Abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>India faces
significant air quality challenges, contributing to local
health and global climate concerns. Despite a national ban
on agricultural residue burning and various incentive
schemes, farmers in northern India continue to face
difficulties in curbing open-field burning. Using data from
1021 farming households in rural Punjab in India, we examine
the patterns and drivers of the adoption of no-burn
agriculture, particularly for farmers who mulch instead of
burning crop residue. We find a growing trend in no-burn
farming practices among farmers between 2015 and 2017, with
the highest adoption rates among large farmers compared to
medium and small farmers. Our findings suggest that access
to equipment and learning opportunities may increase the
likelihood of farmers using straw as mulch instead of
burning it. Specifically, social learning appears to
increase the likelihood of farmers embracing no-burn
practices relative to learning from extension agencies.
Furthermore, the form of learning depends on farm size.
While large and medium farmers exhibit a variety of learning
strategies, small farmers primarily self-learn. These
results underscore the importance of a multiprong policy
that provides sufficient access to equipment and a
combination of learning platforms that enabling farmers from
different land classes to adopt no-burn technologies.</jats:p>},

Title = {Social setting, gender, and preferences for improved
sanitation: Evidence from experimental games in rural
India},
Journal = {World Development},
Volume = {177},
Year = {2024},
Month = {May},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2024.106556},
Abstract = {Unimproved sanitation and hygiene practices present a
persistent threat to public health and well-being.
Increasing the adoption of safe hygiene and sanitation
requires both technological investments as well as
behavioral change, suggesting that social contexts may be
important in determining the success of efforts towards
improved sanitation and hygiene. We examine how the social
setting, particularly the gender balance of decision-making
spaces, influences stated preferences for improving
sanitation using a lab-in-the-field experiment. We designed
a sanitation-themed public goods game in which participants
made contributions that corresponded to varying levels of
sanitation and hygiene investments. We implemented these
games with over 1500 participants in 69 villages in rural
Bihar and Odisha, India, randomly varying group gender
composition (women only, men only, and mixed gender). Our
study finds that individuals playing in single gender groups
make larger contributions; these increases are driven by
women playing in groups with only women. In mixed gender
groups, contributions increase with the share of male
participants and over rounds played. We also find that
preferences elicited via experimental games are correlated
with revealed preferences for hygiene and sanitation –
game behavior and sanitation practices are positively
correlated for men and negatively correlated for women.
Collectively, our findings suggest that sanitation promotion
programs, which rightfully focus on community mobilization,
could be more effective if they explicitly incorporated
gender preferences and considered the social decision-making
environment in their design},

Abstract = {The world remains far from meeting Sustainable Development
Goals 5 (gender equality) and 7 (universal access to modern
energy). Energy access may empower women even as empowered
women are more likely to adopt and use modern energy
services. Such bidirectional linkages are underappreciated
in the empirical literature, which typically estimates
unidirectional relationships based on simple binary
indicators. Here we review theoretical frameworks on
women’s empowerment, take stock of the empirical
literature on the connections between women’s empowerment
and energy access, and place empirical results in the
context of the theoretical literature. We highlight major
knowledge gaps that require further attention from
researchers and practitioners. In particular, we recommend
the use of more comprehensive measures of energy services,
the consideration of a richer set of gender empowerment
indicators and the application of pluralistic methods to
address the challenges of understanding how energy
intersects with gender.},

Title = {Gender empowerment and energy access: evidence from seven
countries},

Volume = {18},
Number = {4},
Year = {2023},
Month = {April},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/acc2d3},
Abstract = {Gender equity is connected to modern energy services in many
ways, but quantitative empirical work on these connections
is limited. We examine the relationship between a
multi-dimensional measure of women’s empowerment and
access to improved cookstoves, clean fuels, and electricity.
We use the World Bank Multi-Tier Framework survey datasets
from seven countries that include almost 25 000 households
in Africa and Asia. First, we apply principal component
analysis to construct a household level empowerment index,
using data on women’s education, credit access, social
capital, mobility, and employment. Then, we use simple
regression analysis to study the correlation between
empowerment and energy access at the household level. We
find a positive association between the women’s
empowerment index and energy access variables, though this
household pattern does not hold across all countries and
contexts. While we do not claim that these relationships are
causal, to our knowledge this is a fresh analysis of how the
empowerment of women is differentially correlated with
household energy access across geographies and technologies.
Thus, our analysis provides a first step to further work
aimed at clarifying gender-energy linkages.},

Title = {Air quality valuation using online surveys in three Asian
megacities},
Journal = {Resources, Environment and Sustainability},
Volume = {10},
Year = {2022},
Month = {December},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resenv.2022.100090},
Abstract = {Due to worsening air quality across many cities in
developing countries, there is an urgent need to consider
more aggressive air pollution control measures. Valuation of
the benefits of clean air is crucial for establishing the
rationale for such policies, but is methodologically
challenging, often expensive, and therefore remains limited.
This study assesses the potential for more standardized and
cost-effective measurement of the demand for air quality
improvements, applying a contingent valuation procedure via
online surveys, in three Asian megacities facing severe but
varying pollution problems — Beijing, Delhi, and Jakarta.
The study's primary contribution is to demonstrate the
viability of this approach, which significantly enhances
comparability of valuations and their drivers across
locations, and thereby has great potential for informing
policy analysis and targeting of specific interventions. A
second contribution is to supply sorely needed data on the
benefits of clean air in these three particular Asian
cities, which collectively have a population of about 50
million people. The annual willingness-to-pay for air
quality to reach national standards is estimated to be
US$150 in Jakarta (where average PM2.5 concentration, at 45
μg/m3, exceeds national standards by the smallest amount,
specifically a factor of 1.3), US$1845 in Beijing (PM2.5 at
58 μg/m3, 1.7 times the standard), and US$1760 in Delhi
(PM2.5 at 133 μg/m3, 3.3 times the standard). The methods
deployed could be applied more widely to construct a
worldwide database of comparable air quality
valuations.},

Title = {Effect of electricity price reform on households’
electricity consumption in urban Ethiopia},
Journal = {Utilities Policy},
Volume = {79},
Year = {2022},
Month = {December},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jup.2022.101445},
Abstract = {Until recently, the price of electricity in Ethiopia was
among the lowest in the world. Such low prices have
contributed to a substantial financial deficit for the
government-owned electric utility and led to a degradation
in the quality of electricity services delivered to
customers. In December 2018, the utility increased the
electricity tariff to help to finance improvements in the
quality of electricity services. This paper studies the
effect of the revised tariff on urban household electricity
consumption and alternative fuel expenditure. The study
relied on two rounds of household survey data and six years
of electricity consumption data from the utility company.
The study finds that prepaid customers reduced their
electricity consumption by about 22 kWh per month in the
post-tariff-adjustment periods, equivalent to about 10% of
electricity expenditure and 14% of daily consumption. In the
overall sample, however, consumption slightly increased over
time. These results imply that the price elasticity of
demand for electricity in urban Ethiopia is highly
inelastic. Moreover, households did not shift substantially
toward the use of alternative fuels. The findings indicate
that governments and utilities in settings where electricity
is priced well below cost-covering levels may be able to
increase revenues and improve their balance sheets with
relatively modest effects on households’ electricity
consumption, though effects from more substantial tariff
hikes should be examined.},

Title = {Pre-paid meters and household electricity use behaviors:
Evidence from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia},
Journal = {Energy Policy},
Volume = {170},
Year = {2022},
Month = {November},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2022.113251},
Abstract = {In low-income countries such as Ethiopia, pre-paid metering
is often argued to alleviate several challenges with
traditional electricity billing systems, including high
non-payment rate, pilferage and fraud, administrative and
enforcement costs for utilities, and inflexibility and
incongruence of bills with poorer consumers' irregular
income. Despite increasing adoption of this technology, few
studies examine its causal impacts on household behaviour.
This paper examines the impacts of pre-paid metering on
electricity consumption, ownership of appliances, level of
satisfaction, and cooking behaviour in Addis Ababa, the
capital of Ethiopia. We employ propensity score matching and
instrumental variable techniques to control for the
non-random selection into pre-paid metering. Results
indicate that pre-paid customers have significantly lower
electricity consumption compared to those with traditional
meters, and express greater satisfaction with utility
service. This technology also has a positive, but modest and
statistically insignificant impact on total appliance
ownership, and a positive and significant impact on
ownership of energy-efficient lights. Impacts are
heterogeneous across customers, however: those who are more
educated, who have higher income, and who do not share
meters tend to reduce electricity use more. The results
suggest that pre-paid meters have had positive impacts on
households and the utility in Addis Ababa.},

url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.2166/washdev.2022.134},
Abstract = {Despite the importance of safe sanitation and hygiene for
sustainable development and public health, approximately
half of India’s rural population lacks access to safely
managed sanitation. Policies prioritizing improved
sanitation access have accelerated coverage, yet barriers to
universal access and use remain. In this paper, we
investigate how personal experience with a public health
shock impacts recall of public health messages and
households’ sanitation and hygiene practices. Using a
panel survey conducted before and after the first wave of
the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting lockdown, in Bihar,
India, we compare public health messaging recall and hygiene
and sanitation beha-viors among households that experienced
severe economic disruptions due to the COVID-19 lockdown and
those that did not. We find that households that experienced
economic disruptions had a higher recall of public health
messaging around safe sanitation and hygiene. In addition,
households that experienced these disruptions reported more
social distancing, increased handwashing behavior, and
reduced open defecation. A major public health shock, the
COVID-19 pandemic, increased messaging around the importance
of safe hygiene and sanitation for public health in India.
We find that personal experience increased the salience of
public health messaging, with positive returns to sanitation
and hygiene practices.},

