N2  - This paper reviews 12 studies presented at a conference examining two broad themes: (a) the interplay between household coping strategies and the impact of crises and natural disasters on various dimensions of well-being (e.g., consumption and child nutrition); and (b) some of the ex-ante and ex-post strategies that public agencies can adopt so they can be more effective in protecting households and their members from the potentially adverse impacts of aggregate shocks.<p />
