_Notes:_ “AgriC” stands for costs of agricultural inputs and “FoodP” stands for the price of food. All variables are averages in current USD. The construction of the measures of household consumption, income, and wealth is discussed in Section 2, with further details in the online appendix. The construction of the indicators for shocks reported by the households is discussed in Section 5.4.