Month = {October},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/2515-7620/ac9458},
Abstract = {Affordability is a major barrier to the adoption of clean
energy technologies in low-income countries, which is partly
why many governments provide subsidies to offset some of the
upfront (installation) costs. However, simple administrative
rules might not fully account for economic geography,
resulting in lower subsidies for remote areas. Using
regression analysis on a rich dataset of adoption, cost and
subsidy for about 4000 Nepalese Village Development
Committees over 22 years, we show that administratively
determined lumpsum subsidies disproportionately hurt remote
communities. Simulations show that adjusting the subsidy
spatially to reflect the geographic cost of living, can
increase clean technology adoption. Thus, spatial targeting
of subsidies is key to accelerating energy access in remote
settings such as the Hindu Kush Himalaya.},

behaviors},

Year = {2022},
Month = {August},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo.2022.05.024},
Abstract = {One third of the world's population lacks access to improved
sanitation facilities with ramifications for health, human
well-being, and economic development. Although household
latrines offer a relatively cheap technological solution,
initiatives for universal coverage have fallen short of
their goals. In this paper, we analyze a unique panel
dataset to examine policies and peer effects as drivers of
household sanitation behaviors over time. Our data include
nearly 1000 rural Indian households across 39 villages
surveyed at five time points over a 14-year period during
which two distinct sanitation policy interventions occurred.
Using spatial data on household locations to define peer
reference groups, we estimate how the sanitation behaviors
of neighbors influence latrine use, both at the household
level and by gender. We find evidence that, while external
interventions can be effective in increasing latrine use in
the short term, sustained household latrine use consistently
depends on neighbors’ behavior. We also examine within-
and across-group peer influences by examining patterns of
latrine use among adult women and men. We find clear
evidence that latrine use by neighboring women positively
influences sanitation behaviors for both women and men,
while latrine use among neighboring men has imprecisely
estimated and small positive effects on men's behaviors and
no effect on women's behaviors. These finding suggest that
peer influences represent an important mechanism underlying
household sanitation behavior, and policies that leverage
these social effects, such as investments expanding women's
access to sanitation and other drivers of behavior change,
may be more effective and sustainable.},

Title = {Speaking from experience: Preferences for cooking with
biogas in rural India},
Journal = {Energy Economics},
Volume = {107},
Year = {2022},
Month = {March},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2021.105796},
Abstract = {Biogas has the potential to satisfy the clean energy needs
of millions of households in under-served and energy-poor
rural areas, while reducing both private and social costs
linked to (i) fuels for household cooking, (ii) fertilizers,
(iii) pressure on forests, and (iv) emissions (e.g., PM2.5
and methane) that damage both household health and global
climate. While the literature has focused on identifying
these costs, less attention has been paid to household
preferences for biogas systems — specifically what
attributes are popular with which types of households. We
conduct a discrete choice experiment with 503 households in
rural Odisha, India, to better characterize preferences for
different attributes (smoke reduction, fuel efficiency, and
maintenance) and for different cooking technologies (biogas
and an improved biomass cookstove). We find that on average
households value smoke reduction and fuel efficiency.
Willingness to pay (WTP) a premium for the improved biomass
cookstove is low, while willingness to pay a premium for
biogas is high. Nonetheless, WTP varies by the type of
previous experience with biogas (e.g., good or bad
experience) and with time and risk preferences of
households. While risk-averse and impatient respondents have
lower WTP for the improved cookstoves, previous experience
with biogas attenuates this gap. These findings suggest that
biogas uptake and diffusion could be improved by
complementing existing subsidies with technology trials,
good quality products, maintenance, and customer services to
reduce uncertainty.},

consumption: Evidence from Costa Rica},

Volume = {66},
Year = {2021},
Month = {November},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.reseneeco.2021.101264},
Abstract = {We study the implementation of a time-varying pricing (TVP)
program by a major electricity utility in Costa Rica.
Because of particular features of the data, we use recently
developed understanding of the two-way fixed effects
differences-in-differences estimator along with event-study
specifications to interpret our results. Similar to previous
research, we find that the program reduces consumption
during peak-hours. However, in contrast with previous
research, we find that the program increases total
consumption. With a stylized economic model, we show how
these seemingly conflicted results may not be at odds. The
key element of the model is that previous research used data
from rich countries, in which the use of heating and cooling
devices drives electricity consumption, but we use data from
a tropical middle-income country, where very few households
have heating or cooling devices. Since there is not much
room for technological changes (which might reduce
consumption at all times), behavioral changes to reduce
consumption during peak hours are not enough to offset the
increased consumption during off-peak hours (when
electricity is cheaper). Our results serve as a cautionary
piece of evidence for policy makers interested in reducing
consumption during peak hours—the goal can potentially be
achieved with TVP, but the cost is increased total
consumption},

Title = {Households' valuation of power outages in major cities of
Ethiopia: An application of stated preference
methods},

Volume = {102},
Year = {2021},
Month = {October},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2021.105527},
Abstract = {In many developing countries, electricity consumers
experience frequent supply interruptions, leading to high
coping costs and stifled investment, which contribute to
energy poverty. In 2019, we implemented stated preference
experiments to estimate households' preferences for improved
electricity supply in a nationally representative sample of
urban households, covering 42 cities in Ethiopia. In the
first split-sample experiment, we presented respondents with
a contingent valuation (CV) scenario that alternatively
elicited their willingness to pay (WTP) for reduced
evening-time power outages, or their willingness to accept
(WTA) compensation for increased disruptions. Then, we
implemented a discrete choice experiment with the same
respondents to understand preferences for the frequency,
duration and time of a day attributes of outages, as well as
the value of advanced notification. The results from the CV
survey show that household WTP is approximately 40 birr
(US$1.4) for a three-hour reduction of duration in power
outages in the evening and that WTA is 42 birr (US$1.4) for
a similar increase in the duration of outages during that
period. The choice experiment meanwhile reveals that
household WTP is 11 birr (US$0.4) for a one-unit reduction
in the number of outages and 53 birr (US$1.8) to avoid
daytime or nighttime outages relative to morning outages, on
average. Households prefer a day prior outage notification
to a week prior notification, with a marginal WTP of 23 birr
(US$0.8). Information about the value of such outage
attributes can help inform strategies that better address
electricity consumers' preferences and needs. We finally
discussed the relationship between energy poverty and
preferences for improved electricity supply.},

Title = {Do improved cookstoves save time and improve gender
outcomes? Evidence from six developing countries},
Journal = {Energy Economics},
Volume = {102},
Year = {2021},
Month = {October},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.eneco.2021.105456},
Abstract = {Three billion people around the world lack access to
affordable and reliable clean cooking energy. The case for
clean energy has largely been built around health and or
environmental benefits, neglecting potentially sizeable
benefit(s): when households have clean energy, they can save
time and reduce drudgery. Clean energy can reduce poverty.
But how large are time savings from the adoption and use of
improved cookstoves (ICS)? Do these benefits accrue
especially to women? To answer these questions, we develop a
conceptual framework based on household production, and then
employ two complementary empirical methods. First, we review
the impact evaluation literature that estimates time savings
from use of various ICS. Second, we conduct multivariable
regression analysis of Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) data from
six countries to estimate the impacts of ICS on time spent
on cooking. The review and econometric estimation offer
consistent evidence that ICS can help households save time,
but the estimated savings vary across locations,
technologies, and study methods. Time savings (i) are
consistent across both rural and urban areas, (ii) are
greatest for fuel collection and preparation (rather than
cooking), (iii) accrue to both women and men, and (iv) are
highest for more advanced technologies and fuels (like
electricity, LPG, and biogas). Overall, our pooled
econometric estimates suggest that ICS use leads households
to save about 34 min per day. Our estimate is lower than the
average of estimates in the literature (68 min/day), but not
so different from the average among a lower cluster of
estimates (29 min/day). While our work illuminates
shortcomings inherent in current research on this topic, our
results constitute an important first step towards advancing
the practice of quantification of time savings from
household energy interventions.},

