Although the natures of the shocks in the two countries were similar, the impact on farmers' income (particularly on distribution) was quite different. In Thailand, poor farmers bore the brunt of the crisis, in part because of their greater reliance on the urban economy, than did poor farmers in Indonesia. Urban-rural links are much weaker in Indonesia. Farmers in both countries, particularly those specializing in export crops, benefited from the currency devaluation. Although there is some evidence that the productivity of the smallest landholders declined over the period in question, it is difficult to attribute this directly to the financial crisis. At least in Thailand, a rural credit crunch does not seem to have materialized. 2014-01-03T15:06:07Z 2014-01-03T15:06:07Z 2002-01 Journal Article http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/01/17591994/weathering-storm-impact-east-asian-crisis-farm-households-indonesia-thailand World Bank Research Observer http://hdl.handle.net/10986/16468 English en_US CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Journal Article Publications & Research :: Journal Article Indonesia Thailand
