The impact of food price shocks in Uganda: First-order versus long-run effects

We look at the immediate effects of these shocks faced by households in Uganda on their poverty and well-being.

However, in the longer run, we find welfare levels of rural farm households in particular to rise sharply, primarily as a result of increased returns to farm labor and agricultural land coupled with improved market prices for output sold.
