摘要
This article draws on the 'entitlement' and 'coping strategies' literature to argue that consumption smoothing is not the only priority of poor households facing food production shocks or income declines. In selecting from the range of responses available to them, decision makers retain economic and social as well as nutritional objectives, and they will sequence their responses according to the long term costs as well as the immediate returns associated with each option.
