Notes: This table estimates the correlation between food coping strategies and violence in the month before the survey between February 2016 and August 2018, using monthly data reported for each governorate. Data on food coping strategies were obtained from the WFP mVAM mobile phone survey; and violence data was obtained from ACLED. Columns (1) and (5) estimate a sparse specification without any time or governorate‐ specific factors; columns (2) and (6) estimate a specification including governorate‐specific factors; columns (3) and (7) estimate a specification including both time (month‐year) and governorate‐specific factors; and columns (4) and (8) estimate a specification that includes a Houthi indicator and only time‐specific factors. Standard errors clustered by governorate are reported in parentheses; * denotes statistical significance at the 10 percent level, ** denotes statistical significance at the 5 percent level, and *** denotes statistical significance at the 1 percent level.