Title = {The effectiveness of protected areas in the context of
decentralization},
Journal = {World Development},
Volume = {142},
Year = {2021},
Month = {June},
url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.worlddev.2021.105446},
Abstract = {While protected areas (PA) remain a key conservation
strategy globally, their performance is likely shaped by the
socio-political context in which they exist. Although
decentralization is a good example of such a contextual
phenomenon in multiple locations globally, it is rare to
find quantitative empirical analyses of how it moderates PA
effectiveness. We evaluate how the decentralization in
Indonesia (proxied by the introduction of direct elections,
district head (bupati) change, and district splitting)
influenced PA effectiveness between 2000 and 2008. Focusing
on three outcomes - deforestation, forest fragmentation, and
fires, we apply a quasi-experimental approach to a carefully
constructed spatially explicit village-level panel dataset,
combined with geospatial biophysical and physio-geographic
data. We hypothesize that the moderating influence of
decentralization on PA effectiveness depends on whether
decentralization increased threats to forests, strengthened
local accountability, or weakened enforcement. On average,
we find direct elections improved the PA impact in terms of
reducing deforestation in protected villages, but had no
statistically significant effect on forest fragmentation,
fires, or leakage. On average, we find district splitting
increased forest fragmentation in the recently protected
villages, but had no statistically significant impact on
deforestation and fires. On average, we find the bupati
change had no statistically discernible influence on PA
impacts on deforestation, fragmentation or fires. Given the
increasing threats to forests due to decentralization, these
results imply that district splitting and the bupati change
weakened enforcement inside PAs with regards to
deforestation and forest fragmentation, in contrast to
direct elections. By highlighting the potential channels
through which decentralization in Indonesia impacted
forests, we offer insights into the effectiveness of a
common conservation policy in the country. Broadly, we
contribute to the conservation impact evaluation literature
by quantitatively examining how political economy influences
the performance of conservation policies.},

Abstract = {The sheer scope of the global energy poverty challenge has
motivated many organizations to promote off-grid solar
energy for lighting, heating, and cooking needs around the
world. However, the design and implementation of projects
depends on the enabling environment - a constellation of
financial, market, program, and regulatory factors. We
conducted a systematic review to examine which elements of
the enabling environment drove or blocked the adoption of
solar products such as, home systems, lanterns, hot water
heaters, and cooking products in low- and middle- income
countries (LMICs). Specifically, we identified 59 studies in
29 countries that consider different features of the
enabling environment and found the following empirical
regularities. First, at the household level, cost, therefore
subsidies, and product quality matter. Second, at the
program level, customer support and ongoing maintenance
influence sustained use. Third, at the government scale,
design standards and regulations affect adoption. However,
clear gaps emerge in what scholars have studied; for
example, we found no empirical literature on e-wastes or
demand by energy-access tiers. Nonetheless, the experiences
documented in this review show that a complex and
interconnected system of market, program, financial, and
regulatory challenges must be addressed to provide solar
technologies to the rural energy poor.},

Abstract = {Flooding is a frequent natural disaster, which is predicted
to intensify over time because of climate change. As more
than half the world lives in urban spaces, flooding could
devastate urban populations, especially if the
infrastructure to cope with flooding is inadequate. We study
flooding in Cuttack, Odisha, a typical Indian city subject
to annual flooding. We present estimates from a lower and
lower-middle income country of household willingness to pay
(WTP) for improved urban drainage using a revealed
preference method. We use a hedonic price model to estimate
WTP across city zones with differential exposure to
flooding. At 2014–15 prices, a typical flood
(approximately 7 hours per day on average) reduces the
annual rental value by INR1352 (US$ 21) or about 4.4%
annually. This implies that Cuttack households are willing
to pay INR 188 million (or $ 2.9 million) to avoid flooding.
Our findings have implications for urban sustainability and
the financing of public infrastructure to reduce flooding in
low and lower-middle-income countries.},

Abstract = {Energy has been called the “golden thread” that connects
economic growth, social equity and environmental
sustainability, but important knowledge gaps exist on the
impacts of low- and middle-income country energy
interventions and transitions. This study offers perhaps the
broadest characterization to date of the patterns and
consistency in quantitative and peer-reviewed social science
literature considering such impacts. Starting from
approximately 80,000 papers identified using a search
procedure organized along energy services, technology, and
impact dimensions, and structured to achieve breadth and
replicability, articles were first screened to yield a
relevant subset of 3,000 quantitative papers. Relevance is
defined as providing one or more types of impacts on
intra-household, household, firm, public service, national
economy, or environmental outcomes. A set of heat maps
highlights areas of concentration in the literature, namely
work that emphasizes the negative health and pollution
effects of traditional cooking and fossil fuel use. The
extent and consistency of evidence for different types of
impacts (in terms of direction and statistical significance)
is also discussed, which reveals considerable heterogeneity
and highlights important knowledge gaps that remain despite
rapidly expanding energy scholarship. The patterns of
evidence are also surprisingly consistent across methods.
The article concludes by articulating several research
challenges that should motivate current and future
generations of energy and development scholars.},

(REDD+) encompasses a range of incentives for developing
countries to slow, halt and reverse forest loss and
associated forest carbon emissions. Where there is high
dependence on biomass energy, cleaner cooking transitions
are key to REDD+'s success. Given the poor track record of
efforts to promote clean cooking, more evidence is needed on
the potential for REDD+ to reduce unsustainable extraction
of biomass energy. We present a quasi-experimental impact
evaluation of REDD+ in Nepal. Unsurprisingly, we find little
evidence of impacts on forest carbon in just two years. We
do find that REDD+ reduced forest disturbance as measured by
four plot-level indicators (signs of forest fire, soil
erosion, encroachment and wildlife) that are predictive of
future changes in net carbon emissions and reflective of
reduced extraction pressure by households. While our
analysis of household survey data does not show that REDD+
reduced harvest of forest products, we find some evidence
that it reduced household dependence on firewood for
cooking, possibly by increasing use of biogas. Thus,
communities in Nepal appear to have improved conditions in
their forests without undermining local benefits of those
forests. To secure progress towards reduced emissions and
improved livelihoods, interventions must be designed to
effectively meet household energy needs.},

that improvements in sanitation coverage can have large

nearly 46% in the group exposed to the intervention, and
that households largely held positive short-term views of
the effects of these technologies. Moreover, we found
evidence of both time savings and reductions in fuel use
among intervention households. Consistent with the wider

preferences help predict actual adoption: households
initially classified as uninterested are less likely to
purchase and use any new technology, while relative distaste
for pollution is linked to selection of a cleaner

preference heterogeneity has important implications for how

Abstract = {Rural electrification (RE) is a core component of the
Sustainable Development Goals and a major focal point of the
global development community. Despite this focus, more than
one billion people worldwide lack access to electricity, and
electrification rates need to more than quadruple to meet
international goals. We believe that lack of progress is
partly driven by a know-do gap, a misalignment between
academic research and the information needs of policy
makers. Most studies measuring the impacts of
electrification focus on precise estimation of a few
outcomes, specifically health, education and productivity
impacts. Other important impacts, e.g. environmental, have
remained largely unstudied. As a consequence, quantifying
the full set of costs and benefits of expanding electricity
access is difficult and rarely done. When cost benefit
analyses are done, they are often incomplete, and
conclusions are highly susceptible to unavailable or
uncertain parameters. We illustrate these arguments in the
case of Bhutan, where RE rates have expanded rapidly in the
past few decades. We show that RE via grid extension had
positive impacts related to fuelwood consumption, education,
and employment, but we do not find an effect on health. We
then use these impact estimates to conduct cost-benefit
analyses. For the cost-benefit parameters not available from
our impact evaluation, we transfer reasonable estimates from
related contexts. To acknowledge the uncertainty induced by
this process, we conduct Monte Carlo analyses and confirm
that, while the private NPV calculations are robust to
alternative parameter values, the social returns are
sensitive to estimates of the social cost of carbon and
costs of grid operation and maintenance. Based on this
exercise, we highlight research gaps that persist and that
preclude 1) careful cost-benefit analysis of RE more
generally and 2) financial investment in the
sector.},

households' private health benefits from mitigating
diarrheal (respiratory) disease risks are higher (no
different) when community-level air pollution risks, rather
than community-level water pollution risks, have previously
been mitigated. This asymmetric response cannot fully be

community-led total sanitation campaign in rural

India worked with researchers to evaluate a community-led
total sanitation campaign, which aimed to increase the
demand for household latrines by raising awareness of the
social costs of poor sanitation. The intervention ran from
February to March 2006 in 20 randomly-selected villages and
20 control villages. Within sampled villages, we surveyed a
random subset of households (around 28 households per
village) at baseline in 2005 and over the subsequent 10-year
period. We analysed changes in latrine ownership, latrine
functionality and open defecation among approximately 1000
households. We estimated linear probability models that
examined differences between households in intervention and
control villages in 2006, 2010 and 2016.<h4>Findings</h4>In
2010, 4 years after the intervention, ownership of latrines
was significantly higher (29.3 percentage points; 95%
confidence interval, CI: 17.5 to 41.2) and open defecation
was significantly lower (-6.8 percentage points; 95% CI:
-13.1 to -1.0) among households in intervention villages,
relative to controls. In 2016, intervention households
continued to have higher rates of ever owning a latrine
(26.3 percentage points; 95% CI: 20.9 to 31.8). However,
latrine functionality and open defecation were no longer
different across groups, due to both acquisition of latrines
by control households and abandonment and deterioration of
latrines in intervention homes.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Future
research should investigate how to maintain and rehabilitate
latrines and how to sustain long-term behaviour
change.},

