| Summary: | In the world increasing awareness of food insecurity has been of great importance for underceveloped and
developing countries. In recent years these countries have made little progress in reducing food insecurity. External
debt stocks and food imports of these countries have been an upward trend during the same period. In this study
impact of long term external debt and food imports to merchandise imports on food security was tested with
Quantile Regression Method for period 2000-2015 and 50 underdeveloped and developing countries which have
undernourishment prevalence. Quantile Regression Method reveals the whole picture by taking the entire
distribution of the dependend variable though the determined quantiles contrary to the mean estimation methods.
As a result of the analysis, it has been revealed that the increase in the long term external debt stock and food
imports to merchandise imports reduced food insecurity in food insecure countries especially. This result is thought
to be consistent with expectations. |
