我们利用 1997 年和 2000 年对 1,422 个肯尼亚家庭进行的为期两年的调查，衡量了工作年龄成人死亡率如何影响农村家庭的规模和构成、农作物产量、资产水平和非农收入。我们还使用 HIV 阴性样本的现有数据中的成人死亡率来预测 1997 年至 2000 年期间观察到的因艾滋病死亡的比例。双重差分估计表明，成人死亡率的影响对已故家庭成员的性别和地位以及家庭的初始资产水平高度敏感。结果表明，相对贫困的家庭无法从户主成人死亡率中迅速恢复；至少在三年的调查期间，对作物和非农收入的影响不会减弱。 (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Using a two-year panel of 1,422 Kenyan households surveyed in 1997 and 2000, we measure how working-age adult mortality affects rural households' size and composition, crop production, asset levels, and off-farm income. We also use adult mortality rates from available data on an HIV-negative sample to predict the proportion of deaths observed during 1997-2000 due to AIDS. Difference-in-differences estimations indicate that the effects of adult mortality are highly sensitive to the gender and position of the deceased family member in the household and to the household's initial asset levels. Results indicate that relatively poor households do not recover quickly from head-of-household adult mortality; effects on crop and nonfarm incomes do not decay at least over the three-year survey interval.