Abstract = {Improved cookstoves (ICS) can deliver "triple wins" by
improving household health, local environments, and global
climate. Yet their potential is in doubt because of low and
slow diffusion, likely because of constraints imposed by
differences in culture, geography, institutions, and missing
markets. We offer insights about this challenge based on a
multiyear, multiphase study with nearly 1,000 households in
the Indian Himalayas. In phase I, we combined desk reviews,
simulations, and focus groups to diagnose barriers to ICS
adoption. In phase II, we implemented a set of pilots to
simulate a mature market and designed an intervention that
upgraded the supply chain (combining marketing and home
delivery), provided rebates and financing to lower income
and liquidity constraints, and allowed households a choice
among ICS. In phase III, we used findings from these pilots
to implement a field experiment to rigorously test whether
this combination of upgraded supply and demand promotion
stimulates adoption. The experiment showed that, compared
with zero purchase in control villages, over half of
intervention households bought an ICS, although demand was
highly price-sensitive. Demand was at least twice as high
for electric stoves relative to biomass ICS. Even among
households that received a negligible price discount, the
upgraded supply chain alone induced a 28 percentage-point
increase in ICS ownership. Although the bundled intervention
is resource-intensive, the full costs are lower than the
social benefits of ICS promotion. Our findings suggest that
market analysis, robust supply chains, and price discounts
are critical for ICS diffusion.},

the long-term, offsite impacts of depletion are ignored. By
examining the case of tropical forest burning, we illustrate
such myopia: Pursuit of short-term economic gains results in
air pollution that causes long-term, irreversible health
impacts. We integrate longitudinal data on prenatal exposure
to the 1997 Indonesian forest fires with child nutritional
outcomes and find that mean exposure to air pollution during
the prenatal stage is associated with a half-SD decrease in
height-for-age <i>z</i> score at age 17, which is robust to
several statistical checks. Because adult height is
associated with income, this implies a loss of 4% of average
monthly wages for approximately one million Indonesian
workers born during this period. To put these human capital
losses in the context of policy making, we conduct social
cost-benefit analyses of oil palm plantations under
different scenarios for clearing land and controlling fires.
We find that clearing for oil palm plantations using
mechanical methods generates higher social net benefits
compared with clearing using fires. Oil palm producers,
however, would be unwilling to bear the higher private costs
of mechanical clearing. Therefore, we need more effective
fire bans, fire suppression, and moratoriums on oil palm in
Indonesia to protect natural and human capital, and increase
social welfare.},

Abstract = {Agricultural expansion into tropical forests is believed to
bring local economic benefits at the expense of global
environmental costs. The resulting tension is reflected in
Brazilian government policy. The national agrarian reform
program has settled farm families in the Amazon region since
the 1970s, with the expectation that they will clear forests
in order to farm the land. On the other hand, recent
Brazilian policy initiatives seek to reduce deforestation to
mitigate climate change. We contribute to the policy debate
that surrounds these dual goals for the Amazon by estimating
the marginal effects of new agricultural land on the full
income and assets of farm settlers over a 13-year period
from 1996 to 2009. Using micro panel data from agrarian
settlements where forest was being rapidly cleared, and
controlling for factors that would otherwise confound the
relationship, we estimate the effect of converting forest to
agriculture on total household income to estimate the
opportunity cost of conserving forest. Our measure of income
reflects any re-allocation of resources by utility
maximizing households and any productivity effects due to
loss of forest ecosystem services. The estimated effect of
new agricultural land on income is positive, but small
relative to the income per hectare of previously cleared
land. However, we show that income increases investment in
physical assets, which raises households’ income
generating capacity and future accumulation of assets. Thus,
while there is only a small immediate income gain from
clearing more forest, the long-term effects on wealth are
still substantial. This demonstrates that given the right
conditions, conversion of forest to agricultural land can be
an impetus for asset accumulation by smallholders. It also
highlights the importance of considering the indirect and
long-term welfare benefits of new agricultural land when
assessing the opportunity costs of forest
conservation.},

Abstract = {Human interactions with the environment can profoundly
impact many outcomes – health being chief among them.
While the nature of environmental risks changes across time
and space, the burden of disease attributable to
environmental risk hovers stubbornly around one quarter of
the total global disease burden. Further, environmental
risks are particularly damaging to the health of children,
but also to the elderly and the impoverished in low and
middle income countries (LMICs). This chapter highlights the
ways in which economics provides analytical insight about
the human–environment relationship and about potential
ways to prevent diseases. Specifically, we contend that the
household production framework – which focuses on the
beneficiary and households – helps us understand when and
how households will avert environmental risks. While
economists have been mostly on the sidelines of
environmental health research, there is a growing literature
from LMICs that examines three aspects of reduction in
household environmental risks: (i) how households value
these risk reductions, (ii) what factors drive household
adoption of environmental health technologies, and (iii)
what are the impacts of these technologies on household
health. At the risk of simplification, our review of this
literature finds relatively low values for environmental
risk reductions, which is mirrored by limited adoption of
environmental health technologies and, accordingly,
disappointing impact on health. Economists have made less
progress in linking the literatures on valuation, adoption
and impacts with each other. We conclude by explaining why
the next wave of research should focus on these links and on
multiple risks, environmental disasters, and political
economy of the supply of interventions.},

proven challenging to develop. Questions from
decision-makers and limitations of existing decision-support

incorporating cutting-edge ES science into decision-support

(3) determining the potential for technology to substitute

stoves, carry the promise of improving health outcomes,
preserving local environments, and reducing climate-forcing
air pollutants. However, low adoption and use of these
stoves in many settings has limited their benefits. We aimed
to improve the understanding of improved stove use by
describing the patterns and predictors of adoption of a
semi-gasifier stove and processed biomass fuel intervention
in southwestern China. Of 113 intervention homes
interviewed, 79% of homes tried the stove, and the majority
of these (92%) continued using it 5-10 months later. One to
five months after intervention, the average proportion of
days that the semi-gasifier stove was in use was modest
(40.4% [95% CI 34.3-46.6]), and further declined over 13
months. Homes that received the stove in the first batch
used it more frequently (67.2% [95% CI 42.1-92.3] days in
use) than homes that received it in the second batch (29.3%
[95% CI 13.8-44.5] days in use), likely because of stove
quality and user training. Household stove use was
positively associated with reported cooking needs and
negatively associated with age of the main cook, household
socioeconomic status, and the availability of substitute
cleaner-burning stoves. Our results show that even a
carefully engineered, multi-purpose semi-gasifier stove and
fuel intervention contributed modestly to overall household
energy use in rural China.},

Abstract = {We examine the role of subnational institutions in carbon
sequestration and assess whether community forest user
groups can meet both existing forest needs and international
carbon demand. By conducting a qualitative evaluation of a
pilot program in Nepal that made carbon payments to forest
user groups, we examine if community forestry institutions
can be effective, efficient, and equitable in implementing
Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation
(REDD)+. Our evaluation relies on focus group discussions,
meetings, and community and program documents of forestry
user groups that participated in the REDD+ pilot and matched
groups that did not. Compared to control groups, REDD+ user
groups appear to be more effective in carbon sequestration,
perhaps because of increased prevention of forest fires and
grazing, nursery establishment, and other forest management.
REDD+ user groups report a larger number of forest
conservation, forest utilization, and community development
activities relative to control groups. Participating
communities bear transaction costs of US$4.5/hectare and
implementation costs of US$2.5/hectare on average (or NPR
50,000 (US$600) per year). The mean REDD+ rent per ton of
additional carbon sequestered was US$1.3. Targeting of
benefits improves partly because some marginalized groups,
particularly women, participate more in the planning and
management. In terms of equity, microcredit and capacity
development activities were skewed to the poorest
households, whereas alternate fuel and carbon monitoring
were more advantageous to middle or high income households.
Overall, our analyses suggest that REDD+ activities can be
successfully executed, if communities receive technical and
capacity building support for institutional strengthening,
in addition to carbon payments.},

