摘要：

We use public transfers in the form of food aid to test for the presence of risk sharing arrangements at the village level in rural Ethiopia. We reject perfect risk-sharing, but find evidence of partial fisk-sharing via transfers. There is also evidence consistent with crowding out of informal insurance linked to food aid programmes.
