It's World Mental Health Day Today is a reminder that not only #poverty, but income uncertainty has a negative effect on the mental health of farmers in low-income countries We explored this using volatility in the price of coffee in #Vietnam🇻🇳: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aj… #DERGDK

The #coffee sector in #Tanzania creates direct income for about 400k smallholder farmers who produce 90% of it mainly for export. If not well-managed, international commodity price fluctuations put a strain on the #poverty reduction endeavors. ideas.repec.org/a/eee/wdevel/v… #DERGDK

Upward international coffee price fluctuation is associated with improvement in childhood nutritional status in rural #Tanzania In this paper, we examine the potential impact of commodity price fluctuations on the nutritional status of children ideas.repec.org/a/eee/wdevel/v… #DERGDK

Changing men’s behaviour in practice requires stronger, more sustained interventions. In this recent study, we examine whether asking Vietnamese men to reflect on gender equality can reduce their gender bias. 👇 ideas.repec.org/a/eee/wdevel/v… #DERGDK #Vietnam

The multidimensional poverty reduction trend observed in 🇲🇿 halted between 2015 and 2018 Using recent household survey data, we asked whether and how #poverty has changed in a period of socio-economic crises and natural shocks. 👇 ideas.repec.org/a/spr/soinre/v… #DERGDK @EvaEggerPhD

Commenting on gender-related laws doesn't reduce men’s bias against women, while writing stories has a strong effect on reducing prejudice against women In this paper, we use a randomized control trial to examine gender bias of men in #Vietnam👇 ideas.repec.org/a/eee/wdevel/v… #DERGDK