Abstract = {Although several factors contribute to low rates of access
to improved water and sanitation in the developing world, it
is especially important to understand and measure household
demand for these services. One valuable source of
information regarding demand is the growing empirical
literature that has applied stated preference methods to
estimate households’ willingness to pay (WTP). Because it
is difficult to generalize and support planning based on
this scattered literature, we conduct a meta-analysis to
take stock of the worldwide sample of household WTP for
improved drinking water services. Using 171 WTP estimates
drawn from 60 studies, we first describe this sample and
then examine the potential factors that explain variation in
WTP estimates. Our results suggest that households are
willing to pay between approximately $3 and $30 per month
for improvements in water access. Specifically, in line with
economic theory and intuition, WTP is sensitive to scope
(the magnitude of improvement in drinking water services),
as well as household income, and stated-preference
elicitation method. We demonstrate how our results can be
used to predict household-level WTP for selected
improvements in drinking water access in regions with low
coverage, and find that private benefits exceed the cost of
provision.},

examines: (i) the links between specific conservation
actions and the resulting ecological changes, and (ii) how
this ecological change impacts human health and well-being,
when human behaviours are considered. Drawing on the policy
evaluation tradition in public economics, first, we present
three examples of recent social science research on
conservation interventions that affect human health. These
examples are from low- and middle-income countries in the
tropics and subtropics. Second, drawing on these examples,
we present three propositions related to impact evaluation
and non-market valuation that can help guide future
multidisciplinary research on conservation and human health.
Research guided by these propositions will allow
stakeholders to determine how ecosystem-mediated strategies
for health promotion compare with more conventional
biomedical prevention and treatment strategies for

Abstract = {Climate change mitigation in developing countries is
increasingly expected to generate co-benefits that help meet
sustainable development goals. This has been an expectation
and a hotly contested issue in REDD+ (reducing emissions
from deforestation and forest degradation) since its
inception. While the core purpose of REDD+ is to reduce
carbon emissions, its legitimacy and success also depend on
its impacts on local well-being. To effectively safeguard
against negative impacts, we need to know whether and which
well-being outcomes can be attributed to REDD+. Yet,
distinguishing the effects of choosing particular areas for
REDD+ from the effects of the interventions themselves
remains a challenge. The Global Comparative Study (GCS) on
REDD+ employed a quasi-experimental before-after-control-intervention
(BACI) study design to address this challenge and evaluate
the impacts of 16 REDD+ pilots across the tropics. We find
that the GCS approach allows identification of control
groups that represent the counterfactual, thereby permitting
attribution of outcomes to REDD+. The GCS experience belies
many of the common critiques of the BACI design, especially
concerns about collecting baseline data on control groups.
Our findings encourage and validate the early planning and
up-front investments required to evaluate the local impacts
of global climate change mitigation efforts with confidence.
The stakes are high, both for the global environment and for
local populations directly affected by those efforts. The
standards for evidence should be concomitantly
high.},

examined associations between traditional or improved stove
use and primary outcomes, stratifying households by
proximity to major industrial plants. ICS use was associated
with 91% reduced use of firewood (p < 0.01), substantial
time savings for primary cooks, a 72% reduction in PM2.5, a
78% reduction in PAH levels, and significant reductions in
water-soluble organic carbon and nitrogen (p < 0.01) in
household air samples. ICS use was associated with reduced
time in the hospital with acute respiratory infection and
reduced diastolic blood pressure but not with other health

rural biogas stoves in a context in which traditional stove
use persists, although pollution levels in ICS households
still remained above WHO guidelines.},

emerged as a major concern for global health and development
because of the enormous burden of disease caused by
traditional cookstoves and fires. The World Health
Organization has developed new indoor air quality guidelines
that few homes will be able to achieve without replacing
traditional methods with modern clean cooking technologies,
including fuels and stoves. However, decades of experience
with improved stove programs indicate that the challenge of
modernizing cooking in impoverished communities includes a
complex, multi-sectoral set of problems that require
implementation research. The National Institutes of Health,
in partnership with several government agencies and the
Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, has launched the Clean
Cooking Implementation Science Network that aims to address
this issue. In this article, our focus is on building a
knowledge base to accelerate scale-up and sustained use of
the cleanest technologies in low- and middle-income
countries. Implementation science provides a variety of
analytical and planning tools to enhance effectiveness of
clinical and public health interventions. These tools are
being integrated with a growing body of knowledge and new
research projects to yield new methods, consensus tools, and
an evidence base to accelerate improvements in health

Abstract = {Water purification might be the most frequently invoked
example of an economically valuable ecosystem service, yet
the impacts of upstream land use on downstream municipal
water treatment costs remain poorly understood. This is
especially true in developing countries, where rates of
deforestation are highest and cost-effective expansion of
safe water supplies is needed the most. We present the first
econometric study to estimate directly the effect of
tropical forests on water treatment cost. We exploit a rich
panel dataset from Malaysia, which enables us to control for
a wide range of potentially confounding factors. We find
significant, robust evidence that protecting both virgin and
logged forests against conversion to nonforest land uses
reduced water treatment costs, with protection of virgin
forests reducing costs more. The marginal value of this
water purification service varied greatly across treatment
plants, thus implying that the service offered a stronger
rationale for forest protection in some locations than
others. On average, the service value was large relative to
treatment plants’ expenditures on priced inputs, but it
was very small compared to producer surpluses for competing
land uses. For various reasons, however, the latter
comparison exaggerates the shortfall between the benefits
and the costs of enhancing water purification by protecting
forests. Moreover, forest protection decisions that appear
to be economically unjustified when only water purification
is considered might be justified when a broader range of
services is taken into account.},

Abstract = {Despite widespread global efforts to promote clean
cookstoves to achieve improvements in air and forest
quality, and to reduce global climate change, surprisingly
little is known about the degree to which these actually
reduce biomass fuel consumption in real-world settings.
Using data from in-house weighing of fuel conducted in rural
India, we examine the impact of cleaner cookstoves - most of
which are LPG stoves - on three key outcomes related to
solid fuel use. Our results suggest that using a clean
cookstove is associated with daily reductions of about 4.5.
kg of biomass fuel, 160 fewer minutes cooking on traditional
stoves, and 105 fewer minutes collecting biomass fuels.
These findings of substantial savings are robust to the use
of estimators with varying levels of control for selection,
and to alternative data obtained from household
self-reports. Our results support the idea that efforts to
promote clean stoves among poor rural households can reduce
solid fuel use and cooking time, and that rebound effects
toward greater amounts of cooking on multiple stoves are not
sufficient to eliminate these gains. We also find, however,
that households who have greater wealth, fewer members, are
in less marginalized groups, and practice other
health-averting behaviors, are more likely to use these
cleaner stoves, which suggests that socio-economic status
plays an important role in determining who benefits from
such technologies. Future efforts to capture social benefits
must therefore consider how to promote the use of
alternative technologies by poor households, given that
these households are least likely to own clean
stoves.},

effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) at conserving
mangroves and reducing blue carbon emissions. We focus on
Indonesia as it has the largest absolute area of mangroves
(about 22.6% of the world's mangroves), is one of the most
diverse in terms of mangrove species and has been losing its
mangroves at a very fast rate. Specifically, we apply
quasi-experimental techniques (combining propensity score
and covariate matching, differences-in-differences, and
post-matching bias adjustments) to assess whether PAs
prevented mangrove loss between 2000 and 2010. Our results
show that marine protected areas reduced mangrove loss by
about 14,000ha and avoided blue carbon emissions of
approximately 13 million metric tons (CO2 equivalent).
However, we find no evidence that species management PAs
stalled the loss of mangroves. We conclude by providing
illustrative estimates of the blue carbon benefits of
establishing PAs, which can be cost-effective policies for
mitigating climate change and biodiversity
loss.},

Abstract = {Because emissions from solid fuel burning in traditional
stoves impact global climate change, the regional
environment, and household health, there is today real
interest in improved cook stoves (ICS). Nonetheless,
surprisingly little is known about what households like
about these energy products. We report on preferences for
biomass-burning ICS attributes in a large sample of 2120
rural households in north India, a global hotspot for
biomass fuel use and the damages that such use entails.
Households have a strong baseline reliance and preference
for traditional stoves, a preference that outweighs the $10
and $5 willingness to pay (WTP) for realistic (33%)
reductions in smoke emissions and fuel needs on average,
respectively. Preferences for stove attributes are also
highly varied, and correlated with a number of household
characteristics (e.g. expenditures, gender of household
head, patience and risk preferences). These results suggest
that households exhibit cautious interest in some aspects of
ICS, but that widespread adoption is unlikely because many
households appear to prefer traditional stoves over ICS with
similar characteristics. The policy community must therefore
support a reinvigorated supply chain with complementary
infrastructure investments, foster experimentation with
products, encourage continued applied research and knowledge
generation, and provide appropriate incentives to consumers,
if ICS distribution is to be scaled up.},

