    Water is critical for agriculture in developing countries and climate change has created extreme weather events that push farmers into poverty. In this study, we first examine the role of yearround irrigation at village level in ensuring irrigation at household level and helping farmers to cope with weather shocks. We then investigate the effects of irrigation on crop farming efficiency, income, and poverty of rural households. We use a panel dataset of 1,681 households in Thailand and 1,699 households in Vietnam collected in 2010, 2013, and 2016 with a total number of 10,140 observations. Our results show that the availability of year-round irrigation at village level positively and significantly increases the share of irrigated land areas at household level. Besides, weather shocks significantly decrease crop farming efficiency and an improvement in irrigation has a positive effect on farming efficiency. Further, an increase in irrigated land share at household level increases crop income and total household income, and decreases poverty. Our results suggest that making irrigation water available throughout the year is needed for farmers to cope with extreme weather events and to escape from poverty. This should be done by developing infrastructure for ensuring year-round irrigation.

    Understanding households' resilience strategies under uncertainties is important in several domains including social protection, adaptation to climate change, minimizing disaster-related risks, and humanitarian aid. At the same time, food security is an important problem for developing countries, especially in places where are vulnerable to external shocks. We use the data of 1648 identical households from Thailand collected in 2010, 2013, and 2016 to examine the factors affecting households' resilience capacities and the impacts of these capacities on household consumption and crop commercialization. We employ savings per capita as households' absorptive capacity and income diversification index as households' adaptive capacity. We take into account household consumption and crop commercialization as the indicators of local food systems. Our results show that the experience of shocks in previous years positively correlates with households' saving per capita and income diversification. Further, a better absorptive capacity in the form of better savings and a better adaptive capacity in the form of higher income diversification have a significant and positive influence on household expenditure per capita and crop commercialization. Therefore, development policies and programs aiming to improve income, increase savings, and provide income diversification opportunities are strongly recommended.

    This research aimed to examine the factors affecting the participation of female ruralurban migrants in online marketplaces, the welfare gains and their distribution from the participation. Our analysis was based on the data of 373 female rural-urban migrants in Thailand and Vietnam. Online market participation is classified into three activities, financial transaction, trading, and business. We accounted for the endogeneity issue of online market participation in welfare impact assessment by using an instrumental variable approach. Our results show that the participation has a positive effect on the consumption of female migrants only when they participate in the complete bundle of online market activities. In addition, we also find that the poor benefit insignificantly from online marketplaces. This raises a concern of increasing welfare inequality and suggests that the poor should be supported in order not to be left behind.
