Gendered impacts of the 2007-2008 food price crisis: Evidence using panel data from rural Ethiopia

► We investigate the gendered impact of the 2007-2008 food price crisis in rural Ethiopia. ► FHHs are more likely to have experienced a food price shock in 2007-2008. ► FHHs are more likely to cope by reducing the frequency and quality of food consumed. ► Land-particularly good quality land-has a protective effect against food price shocks.
