利用埃塞俄比亚北部提格雷地区农村家庭的三年面板数据集，我们通过将总贫困分解为暂时贫困和长期贫困两个组成部分，检验了贫困的动态以及两种干预措施--以工换粮(FFW)和粮食安全一揽子计划(FSP)--对贫困的影响。该地区的贫困主要是长期的。匹配估计的结果表明，FSP计划对全面贫困和慢性贫困有显著的负面影响，但对暂时性贫困没有显著的负面影响。与没有参与该计划的家庭相比，参与该计划的家庭的总贫困率和长期贫困率平均较低。另一方面，FFW并不对三种形式的贫困中的任何一种产生重大影响。然而，三元组回归显示，FFW使最富有和中等三元组的家庭受益。
Using a three-year panel data set of rural households in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia, we examine the dynamics of poverty and the impact of two intervention measures—the food for work (FFW) and the food security package (FSP) programs—upon poverty by disaggregating total poverty into its transient and chronic components. Poverty in the region is predominantly chronic. Results of matching estimators indicate that the FSP program has a significant negative effect on total and chronic poverty, but not on transient poverty. Households involved in the program have on average lower levels of total and chronic poverty than households not involved in the program. The FFW on the other hand does not significantly influence any of the three forms of poverty. Tertile regressions, however, reveal that the FFW benefits households in the richest and the middle tertiles.
