2019 Social Accounting Matrix for Honduras

The 2019 Honduras Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) follows IFPRI’s Standard Nexus SAM approach, by focusing on consistency, comparability, and transparency of data. The Nexus SAMs available on IFPRI’s website separates domestic production into 42 activities. Factors are disaggregated into labor, agricultural land, and capital, with labor further disaggregated across three education-based categories. The household account is divided into 10 representative household groups: Rural and urban households across per capita consumption quintiles. Nexus SAMs support the improvement of model-based research and policy analysis in developing countries and allow for more robust cross-country comparisons of national economic structures, especially agriculture-food systems.

Replication Data for “Price and Volatility Transmission from International to Domestic Food and Fertilizer Markets in Central America”

2025International Food Policy Research Institute

Replication Data for “Price and Volatility Transmission from International to Domestic Food and Fertilizer Markets in Central America”

This dataset contains replication data files for the paper “Price and Volatility Transmission from International to Domestic Food and Fertilizer Markets in Central America.” The study analyzes how international prices affect domestic price levels and volatility for key food commodities and agricultural inputs in selected Central American countries. The dataset includes time series data on domestic and international prices for 26 staple foods, cash crops, and agricultural inputs across seven Central American countries: Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Nicaragua. It covers: Staple foods essential to local diets: rice, beans, maize (corn), and wheat; Major export crops: bananas and coffee; Commonly used fertilizers: diammonium phosphate (DAP), urea, and ammonium nitrate. Domestic prices were compiled from sources such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP), and national market information systems. International prices were obtained from the FAO Statistical Database (FAOSTAT), Bloomberg, the International Coffee Organization, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). All prices are reported in United States dollars (USD) and include monthly returns, enabling analysis of both price levels and price volatility. The replication files include raw and processed price data; Stata or Matlab scripts used in the analysis. These materials are intended to allow full replication of the results reported in the paper and support further research on food price transmission and volatility in developing regions.

Migration Propensity Index Validation Survey, Honduras

2024International Food Policy Research Institute
Details

Migration Propensity Index Validation Survey, Honduras

This dataset documents migration and empowerment indicators from a two-round survey conducted in Western Honduras as part of a study validating the Migration Propensity Index (MPI). The baseline survey (May–June 2023) reached 1,209 households across six departments, using a multi-stage cluster sampling strategy prioritizing municipalities with high migration prevalence. Data included MPI questions and potential migration factors. A follow-up survey (May–June 2024) re-interviewed 1,094 households, with additional tracking efforts yielding data on migration for 1,176 households (97% of the baseline). Migration was categorized as internal (to a different department) or external (outside Honduras). The follow-up survey also collected empowerment data on a theoretically-informed subset of indicators from the Women’s Empowerment Metric for National Statistical Systems (WEMNS) from one household respondent, focusing on intrinsic, instrumental, and collective agency, as well as agency-enabling resources, aggregated into a single empowerment index.
