  <dc:description>This study examines the determinants and impacts of rural household income diversification.
The analysis of this study is based on data taken from “Ethiopian Rural Households
Surveys”(1997 and 1999) conducted by the Department of Economics, Addis Ababa
University. To analyse the determinants of household's choice among different livelihood
strategies and the level of income diversity, multinomial logit model that corrects selection
bias was estimated for five distinct livelihood strategies. The effects of income diversification
on rural equity and consumption insurance against idiosyncratic income shock were analysed
using Gini decomposition technique and linear regression model, respectively.
The results indicated that the asset endowment of the household has a significant effect on
households’ choice of livelihood strategy and the level of income diversity. They also show
that the effect of asset on livelihood choice and income diversity is dependent on the type of
asset as well as on the particular livelihood strategy. Empirical evidences revealed that farm
land holding, distant to market, involvement in cash crop production, ox holding, use of
agricultural extension and possession of senior secondary education by head lower the
likelihood of involvement in livelihood diversification</dc:description>