Second, the use and maintenance of latrines in the area
remained unsatisfactory despite adequate water availability,

in control villages during the study period. In order to
assess the impact of the sanitation intervention on

welfare measures, a repeated-measures cohort design was
implemented. Qualitatively, treatment villages appear to be
slightly worse off initially in terms of a few indicators,
treatment villages had somewhat lower levels of population
density and of TVs and, most notably, latrines in 2005.
Adults in these households also reported spending more time
walking to defecation sites and expressed lower levels of
satisfaction with their sanitation conditions. The Bhadrak
sanitation campaign placed much emphasis on the non-health
benefits of latrine use. In particular, messages about
latrines' convenience highlighted the potential time savings

Abstract = {Scholars have made great advances in modeling and mapping
ecosystem services, and in assigning economic values to
these services. This modeling and valuation scholarship is
often disconnected from evidence about how actual
conservation programs have affected ecosystem services,
however. Without a stronger evidence base, decision makers
find it difficult to use the insights from modeling and
valuation to design effective policies and programs. To
strengthen the evidence base, scholars have advanced our
understanding of the causal pathways between conservation
actions and environmental outcomes, but their studies
measure impacts on imperfect proxies for ecosystem services
(e.g., avoidance of deforestation). To be useful to decision
makers, these impacts must be translated into changes in
ecosystem services and values. To illustrate how this
translation can be done, we estimated the impacts of
protected areas in Brazil, Costa Rica, Indonesia, and
Thailand on carbon storage in forests. We found that
protected areas in these conservation hotspots have stored
at least an additional 1,000 Mt of CO2 in forests and have
delivered ecosystem services worth at least $5 billion. This
aggregate impact masks important spatial heterogeneity,
however. Moreover, the spatial variability of impacts on
carbon storage is the not the same as the spatial
variability of impacts on avoided deforestation. These
findings lead us to describe a research program that extends
our framework to study other ecosystem services, to uncover
the mechanisms by which ecosystem protection benefits
humans, and to tie cost-benefit analyses to conservation
planning so that we can obtain the greatest return on scarce
conservation funds.},

Title = {Do Decentralized Community Treatment Plants Provide Better
Water? Evidence from Andhra Pradesh},
Year = {2015},
Month = {April},
Abstract = {Highly advanced, community-level drinking water treatment
facilities are increasingly seen as water supply solutions
in locations where piped in-house water systems are
nonexistent or unreliable. These systems utilize combined
technologies, such as advanced filtration plus ultraviolet
disinfection or reverse osmosis, which are known to be
highly effective for the removal of pathogens and other
water contaminants. Yet there is a paucity of rigorous
evidence on whether the community-level treatment model
delivers water quality, health, or other benefits to
households that source water from them. This paper utilizes
a quasi-experimental approach that combines construction of
counterfactual groups of villages and households and a
difference-in-difference methodology to examine such
impacts. We find low rates of sourcing water from the
facilities (~10%), and little evidence of benefits among
households living in villages receiving a community water
system (CWS). Particularly among users of the CWS, we also
observe short-term increases in the number of drinking water
sources used and in monthly expenses on drinking water
combined with decreases in in-house water treatment, and
higher reported rates of diarrheal diseases among children.
In the longer term, as the CWS model spread throughout the
region, we observe that most of the differences between
households in treated and control communities fade away.
These findings suggest that caution and additional scrutiny
is warranted before concluding that such systems provide
safer water to households in communities facing drinking
water quality problems.},

Abstract = {Environmental health problems such as malaria, respiratory
infections, diarrhoea and malnutrition pose very high
burdens on the poor rural people in much of the tropics.
Recent research on key interventions-the adoption and use of
relatively cheap and effective environmental health
technologies-has focused primarily on the influence of
demand-side household-level drivers. Relatively few studies
of the promotion and use of these technologies have
considered the role of contextual factors such as
governance, the enabling environment and national policies
because of the challenges of cross-country comparisons. We
exploit a natural experimental setting by comparing
household adoption across the Benin-Togo national border
that splits the Tamberma Valley in West Africa. Households
across the border share the same culture, ethnicity,
weather, physiographic features, livelihoods and
infrastructure; however, they are located in countries at
virtually opposite ends of the institutional spectrum of
democratic elections, voice and accountability, effective
governance and corruption. Binary choice models and rigorous
non-parametric matching estimators confirm that households
in Benin are more likely than households in Togo to plant
soybeans, build improved cookstoves and purchase mosquito
nets, ceteris paribus. Although we cannot identify the exact
mechanism for the large and significant national-level
differences in technology adoption, our findings suggest
that contextual institutional factors can be more important
than household characteristics for technology
adoption.},

Abstract = {Quasi-experimental methods increasingly are used to evaluate
the impacts of conservation interventions by generating
credible estimates of counterfactual baselines. These
methods generally require large samples for statistical
comparisons, presenting a challenge for evaluating
innovative policies implemented within a few pioneering
jurisdictions. Single jurisdictions often are studied using
comparative methods, which rely on analysts' selection of
best case comparisons. The synthetic control method (SCM)
offers one systematic and transparent way to select cases
for comparison, from a sizeable pool, by focusing upon
similarity in outcomes before the intervention. We explain
SCM, then apply it to one local initiative to limit
deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. The municipality of
Paragominas launched a multi-pronged local initiative in
2008 to maintain low deforestation while restoring economic
production. This was a response to having been placed, due
to high deforestation, on a federal "blacklist" that
increased enforcement of forest regulations and restricted
access to credit and output markets. The local initiative
included mapping and monitoring of rural land plus promotion
of economic alternatives compatible with low deforestation.
The key motivation for the program may have been to reduce
the costs of blacklisting. However its stated purpose was to
limit deforestation, and thus we apply SCM to estimate what
deforestation would have been in a (counterfactual) scenario
of no local initiative. We obtain a plausible estimate, in
that deforestation patterns before the intervention were
similar in Paragominas and the synthetic control, which
suggests that after several years, the initiative did lower
deforestation (significantly below the synthetic control in
2012). This demonstrates that SCM can yield helpful land-use
counterfactuals for single units, with opportunities to
integrate local and expert knowledge and to test innovations
and permutations on policies that are implemented in just a
few locations.},

the wellbeing of rural households who receive the payments.
However, evidence for such win-win outcomes has been
elusive. We add to the growing literature on conservation
program impacts by using primary household survey data to
evaluate the socioeconomic impacts of participation in Costa
Rica's PES program. Despite the substantial cash transfers
to voluntary participants in this program, we do not detect
any evidence of impacts on their wealth or self-reported
well-being using a quasi-experimental design. These results
are consistent with the common claim that voluntary PES do
not harm participants, but they beg the question of why
landowners participate if they do not benefit. Landowners in
our sample voluntarily renewed their contracts after five
years in the program and thus are unlikely to have
underestimated their costs of participation. They apparently
did not invest additional income from the program in farm
inputs such as cattle or hired labor, since both decreased
as a result of participation. Nor do we find evidence that
participation encouraged moves off-farm. Instead,
semi-structured interviews suggest that participants joined
the program to secure their property rights and contribute
to the public good of forest conservation. Thus, in order to
understand the social impacts of PES, we need to look beyond
simple economic rationales and material outcomes.},

evaluate the performance of the FSC-certified timber

Employing triple difference matching estimators, we find
that between 2000 and 2008 FSC reduced aggregate
deforestation by 5 percentage points and the incidence of
air pollution by 31%. It had no statistically significant
impacts on fire incidence or core areas, but increased
forest perforation by 4 km2 on average. In addition, we find
that FSC reduced firewood dependence (by 33%), respiratory
infections (by 32%) and malnutrition (by 1 person) on
average. By conducting a rigorous statistical evaluation of
FSC certification in a biodiversity hotspot such as
Indonesia, we provide a reference point and offer
methodological and data lessons that could aid the design of

their adoption and use remains low. Social marketing-with
its focus on the marketing mix of promotion, product, price,

