“…Typically, the methods used include linear (ordinary least squares and instrumental variable) regression analysis (Alinovi et al 2008;d'Errico and Pietrelli 2017) or its variants, such as (variance) weighted least squares (Ciani and Romano 2013), probit models (d 'Errico et al 2018), fixed effects regression models (Smith and Frankenberger 2018) and propensity score matching (Béné et al 2016) as well as correlation analysis (Wright et al 2012). Analysts that use ordinary least squares and probit regression analysis presuppose that resilience is exogenous to food security.…”

“…Their proposition confirmed the conceptualization by Béné et al (2012) that resilience is a capacity with well-defined ex ante attributes. This framework provides empirical guidance to some recent studies that assess resilience and household food security (Smith and Frankenberger 2018;d'Errico and Pietrelli 2017). The RM-TWG defines resilience as "the capacity that ensures that adverse stressors and shocks do not have long-lasting adverse developmental consequences" (page 6).…”

“…The dominance of cross-sectional studies is attributed to the current lack of well-designed panel surveys that incorporate resilience concepts. Nonetheless, a few studies exist that use panel data (Smith and Frankenberger 2018;Knippenberg et al 2017) from livelihood-centered projects. In fact, Knippenberg et al (2017) use a high frequency (monthly) panel data specifically designed to assess resilience under the Measuring Indicators denoted a composite of shocks) was modelled as an independent variable to food security.…”

“…SEM combines factor analysis and a regression component, where resilience or its attributes are first derived from a set of indicators, and then correlations among the measured attributes and/or other observed variables are examined using the regression component. A number of studies employ multivariate techniques in measuring resilience capacity in food security (Alinovi et al 2008;Smith and Frankenberger 2018;d'Errico and Di Giuseppe 2018;. Browne et al (2014a) also use PCA to generate a resilience score from multiple asset indicators, arguing from the assets and risk management literature that, a measure of asset ownership could be an indicator of household resilience.…”

Resilience and household food security: a review of concepts, methodological approaches and empirical evidence

The way economic studies conceptualize and measure resilience is very heterogeneous. This does not only challenge scientific progress, but also raises the question of whether they measure one identical concept with different methods or whether they measure different understandings of resilience. This paper provides a review of concepts, methodological approaches and empirical evidence on resilience from a food security perspective, focusing on socioeconomic research. We perform a systematic literature search to identify recent publications that analyze resilience from the perspective of household food security. We examine the historical evolution of concepts and methods used for measuring resilience and synthesize the evidence. We find that conceptual and analytical models have evolved over time, with important technical adjustments. Studies initially focused on measuring resilience as an end in itself, but more recently resilience is understood as a means to an ultimate end, hence resilience capacity is measured instead. Also, resilience was initially measured as an indicator of food security. Currently it is measured distinctly from food security. Multivariate techniques are found to be frequently used to quantify resilience. The empirical evidence suggests that households with higher resilience capacity tend to have less child malnutrition and better food security. We find that causal pathways through which resilience capacity affects food security in a microeconomic framework are barely explicitly considered in empirical analyses. Therefore, we suggest a model which explicitly addresses these pathways.

“…Moreover, the findings of this study are supported by other studies around the world. For instance, a study from Smith and Frankenberger (2018) during the flood in 2014 found some suggestive evidence that resilience (e.g., social capital, human capital, exposure to information, asset holdings, livelihood diversity, safety nets, access to markets and services, women"s empowerment, governance, and psycho-social capabilities) reduced the negative impact of the flooding on household food security for Bangladesh.…”

Sustainable food security at the household level is one of the emerging issues for all nations. It is expected that the patterns of household resilience factors and adaptation practices have a strong linkage with household food security. The aim of this study was to seek an effective technique of adaptation for food security and the required types of support for adaptation to food insecurity among the poor and low income households in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach: This study was based on primary data that were collected in Jul-Oct 2012 through a questionnaire survey among 460 poor and low income households from the Pahang, Kelantan, and Terengganu states of Malaysia. The samples were selected from E-Kasih poor household database based on a two-stage cluster random sampling technique. The study considered household food security as household food availability and food accessibility, and ran ordinal regressions to find out the linkages of household food security with household resilience factors, adaptation practices, and expected support for adaptation to food security. Findings: The study concludes that several resilience factors and adaptation practices were statistically significant to household food security, and several external supports were statistically and significantly needed to ensure household food security. Therefore, to ensure sustainable household food security in Malaysia, the food security programs needs to be integrated with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and climatic changes adaptation programs, and the involvement of relevant stakeholders are crucial. Originality/value: This study is a pioneer work based on primary data that empirically measured the linkages of household food security with household resilience factors, adaptation practices, and expected support for adaptation to food security in Malaysia. This study also discussed some issues related to the climate change linkage, which would help future climate change research. The findings of the study will be beneficial for all the stakeholders, including policy makers related to the food security and climate change adaptation.

By applying Resilience Index Measurement Analysis to data from Tajikistan, this paper measures food insecurity resilience capacity. Another objective of this paper is to construct and integrate coping strategies into resilience discussions. The final objective is to analyze the role of resilience capacity and coping strategy in food security with an Instrumental Variable approach. Our results generally confirm that resilience and coping strategies increase food security, determined by food expenditure, household adequacy of fruit and vegetable consumption, and household food expenditure share. Moreover, resilience capacity has a moderating role in mitigating negative impacts of shocks on food security.
