FOR 756 Base Project 1: Vulnerability and household dynamics: Conceptual and empirical issues for Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
Traditional poverty assessments, which can only present a static picture of poverty, often miss dynamic aspects of the situation. Research in economic development is, therefore, rapidly moving beyond static poverty measures to include aspects of risks, shocks, and vulnerability. This effort has lead to numerous definitions and measurements focusing on different dimensions of vulnerability, which...

FOR 756 Base Project 2: Establishment and management of a database on vulnerability issues in Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
While base project 1 will provide a comprehensive methodological framework this project will facilitate the collection of household level data, including available secondary data and the organization and conduct of surveys among rural households, in three selected provinces in Thailand and Vietnam respectively. The surveys will generate a unique panel data set from repeated surveys of a total of...

FOR 756 Special project (Agriculture): Response of rural households to agricultural income shocks (Project)
The Asian financial crisis of 1997 has raised new questions about the role of agriculture in emerging market economies. While in these countries subsistence farmers have been moving gradually towards commercialization rural farm households may still play an important safeguard role. The role of agriculture largely depends on the structure and organization of the agricultural systems. It needs to...

FOR 756 Special project (Financial institutions): The role of financial institutions in absorbing shocks and reducing vulnerability: Evidence for households and small enterprises in rural Thailand and Vietnam (Project)
Financial institutions can play a very useful role in dealing with risks that lead to poverty. To investigate the role of financial institutions as a component of market-based social risk management in emerging economies, there is a need to conduct a broad survey-based study that addresses three issues: households financial decision making, risk factors of households and finally - based on these...

Climate change scenario modelling of soil carbon turnover on basis of improved soil carbon pool distribution on a regional scale (Project)
A high resolution representation of regional soil organic C (SOC) fluxes and pools facilitates an improved assessment of impacts of climate change and feedbacks on agro-ecosystems. However, soil organic carbon (SOC) pool partitioning in dynamic SOC models (i.e., DAISY) remains challenging, in particular when considering the driving influence of changing climatic conditions, e.g., by temperature...
