我们评估了埃塞俄比亚生产安全网计划（PSNP）对农户牲畜和森林资产/树木持有量的影响。我们没有发现任何迹象表明参与PSNP会导致家庭减少对牲畜或树木的投资。事实上，参与该计划的家庭增加了树木的种植数量，但他们的牲畜数量并没有增加。我们没有发现强有力的证据表明PSNP在受到惊吓时保护牲畜。冲击似乎导致家庭减少对牲畜的投资，但不会减少对树木的投资。我们的研究结果表明，由于PSNP，林业活动有所增加，信贷渠道的改善鼓励家庭增加牲畜饲养。(C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
We evaluated the impacts of the Ethiopian Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on rural households' holdings of livestock and forest assets/trees. We found no indication that participation in PSNP induces households to disinvest in livestock or trees. In fact, households that participated in the program increased the number of trees planted, but there was no increase in their livestock holdings. We found no strong evidence that the PSNP protects livestock in times of shock. Shocks appear to lead households to disinvest in livestock, but not in trees. Our results suggest that there is increased forestry activity as a result of PSNP, and that improved credit access encourages households to increase their livestock holdings. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
