Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Poverty impacts of precipitation shocks in Ecuador are heterogeneous across economic sectors. • Precipitation shocks raise the probability of falling below the poverty line in the primary (agriculture/mining) sector. • Poverty probability falls in the tertiary sector (commerce/services), consistent with recovery demand. • Impacts vary by urban–rural location, formality, and self-employment status. • Labor and household income are the key transmission channels. • Policy implication: prioritize primary-sector support and leverage recovery demand for services.
