What do Household SurveysReallyTell Us about Risk, Shocks, and Risk Management in the Developing World?
基于16个发展中国家的家庭调查数据，分析了常见冲击类型（自然灾害、健康、经济、资产损失）及其对贫困群体的不良应对行为，指出调查模块的信息存在不足。
We report on a project to explore empirical patterns in risk, shocks and risk management using recent household surveys with risk modules from 16 different developing countries. Natural disasters, health shocks, economic shocks, and asset loss are the most commonly reported types of shocks and, especially for the poor, often result in ‘bad’ coping responses that may perpetuate vulnerability. The information culled from these survey modules falls short of expectations in several ways.
