Climate‐Smart Agricultural Assets and Household Coping Strategies in Times of Upheaval

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transferring agricultural assets can be welfare‐improving for smallholders. Can agricultural assets also improve smallholders' ability to cope with unprecedented exogenous shocks? We investigate this question using the case of subsidized solar‐powered irrigation pumps (SIP) during the time of upheaval (COVID‐19 pandemic) in Nepal.
