《AJAE》| 埃塞俄比亚首都亚的斯亚贝巴新冠肺炎大流行期间的食物消费和食物安全
摘要：
国际人道主义组织对COVID-19大流行可能导致粮食不安全状况增加表示非常关心。本文对亚的斯亚贝巴有代表性的家庭样本进行了独特的小组调查，以研究大流行期间的食物安全和食物消费。与东非的其他一些国家相比，埃塞俄比亚从未实施过严格限制出行的全面封锁。尽管主观收入度量表明很大一部分家庭面临失业或收入减少的风险，我们发现，相较于2019年8月和9月进行的一项调查，直到2020年8月食品消费和家庭饮食多样性基本没有变化或略有增加。我们发现食物消费的构成发生了一些变化，但它们与之前对同一户家庭进行的电话调查中发现的冲击无关。因此研究结果表明，COVID-19电话调查中通常会问到的关于收入的主观问题可能不能恰当地反映此类冲击的程度。它们还表明，至少间接表明，食物价值链对大致与大流行有关的冲击是具有弹性的。

Abstract：
International humanitarian organizations have expressed substantial concern about the potential for increases in food insecurity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. We use a unique panel survey of a representative sample households in Addis Ababa to study both food security and food consumption during the pandemic. In contrast to some other countries in the region, Ethiopia never went into a full lockdown severely restricting movement. Despite subjective income measures suggesting a large proportion of households have been exposed to job loss or reduced incomes, we find that relative to a survey conducted in August and September of 2019, food consumption and household dietary diversity are largely unchanged or slightly increased by August 2020. We find some changes in the composition of food consumption, but they are not related to shocks found in previous phone surveys conducted with the same households. The results therefore suggest the types of subjective questions about income typically being asked in COVID-19 phone surveys may not appropriately reflect the magnitude of such shocks. They also imply, at least indirectly, that in the aggregate food value chains have been resilient to the shock associated with the pandemic.
