The study focuses on Ethiopia, a country which registers one of the highest malnutrition rates in Sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, the understanding of its causes remains limited. The paper proceeds with a brief summary of the nutritional status of pre-school children in Ethiopia. It outlines the empirical approach and presents a descriptive overview of the data. This is followed by a discussion of the results and some policy simulations.
