COMMODITY PRICES COFFEE PRICE PRICE SHOCK EXCHANGE RATE HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION CHILD NUTRITION MALNUTRITION International commodity price shocks may have large impacts on producers in developing countries. In this paper, a unique household panel data from Ethiopia is utilize to show that a decrease in international coffee price has strong pass-through to the consumption of households that rely on coffee production as a main source of livelihood. It also results in decreases in on-farm labor supply (particularly male labor supply) and induces reallocation of labor towards non-coffee fields, but has negligible effect on off-farm labor supply. The decline in consumption has significant consequences on child malnutrition: children born in coffee-producing households during low coffee price periods have lower weight-to-age and weight-to-height z-scores than their peers born in non-coffee households. 2021-11-12T18:36:21Z 2021-11-12T18:36:21Z 2021-11 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/undefined/181101636119195700/The-Pass-Through-of-International-Commodity-Price-Shocks-to-Producers-Welfare-Evidence-from-Ethiopian-Coffee-Farmers http://hdl.handle.net/10986/36551 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9839 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa Africa Eastern and Southern (AFE) Ethiopia
