AB <p>The study aims to assess the impact of two short term demand-side policies on the food security of landless rural households. A conceptual model is designed to work out the policy impact pathways using a partial equilibrium technique. Primary data from 576 landless rural households was analyzed using a two-stage (fold) regression model. The first stage of the analysis shows that food subsidies significantly improve food intake along with monthly income, livestock assets (large animals) and household heads&rsquo; education The second stage shows that monthly income increases due to the minimum wage rate, joint family system, livestock assets (large animals), and education level of intermediate and graduation.</p>
