Impact of shocks on Vietnamese farm household income

Abstract

This research uses the “Viet Nam Access to Resources Household Survey” (VARHS) data set in 2018 to analyze the impact of shocks on rural household income in Vietnam. In addition, ArcGIS software is applied to illustrate income differentiation and the impact of natural disaster shocks on localities throughout the country. The results indicate a household average monthly
income difference between economic sectors. Households affected by natural shocks and epidemic shocks have an average income lower than unaffected households. In contrast, households experiencing an economic shock have an average income higher than unaffected households.
