The objectives of the Ph.D. thesis were to examine the determinants of livelihood diversification in non-farm enterprises (NFEs) and its possible impacts on (i) dietary diversity (ii) expenditure diversity (iii) farm investment and (iv) multidimensional poverty in different agroecological zones of rural India. We used longitudinal farm households’ data from IHDS, gathered in 2004-05 and 2011-12. Our econometric technique utilizes the panel probit analysis, propensity-score matching to control selection bias and instrumental-variable estimations to control endogeneity.
