The Pass-Through of International Commodity Price Shocks to Producers’ Welfare
International commodity price shocks may have large impacts on producers in developing countries. In this paper, a unique household panel data from Ethiopia is utilized 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-for-age and weight-for-height z-scores than their peers born in non-coffee households.

International commodity price shocks
may have large impacts on producers in developing countries.
In this paper, a unique household panel data from Ethiopia
is utilized 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-for-age
and weight-for-height z-scores than their peers born in
non-coffee households. |
