Abstract

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, interest has grown in what kinds of assistance protect household food security during shocks. We study rural and urban Bangladesh from 2018-19 to late 2021, assessing how pre-pandemic access to social safety net programs and private remittances relate to household food insecurity during the pandemic. Using longitudinal data and estimating differences-in-differences models with household fixed effects, we find that pre-pandemic access to social protection is associated with significant reductions in food insecurity in all rounds collected during the pandemic, particularly in our urban sample. However, pre-pandemic access to remittances shows no similar protective effect.

2019冠状病毒病期间的私人转移支付、公共转移支付和粮食不安全:来自孟加拉国的证据
在新冠肺炎大流行之后,人们越来越关心在冲击期间何种援助可以保护家庭粮食安全。我们研究了2018-19年至2021年末孟加拉国的农村和城市,评估了疫情前获得社会安全网计划和私人汇款与疫情期间家庭粮食不安全的关系。使用纵向数据和估计具有家庭固定效应的差异模型的差异,我们发现,在疫情期间收集的所有方面,特别是在我们的城市样本中,疫情前获得社会保护与粮食不安全的显著减少有关。然而,疫情前获得汇款的情况没有显示出类似的保护作用。
