Abstract
This paper estimates the impact of prime-age adult mortality
on household composition,
crop production, asset holdings, and non-farm income
using nationwide household survey data in
rural Kenya. Life expectancy has declined by 10 years due in
Kenya due to HIV/AIDS. Linking
detailed nationwide household survey data on agricultural
production, off-farm incomes, assets,
and mortality/morbidity, this work goes beyond village case
studies that have limited earlier
work on the topic.
