship between human capital investment and rural poverty are reviewed. According to the time-series data from 1990 to 2007, VAR model and variance research are used to study the relationship between household human capital investment and rural poverty. Results shows that there is long-run equilibrium relationship between household capital investment and rural poverty. Educational investment and health investment have significant impacts on the alleviation of rural poverty; while migration investment does not have significant impact on the alleviation of rural poverty. Among the factors causing poverty fluctuations, educational investment has greater impacts on poverty fluctuations than health investment in the short run, but... |

| Rural poverty rates in Zambia have remained very high, at 80%, over the past decade and a half, whilst urban poverty rates have declined, from 49% in 1991 to 34% in 2006. Redressing this high rural poverty rate remains a government priority in the National Development Programs. However, solutions have proven elusive. Solid empirically based information on dynamics that have improved the welfare of small-scale farm households in Zambia, combined with an agenda for disseminating this information in public discourse, offer prospects for generating a more transparent and pro-poor policy orientation. Using longitudinal data collected from 4,286 households which participated in three nationwide surveys conducted over seven years, in 2001, 2004, and 2008, we... |

| This paper draws together findings from different elements of a research project examining critical components of pro-poor agricultural growth and of policies that can promote such growth in poor rural economies in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Agricultural growth, a critical driver in poverty reducing growth in many poor agrarian economies in the past, faces many difficulties in today’s poor rural areas in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of these difficulties are endogenous to these areas while others result from broader processes of global change. Active state interventions in ‘kick starting’ markets in 20th century green revolutions suggest that another major difficulty may be current policies which emphasize the benefits of liberalization... |
