TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a proxy means test for targeting ration cards, which was used to identify the poor and non-poor households in the Egyptian ration card subsidy system.

TL;DR: This article examined income dynamics for a panel of households resettled on former white-owned farms in the aftermath of Zimbabwe's independence and found that over a 13-year period (1983-96) there has been an impressive accumulation of assets and a dramatic increase of crop incomes.
Abstract: This study examines income dynamics for a panel of households resettled on former white‐owned farms in the aftermath of Zimbabwe's independence. There are four core findings: (i) over a 13‐year period (1983–96) there has been an impressive accumulation of assets and a dramatic increase of crop incomes; (ii) the rise of crop incomes is partly due to asset accumulation but largely to increased asset returns; (Hi) differences between households in initial conditions, such as previous farming experience, have few persistent effects; and (iv) income growth has been widely shared, income inequality has fallen sharply and the largest percentage increases in incomes are recorded by households that initially had the lowest incomes.

TL;DR: This article found that per capita demand growth is likely to be a more important driver of food demand than population growth between now and 2050 using the middle-ground International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Shared Socioeconomic Pathway projections to 2050, which assume continued income convergence.

TL;DR: How different long-term drivers determine land use and food availability projections is explored and it is shown that the key determinants population growth and improvements in agricultural efficiency are also shown.
Abstract: Land use is at the core of various sustainable development goals. Long-term climate foresight studies have structured their recent analyses around five socio-economic pathways (SSPs), with consistent storylines of future macroeconomic and societal developments; however, model quantification of these scenarios shows substantial heterogeneity in land-use projections. Here we build on a recently developed sensitivity approach to identify how future land use depends on six distinct socio-economic drivers (population, wealth, consumption preferences, agricultural productivity, land-use regulation, and trade) and their interactions. Spread across models arises mostly from diverging sensitivities to long-term drivers and from various representations of land-use regulation and trade, calling for reconciliation efforts and more empirical research. Most influential determinants for future cropland and pasture extent are population and agricultural efficiency. Furthermore, land-use regulation and consumption changes can play a key role in reducing both land use and food-security risks, and need to be central elements in sustainable development strategies.
