    Economic progress is accompanied by a

    landscapes of countries become increasingly uneven. The
    journey from low incomes to high incomes involves rising
    concentration of prosperity in a few places. Connecting
    people to prosperity - is the principle behind economic
    integration policies that can help countries reap the

    inventories as a buffer stock in rural Ethiopia. The results
    show that relatively land-rich households use accumulation
    and liquidation of cattle and other animal inventories for
    partial consumption smoothing, while low-income households
    appear not to do so. The results highlight the need for
