      abstract = {This study is primarily intended to examine the dynamics  and determinants of rural household poverty and  vulnerability in Northern Highlands of Ethiopia. The data  for this research is mainly based on the Ethiopian  Household Survey (ERHS). Results from disaggregation of the  poor indicate that ultra poverty is predominant in the  area. Similarly, using a three steps feasible generalized  least squares (FGLS) we found that many of the households  in the region are vulnerable to poverty. However, the trend  has been found to vary across villages for both poverty and  vulnerability measures. Besides, poverty decomposition of  sample households showed that chronic poverty is dominant  while transient poverty is secondary. An implication of  this is that programs targeting on poverty should primarily  focus on factors causing persistence deprivation without  undermining risk factors that drag households in to  poverty. Finally, some of the important determining factors  of observed poverty appear to impact on vulnerability to  poverty differently. Therefore, strategies aimed at  reducing poverty should critically consider factors that  make households vulnerable to poverty.},
