      abstract = {We re-examine the effects of negative weather anomalies  during the growing season on the decision to migrate in  rural households in five sub-Saharan African countries. To  this end we combine a multi-country household panel dataset  with high-resolution gridded precipitation data. We find  that while the effect of recent adverse weather shocks is  on average modest, the cumulative effect of a persistent  exposure to droughts over several years leads to a  significant increase in the probability to migrate. The  results show that more frequent adverse shocks can have  more significant and long-lasting consequences in  challenging economic environments.},
