Title

Weather Shocks, Livelihood Diversification, and Household Food Security: Empirical Evidence from Rural Bangladesh

Abstract

Extreme weather shocks have occurred more frequently because of global climate change. Livelihood diversification including crop and income diversification is one of the most remarkable strategies to cope with economic and weather shocks to improve rural livelihood. We investigate the empirical linkages among weather shocks, livelihood diversification, and household food security, exploiting three waves of nationally representative rural household panel data merged with granular climate data in Bangladesh

Brief bio

Mr. Masanori Matsuura worked for a Japanese private think tank as an analyst and obtained MSc in Agricultural Economics at National Taiwan University, prior to joining IDE-JETRO. His research interests lie in the intersection among climate change, food security, health, and rural development.

Title: Improving Infant Nutrition through the Market: Experimental Evidence from Ghana

Abstract:

This study investigates the impact on infants’ nutritional status of introducing a new complementary food product for infants into the market. We conducted experimental sales of the product, Koko Plus, with randomly selected mother-infant pairs every week for half a year in Ghana. We found that the introduction of Koko Plus into the market significantly increased children’s weight. However, the effect was heterogeneous: it was smaller among children whose baseline weight was lower. We investigated the mechanisms underlying this heterogeneity and found that it was associated with access to safe drinking water. If mothers gave their children safe drinking water, the sale of Koko Plus significantly increased their child’s weight regardless of baseline nutrition status. The results imply that the success of a market-based approach to complementary food products in improving infant nutrition is dependent on access to safe drinking water.

Presentation by John Gibson
Title: Measuring rural economic activity remotely: Do we just need better sensors?

Abstract:

It is difficult and expensive to measure rural economic activity in developing countries. The usual survey-based approach is less informative than often realized due to combined effects of the clustered samples dictated by survey logistics and the spatial autocorrelation in rural livelihoods. Administrative data, like sub-national Gross Domestic Product for lower level spatial units, are often unavailable and informality and seasonality of many rural activities raises doubts about the accuracy of these measurements. In order to overcome these barriers a recent literature argues that high-resol ution satellite imagery can be used to measure rural economic activity and can provide indicators of rural living standards. Potential advantages of using remote sensing data include greater comparability between countries irrespective of their varying levels of statistical capacity, cheaper and mor e timely data availability, and the possibility of extending estimates to spatial units below the level at which GDP data or survey data are reported. While there are many types of remote sensing data, economists have particularly seized upon satellite-detected nighttime lights (NTL) as a proxy for local economic activity. Yet there are growing doubts about the universal usefulness of this proxy, with recent evidence suggesting that NTL data are a poor proxy in low-density rural areas of developing countries. This study examines performance in predicting rural sector economic activity in China with different types of satellite-detected NTL data that come from sensors of varying resolution. We include the most popular NTL source in economics, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program data, whose resolution is, at best, 2.7 km, two data sources from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiomet er Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi/NPP satellite which have spatial resolution of km, and data from the Luojia-01 satellite which is even more spatially precise, with a resolution of km. With this range of resolutions we can ascertain whether better sensors, used by the more spatially precise d ata sources, lead to more accurate predictions of county-level primary sector GDP. We supplement this statistical assessment with a set of ground-truthing exercises. Overall, our study helps to inform decisions about future data directions for studying rural economic activity in developing countries .

4. Message from the Chair of Conference Organaising Committee

The venue of the 24th Spring Conference, Akita City Cultural Creation Centre, was built in 1967 as the Akita Prefectural Art Museum. This building has a unique roof with a round-shape window that helps to shed sunlight to its inside.

Such design of the building was necessary for a museum located in Akita where the amount of sunlight is significantly less in winter. Since 2019, the same building is repurposed to host various cultural activities. We received 40 oral presentations, 5 round table sessions, 3 planned sessions, and 18 poster presentation applications.

In total 66 projects are going to be presented. I am very much looking forward to hearing discussions on various topics during the conference in our special venue, Akita City Cultural Creation Centre.

Kyoto Environment and Development Seminar #16, on Feb. 16 [for Members and Generals]

Kyoto Environment and Development Seminar #16

Paddy Cultivation as an Origin of Cooperative Norms: Evidence from Natural and Artefactual Experiments

  • Date & Time: February 16, 2023, Thursday, 16:45-18:15 (JST)
  • Language: English
  • Venue: Seminar Room E220 (GSA, Kyoto University) / Zoom Web Seminar
  • Speaker: Kei Kajisa (Aoyama Gakuin University)

Register in advance for this meeting:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Abstract:

It has been argued that the paddy cultivation experience enhances cooperative norms through collective farm management. This study aims to test this paddy hypothesis using a unique natural experimental setting in rural Sri Lanka, where two types of irrigation (for paddy or for non-paddy) were randomly assigned to farmers in an irrigation scheme, and, thus, the cultivated crops were exogenously determined.

