Before
During an initial design stage, households will choose cylinder sizes in a multiple price list that has them choose between a small cylinder, a large cylinder or no cylinder, where the subsidy on the per kilogram price of exchanging an empty cylinder for a full one vary across sizes and within the list.
During a second validation stage, a screening menu with two cylinder sizes offered at different subsidy levels, based on data from the design stage, will be compared to a flat price (subsidy) that does not vary with cylinder size. A control group will not be offered any subsidy on the cylinder exchange price but will be able to acquire a cylinder on deposit.
Empty cylinders and stoves will be offered on deposit for a fee that does not vary by treatment. Participants will exchange empty cylinders at an LPG exchange depot established for study purposes in collaboration with an LPG supply company.
