The impact of the production composition on the nutrition status of agricultural households in RwandaJournal articleChristophe Muller, Applied Economics Letters, Volume 6, Issue 2, pp. 125-131, 1999

In a context of perfect markets, the impact of production decisions of peasants on their nutritional status is conveyed through an income effect and the structure of the output does not matter. Because of the imperfect and missing markets in LDCs, the levels of their agricultural outputs may directly affect the nutritional status of agricultural households. We estimate a production function for the nutritional status of agricultural households in Rwanda, that depends on sociodemographic characteristics and on past levels of agricultural outputs. The most beneficial outputs are tubers and an aggregate good composed of food products of high quality, while the traditional beers output and the nonfood products have a negative impact on the nutrition indicators. The sociodemographic characteristics of the household are influential, but they do not seriously modify the effects of the agricultural outputs. The results suggest that the nutrition policy in Rwanda could use incentives so as to modify the composition of the agricultural output of peasants.

Estimation des consommations de producteurs agricoles d'Afrique centraleJournal articleChristophe Muller, Économie & Prévision, Volume 105, Issue 4, pp. 17-34, 1992

[fre] Un système linéaire de dépenses de consommation des paysans du Rwanda est estimé. Diverses méthodes sont employées, en particulier pour corriger les effets du taux élevé d'autoconsommation de ces ménages. Les observations sociologiques disponibles sont confirmées. Les élasticités-revenu sont évaluées pour chaque bien. L'impact de la composition du ménage dans l'explication des "consommations minimales" est fort. L'influence des caractéristiques du chef et de l'environnement sont identifiées.
[eng] The purpose of this paper is to estimate a linear system of consumer spending by Rwanda farmers. Several methods of estimation are used, particularly one to counteract the effects of the high own-consumption rate in these households. The available sociological observations are confirmed income elasticity for each good is estimated; minimal consumption is largely due to household composition. The influence of the head of the household and the environment is identified.
