We investigate whether seasonal hunger – distinct from chronic hunger – exists in Malawi, drawing on two waves of panel data from the LSMS-ISA series. We examine the extent of seasonal hunger, factors associated with variation in seasonal hunger, and how recurring and longer-term seasonal hunger might be associated with various household welfare measures. We find evidence of seasonal hunger in both farm and non-farm households, with descriptive evidence suggesting gender, age, and education of household head, crop diversity, and storage of crops are associated with lower levels of seasonal hunger. We also find seasonal hunger is associated with household decisions to harvest earlier in the year.
