  "abstract": "<p>This study examines the determinants and impacts of rural household income diversification.<br>\nThe analysis of this study is based on data taken from &ldquo;Ethiopian Rural Households<br>\nSurveys&rdquo;(1997 and 1999) conducted by the Department of Economics, Addis Ababa<br>\nUniversity. To analyse the determinants of household&#39;s choice among different livelihood<br>\nstrategies and the level of income diversity, multinomial logit model that corrects selection<br>\nbias was estimated for five distinct livelihood strategies. The effects of income diversification<br>\non rural equity and consumption insurance against idiosyncratic income shock were analysed<br>\nusing Gini decomposition technique and linear regression model, respectively.<br>\nThe results indicated that the asset endowment of the household has a significant effect on<br>\nhouseholds&rsquo; choice of livelihood strategy and the level of income diversity. They also show<br>\nthat the effect of asset on livelihood choice and income diversity is dependent on the type of<br>\nasset as well as on the particular livelihood strategy. Empirical evidences revealed that farm<br>\nland holding, distant to market, involvement in cash crop production, ox holding, use of<br>\nagricultural extension and possession of senior secondary education by head lower the<br>\nlikelihood of involvement in livelihood diversification</p>",
