The findings suggest that poor households experience greater volatility but no lasting reduction in consumption following delayed monsoon onset. 2012-03-19T19:12:49Z 2012-03-19T19:12:49Z 2009-10-01 http://www-wds.worldbank.org/external/default/main?menuPK=64187510&pagePK=64193027&piPK=64187937&theSitePK=523679&menuPK=64187510&searchMenuPK=64187283&siteName=WDS&entityID=000158349_20091007100749 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/4261 English Policy Research working paper ; no.

| description |
In rural Indonesia, around 60 percent of
workers engage in agriculture and face regular climatic
shocks that may threaten their crop production, household
income, and human capital investments. Little is known about
households ability to maintain consumption in response to
these shocks. This paper uses both longitudinal and repeated
cross-sectional data to examine the extent to which farm
profits and household consumption are reduced by delayed
monsoon onset, an important determinant of rice production
in Indonesia. It also investigates whether poor households
are more vulnerable to delayed onset. Overall, delayed onset
has minor effects on rural households profit and
consumption. For poor households, defined as those with
average per capita consumption in the lowest quintile,
delayed onset the previous year is associated with a 13
percent decline in per capita consumption. Most of this
decline is due to an increase in household size, however,
and delayed onset two years ago is positively correlated
with consumption. The findings suggest that poor households
experience greater volatility but no lasting reduction in
consumption following delayed monsoon onset. |
