forward step that could enhance the analysis. Synthetic panels based on matching individuals with the same time-invariant characteristics in consecutive cross-sections have been recently proposed as a substitute for such data (Moreno, Bourguignon, and Dang, 2021). Here we collapse the number of occurrences in a period but using short synthetic panels, we could include the time variability and explore observable households' strategies to cope with hazards across periods.