We report on a series of pilots across 3 Indian states that
use different combinations of the marketing mix. We find
sales varying from 0% to 60%. Behavior change promotion that
combined door-to-door personalized demonstrations with
information pamphlets was effective. When given a choice
amongst products, households strongly preferred an electric
stove over improved biomass-burning options. Among different
stove attributes, reduced cooking time was considered most
valuable by those adopting a new stove. Households clearly
identified price as a significant barrier to adoption, while
provision of discounts (e.g., rebates given if households
used the stove) or payments in installments were related to
higher purchase. Place-based factors such as remoteness and
nongovernmental organization operations significantly
affected the ability to supply and convince households to
buy and use improved cookstoves. Collectively, these pilots
point to the importance of continued and extensive testing
of messages, pricing models, and different stove types
before scale-up. Thus, we caution that a one-size-fits-all

random-effects and quantile regression models of disease

negatively correlated with the area under strict

Conservation scenarios based on estimated regression results
suggest that malaria, ARI, and diarrhea incidence would be

Health Improvements: Evidence from a Cookstove Promotion
Experiment},
Year = {2014},
Month = {September},
Abstract = {Household preferences should influence adoption of
environmental health-improving technologies, but there has
been limited empirical research to isolate their importance,
perhaps due to challenges of measurement and attribution.
This paper explores heterogeneity in household preferences
for different features of improved cookstoves (ICS) and
assesses the degree to which these preferences are
associated with actual adoption of electric and
biomass-burning cookstoves during a randomized stove
promotion campaign in northern India. Latent class analysis
of data from a discrete choice experiment conducted in
baseline surveys of 1,060 households identified three
preference types: disinterested (54%), low demand but
primarily interested in reduced smoke emissions (27%), and
high demand with interest in most features of the ICS (20%).
The ICS intervention, which was stratified according to
communities’ prior history of interactions with the NGO
marketing the stoves, was then randomized to 762 of these
households. The main findings are that households in the
disinterested class are less likely to purchase an ICS, that
preference class is more strongly related to stove purchase
than common sociodemographic drivers of technology adoption
identified in the literature, and that distaste for smoke
emissions appears to be a particularly strong driver for
adoption of an electric ICS.},

varied and are related to household characteristics (e.g.,
expenditures, gender of household head, patience, and risk

cautious interest in the promise of ICS but that significant
barriers to achieving widespread adoption remain. Therefore

Although social marketing in these areas is growing, there
has been no systematic review of the current state of

literature for published peer-reviewed studies available

manuscripts in the health, social science, and business

4 Ps of marketing and had a behavioral objective targeting
the behaviors or products related to improving water and

applied them in identifying articles for review. We
initially identified 117 articles and reviewed a final set

widespread strategy. Marketing efforts have created high
levels of awareness of health threats and solutions,
including behavior change and socially marketed products.
There is widespread use of the 4 Ps of marketing, with price
interventions being the least common. Evaluations show
consistent improvements in behavioral mediators but mixed
results in behavior change. Interventions have successfully
used social marketing following widely recommended
strategies. Future evaluations need to focus on mediators
that explain successful behavior change in order to identify
best practices and improve future programs. More rigorous
evaluations including quasi-experimental designs and
randomized trials are needed. More consistent reporting of
evaluation results that permits meta-analysis of effects is

Abstract = {Improved cook stoves (ICS) have been widely touted for their
potential to deliver the triple benefits of improved
household health and time savings, reduced deforestation and
local environmental degradation, and reduced emissions of
black carbon, a significant short-term contributor to global
climate change. Yet diffusion of ICS technologies among
potential users in many low-income settings, including
India, remains slow, despite decades of promotion. This
paper explores the variation in perceptions of and
preferences for ICS in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, as
revealed through a series of semi-structured focus groups
and interviews from 11 rural villages or hamlets. We find
cautious interest in new ICS technologies, and observe that
preferences for ICS are positively related to perceptions of
health and time savings. Other respondent and community
characteristics, e.g., gender, education, prior experience
with clean stoves and institutions promoting similar
technologies, and social norms as perceived through the
actions of neighbours, also appear important. Though they
cannot be considered representative, our results suggest
that efforts to increase adoption and use of ICS in rural
India will likely require a combination of supply-chain
improvements and carefully designed social marketing and
promotion campaigns, and possibly incentives, to reduce the
up-front cost of stoves.},

Abstract = {National parks and other protected areas are at the
forefront of global efforts to protect biodiversity and
ecosystem services. However, not all protection is equal.
Some areas are assigned strict legal protection that permits
few extractive human uses. Other protected area designations
permit a wider range of uses. Whether strictly protected
areas are more effective in achieving environmental
objectives is an empirical question: although strictly
protected areas legally permit less anthropogenic
disturbance, the social conflicts associated with assigning
strict protection may lead politicians to assign strict
protection to less-threatened areas and may lead citizens or
enforcement agents to ignore the strict legal restrictions.
We contrast the impacts of strictly and less strictly
protected areas in four countries using IUCN designations to
measure de jure strictness, data on deforestation to measure
outcomes, and a quasi-experimental design to estimate
impacts. On average, stricter protection reduced
deforestation rates more than less strict protection, but
the additional impact was not always large and sometimes
arose because of where stricter protection was assigned
rather than regulatory strictness per se. We also show that,
in protected area studies contrasting y management regimes,
there are y2 policy-relevant impacts, rather than only y, as
earlier studies have implied. © 2013 IOP Publishing

Abstract = {Over 5 billion people worldwide are exposed to unsafe water.
Given the obstacles to ensuring sustainable improvements in
water supply infrastructure and the unhygienic handling of
water after collection, household water treatment and
storage (HWTS) products have been viewed as important
mechanisms for increasing access to safe water. Although
studies have shown that HWTS technologies can reduce the
likelihood of diarrheal illness by about 30%, levels of
adoption and continued use remain low. An understanding of
household preferences for HWTS products can be used to
create demand through effective product positioning and
social marketing, and ultimately improve and ensure
commercial sustainability and scalability of these products.
However, there has been little systematic research on
consumer preferences for HWTS products. This paper reports
the results of the first state-of-the-art conjoint analysis
study of HWTS products. In 2008, we conducted a conjoint
analysis survey of a representative sample of households in
Andhra Pradesh (AP), India to elicit and quantify household
preferences for commercial HWTS products. Controlling for
attribute non-attendance in an error components mixed logit
model, the study results indicate that the most important
features to respondents, in terms of the effect on utility,
were the type of product, followed by the extent to which
the product removes pathogens, the retail outlet and, the
time required to treat 10 L. Holding all other product
attributes constant, filters were preferred to combination
products and chemical additives. Department stores and
weekly markets were the most favorable sales outlets,
followed by mobile salespeople. In general, households do
not prefer to purchase HWTS products at local shops. Our
results can inform the types of products and sales outlets
that are likely to be successful in commercial HWTS markets
in AP, as well as the influence of different pricing and
financing strategies on product demand and
uptake.},

Abstract = {<h4>Background</h4>The global focus on improved cookstoves
(ICSs) and clean fuels has increased because of their
potential for delivering triple dividends: household health,
local environmental quality, and regional climate benefits.
However, ICS and clean fuel dissemination programs have met
with low rates of adoption.<h4>Objectives</h4>We reviewed
empirical studies on ICSs and fuel choice to describe the
literature, examine determinants of fuel and stove choice,
and identify knowledge gaps.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a
systematic review of the literature on the adoption of ICSs
or cleaner fuels by households in developing countries.
Results are synthesized through a simple vote-counting
meta-analysis.<h4>Results</h4>We identified 32 research
studies that reported 146 separate regression analyses of
ICS adoption (11 analyses) or fuel choice (135 analyses)
from Asia (60%), Africa (27%), and Latin America (19%). Most
studies apply multivariate regression methods to consider
7-13 determinants of choice. Income, education, and urban
location were positively associated with adoption in most
but not all studies. However, the influence of fuel
availability and prices, household size and composition, and
sex is unclear. Potentially important drivers such as
credit, supply-chain strengthening, and social marketing
have been ignored.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Adoption studies of
ICSs or clean energy are scarce, scattered, and of
differential quality, even though global distribution
programs are quickly expanding. Future research should
examine an expanded set of contextual variables to improve
implementation of stove programs that can realize the
"win-win-win" of health, local environmental quality, and
climate associated with these technologies.},

