Assessing the Impact of U.S. Food Assistance Delivery Policies on Child Mortality in Northern Kenya by Nikulkov, Alex, Barrett, Christopher B., Mude, Andrew G., Wein, Lawrence M.

“…By varying the restrictiveness of these policy constraints, we assess the impact of possible changes in U.S. food aid policies on child mortality. The model includes an existing regression model that uses household survey data and geospatial data to forecast the mean mid-upper-arm circumference Z scores among children in a community, and allows food assistance to increase Z scores, and Z scores to influence mortality rates. …”