Compared to the previous large-scale regional or nationwide comparisons, this setting enables us to test the hypothesis under a geographically and culturally homogenous setting. Using these natural and lab-in-the-field experiments, we show that the paddy cultivation experience enhances cooperative norms, particularly among the known members.

This result is consistent with our data showing the greater extent of interdependent work in the real world among paddy farmers. Our study supports the group of literatures which claims that social preference can endogenously change through real-world farming experiences.

Keywords:

Cooperative norms, paddy cultivation, irrigation

Kyoto Environment and Development Seminar #15, on Feb. 13 [for Members and Generals]

Kyoto Environment and Development Seminar #15

Family business during the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia:
Role of government financial aid and coping strategies

  • Date & Time: February 13, 2023, Thursday, 16:00-17:30 (JST)
  • Language: English
  • Venue: Seminar Room E217 (GSA, Kyoto University) / Zoom Web Seminar
  • Speaker: Wataru Kodama (The University of Göttingen)

Register in advance for this meeting:

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily affected economic activities. In Asian countries, where small family businesses play central roles in their economics, previous studies found that the sector was particularly hit by the pandemic.

However, little is known how households have mitigated the negative shocks on their family business during the pandemic. Using ADBI’s representative household surveys in seventeen Asian countries from ASEAN and CAREC regions, this paper investigates the role of coping strategies and government financial aid in mitigating the adverse impacts of the pandemic on family business conditions during the pandemic.

We find that (i) coping strategy is associated with lower probability of both a decline in family business income and family business closure; and (ii) government financial aid is associated with the former probability, partly through affecting the probability of adopting effective coping strategies.

We also find some important heterogeneous effects between female-headed and male-headed households, between ASEAN and CAREC countries, and among different business sectors.

Title

Weather Shocks, Livelihood Diversification, and Household Food Security: Empirical Evidence from Rural Bangladesh

Abstract

Extreme weather shocks have occurred more frequently because of global climate change. Livelihood diversification including crop and income diversification is one of the most remarkable strategies to cope with economic and weather shocks to improve rural livelihood. We investigate the empirical linkages among weather shocks, livelihood diversification, and household food security, exploiting three waves of nationally representative rural household panel data merged with granular climate data in Bangladesh

Brief bio

Mr. Masanori Matsuura worked for a Japanese private think tank as an analyst and obtained MSc in Agricultural Economics at National Taiwan University, prior to joining IDE-JETRO. His research interests lie in the intersection among climate change, food security, health, and rural development.

Webinar “Higher Education for A Just and Sustainable World 1 Transforming teaching and learning” Nov. 26 [for Members and Generals]

Scholars from Beijing Normal University, The University of Hong Kong and The University of Tokyo will introduce their experiences in transforming teaching and learning in higher education for a just and sustainable world.

Please find the concept note and registration information below.
Look forward to your participation!

International Webinar Series 2022
Reframing A New Social Contract for Education in Asia-Pacific Region

Higher Education for A Just and Sustainable World 1
Transforming teaching and learning

  • November 26, 2022, 14:00-16:00 (Japan Standard Time)
  • Graduate School of Education, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan

Concept Note

Background

Global society is facing unprecedented crises caused by digital technology, climate change, democratic regression, social disparities, and their impact on education and our societies. To address these crises, in 2021 UNESCO released a report entitled Reimagining Our Futures Together. The report stated that education itself needs to be transformed in order to build a peaceful, just, and sustainable future. The report also stated that in order to solve global challenges, including education, we need to ask three essential questions about education as a social contract as we move toward 2050 It is suggested that we reexamine the process of deciding what to continue, what to stop, and what to rebuild. The search for answers to these questions led to this year’s international webinar series.

With a rapid economic and social change in the Asia-Pacific region, many universities have actively promoted the SDGs. According to the 2022 Times Higher Education (THE) impact ranking (THE, 2022), 534 out of 1,410 reported universities were located in the Asia-Pacific region. One third of them were in a top 100 university ranking position. Furthermore, these universities have achieved highly performed engagement in promoting the SDGs. Although a vast amount of research in the Asia-Pacific region covers the topic of higher education, studies unveiling the transformation of HES remain dispersed and scarce. How have Asia-Pacific higher education institutions responded to challenges outlined in the SDGs? In what ways do Asia-Pacific universities transform their structures and practices of teaching and learning? How have higher education institutions addressed demands for sustainability unde r social, economic, cultural, and environmental pressures? This webinar provides three case studies promoting sustainability in higher education institutions through transforming teaching and learning in China, Hong Kong SAR (China), and Japan.

Objectives

• Enhance understanding of progress and challenges for higher education to innovate teaching and learning for sustainability in Asia-Pacific.
• Share experiences of efforts for transforming teaching and learning for sustainability through higher education in Asia-Pacific
• Exchange insights of the role of universities in achieving SDGs.
Expected outputs
• Scholars from Asia-Pacific Region share their institutions’ experiences of transforming teaching and learning to promote higher education for sustainability.
• Find new opportunities and approach to collaborate for promoting higher education for sustainability.
