Description

This dataset supports the manuscript "Climate change incidence, risk perception, and food security among smallholders in Tigray, Ethiopia". The dataset contains three folders and a file from three data sources: (1) the Ethiopia Rural Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS)/Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA), a three-round panel data for Ethiopia, filtered for Tigray region; (2) an ERSS follow-up survey on the beliefs and opinions of respondents on climate change conducted in August 2019 in Tigray; and (3) 4km x 4km monthly grided Climate data (Rainfall, Max & min temperature). The files include socioeconomic data and household features, beliefs and opinions on climate change, and climatological data (monthly rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures). The dataset covers 34 Enumeration Areas (EA) of the ERSS/LSMS-ISA and represents the region. It can be useful for studies on climate change risk perception and adaptation, environmental protection, and drivers of food insecurity in Tigray, Ethiopia. The data were processed using user-written codes in STATA v.17.

Methods

I collected socioeconomic data from the Ethiopia Rural Socioeconomic Survey (ERSS)/Living Standards Measurement Study-Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA), a three-round panel data for Ethiopia, filtered for the Tigray region. I also conducted a follow-up survey on the beliefs and opinions of respondents on climate change in August 2019 in Tigray. I also collected climatological data (Rainfall, Max & min temperature) from the Ethiopian National Meteorological Services Agency (NMA) for the years 1983 - 2015.

I processed the socioeconomic data using user-written codes in STATA v.17, the climatological data using R. I performed a Fixed effects analysis of climate change risk perception and random effects Ordered Logit analysis of food insecurity determinants using the socioeconomic data and climate change trend analysis using climatological data.
