Field
Intervention (Public)
|
Before
This pilot, running from October 2017 - February 2018, will consist of randomized household subsidies of energy efficient cookstoves for 200 households residing in Kibera. A randomized, continuous range of subsidies will induce two groups: adopters and non-adopters. Compliance with subsidies is not expected to be perfect, hence subsidies will be used as an instrument for cookstove ownership. Follow-up via SMS with all households will measure energy expenditures post-intervention.
A more complex experimental treatment design will be used for the full-size study later in 2018.
