Popis:	We examine the impact of four different climatic shocks as perceived by households and community representatives on child learning and health outcomes in Ethiopia; one of the poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Two waves of household panel data for the years 2006 and 2009 are used and data is collected from both urban and rural areas of Ethiopia. For child learning outcomes we use enrollment, Peabody picture vocabulary and math test scores and for health outcomes we use body mass index z-scores and height for age z-scores.
