Notes: Coefficients reported in odds ratios; Coefficients of climate measures refer to an incremental change of 10%; Each estimate is derived from a separate model using all control variables (Appendix Table 4) and adding one food security or one climate measure at a time. Separate models were necessary due to high correlation among the climate and food security measures. A jack-knife type procedure was performed, removing one province/department at a time from the sample and re-estimating the models (Nawrotzki 2012; Ruiter and De Graaf 2006). This test demonstrated that the results were highly robust.
