Safir, AblaPiza, Sharon FayeSkoufias, Emmanuel2013-10-022013-10-022013-08https://hdl.handle.net/10986/16013Three recent rounds (2003, 2006, and 2009) of the Family Income and Expenditure Survey are matched to rainfall data from 43 rainfall stations in the Philippines to quantify the extent to which unusual weather has any negative effects on the consumption of Filipino households. It is found that negative rainfall shocks decrease consumption, in particular food consumption. Rainfall below one standard deviation of its long-run average causes food consumption to decrease by about 4 percent, when compared with rainfall within one standard deviation. Positive deviations above one standard deviation have a limited impact. Moreover, for households close to a highway or to a fixed-line phone, consumption appears to be fully protected from the impact of negative rainfall shocks.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTUREACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL ECONOMICSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL RESEARCHAGRICULTURAL WAGEAMOUNT OF RAINFALLANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAPPLIED METEOROLOGYAPPROACH TO CLIMATE CHANGEAVERAGE ANNUAL RAINFALLBASIC INFRASTRUCTURECHANNELCHANNELSCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONCLIMATE CHANGE RISKSCLIMATIC RISKCLIMATIC VARIABILITYCLIMATIC ZONESCOMMERCIAL BANKSCONSUMPTION AGGREGATECONSUMPTION DATACONSUMPTION EXPENDITURESCONSUMPTION EXPENDITURES PER CAPITACOPING MECHANISMSCREDIT MARKETSCROP YIELDSDECREASE IN RAINFALLDISTRIBUTIONAL IMPACTSDIVERSIFICATIONDROUGHTDRY SEASONECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRICITYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEXPOSURE TO CLIMATE CHANGEEXTREME EVENTSEXTREME PRECIPITATIONEXTREME PRECIPITATION EVENTSEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFAMILY INCOMEFARMERFARMERSFARMINGFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL SECTORFISHINGFLOODSFOOD AVAILABILITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITUREFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD PRICESFOOD SUPPLYFORESTRYFREEZEHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD EXPENDITURESHOUSEHOLD HEADHOUSEHOLD LIVING STANDARDSHOUSEHOLD SIZEHOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITYHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN CAPITALHURRICANESIMPACT OF CLIMATEIMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPACT OF RAINFALLIMPACT OF SHOCKSIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEIMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGEINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME FLUCTUATIONSINCOME SHOCKINSURANCEINSURANCE MARKETSINTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGEIPCCIRRIGATIONLABOR SUPPLYLOCAL RAINFALLLOW RAINFALLMETEOROLOGICAL DATAMETEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATIONNATURAL DISASTERSNEGATIVE IMPACTSPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDPORTFOLIOPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY RATEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPPPRICE IMPACTSPROGRAMSRAINRAINFALLRAINFALL CONDITIONSRAINFALL DATARAINFALL INCREASESRAINFALL UNCERTAINTYRICE PRODUCTIONRISK MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSEASONSEASONS FOR RICESUBSTITUTIONTEMPERATURETHREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGETOTAL CONSUMPTIONTYPHOONSVARIABILITY OF CLIMATEVULNERABILITY TO POVERTYWATER MANAGEMENTWEATHER PATTERNSWELFARE BENEFITSWINDWMOWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6579
