Intervention (Public)
|
Before
The interventions consist of 2 choice experiments and 1 incentive experiment.
CHOICE EXPERIMENT 1:
Approx. 100 farmers currently delivering milk to the cooperative are asked to chose between two different modes of payment from the coop for milk deliveries during October: Monthly on an account (status quo) and Daily in cash (with an additional bonus on the top of the regular price). The experiment is incentivized: farmers become eligible to receive the daily payment in cash if and only if they select into it.
CHOICE EXPERIMENT 2:
Approx. 100 farmers currently delivering milk to the cooperative are asked to chose between two different modes of payment from the coop for milk deliveries during October: Monthly on an account (status quo) and Flexible Cash, in which farmers keep the choice, every day, whether they are paid cash or with a transfer on the account at the end of the month. Both options also yield an additional amount per litre for the first three litres delivered in the afternoon. The experiment is incentivized: farmers become eligible to receive the flexible payment in cash if and only if they select into it.
INCENTIVE EXPERIMENT
300 farmers receive the incentive experiment. According to a predetermined scheduled, farmers are contacted and offered one of two treatments.
Treatment 1: a bonus for milk delivered in the afternoon of the following three days, paid at the end of the month.
Treatment 2: a bonus for milk delivered in the afternoon of the following three days, with the daily choice of whether the milk delivery should be paid in cash or at the end of the month.
Each farmer is offered Treatment 1 once and Treatment 2 once. The order of the intervention is randomized within strata.