Abstract = {Current attention to improved cook stoves (ICS) focuses on
the "triple benefits" they provide, in improved health and
time savings for households, in preservation of forests and
associated ecosystem services, and in reducing emissions
that contribute to global climate change. Despite the
purported economic benefits of such technologies, however,
progress in achieving large-scale adoption and use has been
remarkably slow. This paper uses Monte Carlo simulation
analysis to evaluate the claim that households will always
reap positive and large benefits from the use of such
technologies. Our analysis allows for better understanding
of the variability in economic costs and benefits of ICS use
in developing countries, which depend on unknown
combinations of numerous uncertain parameters. The model
results suggest that the private net benefits of ICS will
sometimes be negative, and in many instances highly so.
Moreover, carbon financing and social subsidies may help
enhance incentives to adopt, but will not always be
appropriate. The costs and benefits of these technologies
are most affected by their relative fuel costs, time and
fuel use efficiencies, the incidence and cost-of-illness of
acute respiratory illness, and the cost of household cooking
time. Combining these results with the fact that households
often find these technologies to be inconvenient or
culturally inappropriate leads us to understand why uptake
has been disappointing. Given the current attention to the
scale up of ICS, this analysis is timely and important for
highlighting some of the challenges for global efforts to
promote ICS.},

increased access to woodfuel through planting of trees and
forest management; improved cooking technologies; and access
to electricity and motive energy. The report's main finding
is that energy interventions can have significant gender
benefits, which can be realized via careful design and
targeting of interventions based on a context-specific
understanding of energy scarcity and household
decision-making, in particular how women's preferences,
opportunity cost of time, and welfare are reflected in
household energy decisions. The report focuses on the
academic peer-reviewed literature and, although it applies
fairly inclusive screening criteria when selecting the
evidence to consider, finds that the evidence on many of the
energy-gender linkages is often limited. There is thus a
clear need for studies to evaluate interventions and
identify key design elements for gender-sensitive project

Abstract = {In remote areas of developing countries, people's health and
livelihoods are closely intertwined with the condition of
the natural environment. Unfortunately, claims regarding the
role of ecosystem degradation on disease outcomes rest on a
short list of rigorous empirical studies that consider
social, cultural and economic factors that underpin both
ecosystem disruptions and behaviors related to exposure,
prevention and treatment of diseases such as malaria. As the
human ecological tradition suggests, omitting behaviors can
lead to erroneous interpretations regarding the nature of
the relationship between ecological changes and disease. We
specify and test the relationship between child malaria
prevalence and forest conditions in a quasi-experimental
setting of buffer zone villages around a protected area,
which was established to conserve biodiversity on Flores,
Indonesia. Multivariate probit regressions are used to
examine this conservation and health hypothesis, controlling
for several individual, family and community variables that
could confound this hypothesized link. We find that the
extent of primary (protected) forest is negatively
associated with child malaria, while the extent of secondary
(disturbed) forest cover is positively correlated with child
malaria, all else equal. This finding emphasizes the natural
insurance value of conservation because children are both
especially vulnerable to changes in environmental risks and
key players in the future growth and prosperity of a
society.},

Abstract = {Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate
whether mining can serve as a pathway for economic
development despite the environmental externalities. The
extensive literature on the “resource curse” phenomenon
at the national level generally finds that economic
dependence on mineral resources is associated with lower
levels of economic growth. This paper shows that further
insight can be obtained by studying microlevel resource
curse because of heterogeneity in institutions, natural
resources and economic behaviors. Design/methodology/approach
– The paper empirically tests the resource curse
hypothesis with data from a stratified random sample of 600
households in 20 villages in the mining district of
Keonjhar, Orissa. Household surveys were used to collect
data on demography, forest dependence, health and household
economics. Using geographical information system (GIS), the
household data were integrated with secondary spatial data
on land cover and location of mines to construct multiple
measures of exposure to iron ore mines. Findings –
Microeconometric models demonstrate the multifaceted
nature of the relationships between mine exposure, forest
resources and human welfare. Households closer to mines
experience higher incidences of many illnesses, rank lower
on indicators of human development and own fewer production
assets. They also derive fewer forest benefits because
forests are more degraded and less accessible in villages
closer to mines. Originality/value – This analysis remains
timely because of ongoing violent conflicts and concern
over negative impacts on the welfare of rural populations in
the mining areas of India, which is consistent with the
notion of a resource curse. The paper's findings on the
magnitude of negative impacts can inform the policy
discourse (e.g. benefits sharing schemes) related to
miningled growth. © 2010, Emerald Group Publishing

Abstract = {Many of the services supplied by nature are externalities.
Economic theory suggests that some form of subsidy or
contracting between the beneficiaries and the providers
could result in an optimal supply of environmental services.
Moreover, if the poor own resources that give them a
comparative advantage in the supply of environmental
services, then payments for environmental services (PES) can
improve environmental and poverty outcomes. While the theory
is relatively straightforward, the practice is not,
particularly in developing countries where institutions are
weak. This article reviews the empirical literature on PES
additionality by asking, "Do payments deliver environmental
services, everything else being equal, or, at least, the
land-use changes believed to generate environmental services
We examine both qualitative case studies and rigorous
econometric quasi-experimental analyses. We find that
government-coordinated PES have caused modest or no reversal
of deforestation. Case studies of smaller-scale,
user-financed PES schemes claim more substantial impacts,
but few of these studies eliminate rival explanations for
the positive effects. We conclude by discussing how the
dearth of evidence about PES impacts, and unanswered
questions about institutional preconditions and motivational
"crowding out," limit the prospects for using international
carbon payments to reduce emissions from deforestation and
degradation. © The Author 2010. Published by Oxford

Abstract = {<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate and quantify the economic

propensity-score "pre-matching" and rich pre-post panel data
on 9500 households in 242 villages located in four
geographically different districts to estimate the economic
benefits of a large-scale community demand-driven water
supply programme in Maharashtra, India. We calculated coping
costs and cost of illness by adding across several elements
of coping and illness and then estimated causal impacts
using a difference-in-difference strategy on the pre-matched
sample. The pre-post design allowed us to use a
difference-in-difference estimator to measure "treatment
effect" by comparing treatment and control villages during
both periods. We compared average household costs with
respect to out-of-pocket medical expenses, patients' lost
income, caregiving costs, time spent on collecting water,
time spent on sanitation, and water treatment costs due to
filtration, boiling, chemical use and storage.<h4>Findings</h4>Three
years after programme initiation, the number of households
using piped water and private pit latrines had increased by
10% on average, but no changes in hygiene-related behaviour
had occurred. The behavioural changes observed suggest that
the average household in a programme community could save as
much as 7 United States dollars per month (or 5% of monthly
household cash expenditures) in coping costs, but would not
reduce illness costs. Poorer, socially marginalized
households benefited more, in alignment with programme
objectives.<h4>Conclusion</h4>Given the renewed interest in
water, sanitation and hygiene outcomes, evaluating the
economic benefits of environmental interventions by means of
causal research is important for understanding the true

Abstract = {The Costa Rican Program of Payments for Environmental
Services provides financial compensation to forest owners
for the environmental services generated by their forests.
This program offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the
impacts of direct incentive payments on conservation. In
order to measure the causal effect of this program on
outcomes of interest, it is fundamental to understand the
factors that influence enrollment in the program. Economic
theory suggests that opportunity costs are key, but many
factors may determine and mediate the influence of these
costs. This article reports findings from an integrated
qualitative and quantitative approach to this question.
Within an iterative field research framework, information
was gathered through (a) semistructured interviews with
government officials and forestry professionals, (b) case
studies of participant and nonparticipant forest landowners
based on in-depth interviews, field visits, and a review of
records, and (c) a quantitative survey of participant and
nonparticipant landowners. The semistructured interviews and
case studies provide important insights that can be
incorporated into the quantitative analysis, specifically by
identifying potential determinants of program participation

Abstract = {Changes in the type and prevalence of human diseases have
occurred during shifts in human social organization, for
example, from hunting and gathering to agriculture and with
urbanization during the Industrial Revolution. The recent
emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases appears to
be driven by globalization and ecological disruption. We
propose that habitat destruction and biodiversity loss
associated with biotic homogenization can increase the
incidence and distribution of infectious diseases affecting
humans. The clearest connection between biotic
homogenization and infectious disease is the spread of
nonindigenous vectors and pathogens. The loss of predators
and hosts that dilute pathogen transmission can also
increase the incidence of vectorborne illnesses. Other
mechanisms include enhanced abiotic conditions for pathogens
and vectors and higher host-pathogen encounter rates.
Improved understanding of these causal mechanisms can inform
decisionmaking on biodiversity conservation as an effective
way to protect human health. © 2009 by American Institute

Abstract = {<jats:p> We consider health and environmental quality in
developing countries, where limited resources constrain
behaviors that combat enormously burdensome health
challenges. We focus on four huge challenges that are
preventable (i.e., are resolved in rich countries). We
distinguish them as special cases in a general model of
household behavior, which is critical and depends on risk
information. Simply informing households may achieve a lot
in the simplest challenge (groundwater arsenic); yet, for
the three infectious situations discussed (respiratory,
diarrhea, and malaria), community coordination and public
provision may also be necessary. More generally, social
interactions may justify additional policies. For each
situation, we discuss the valuation of private spillovers
(i.e., externalities) and evaluation of public policies to
reduce environmental risks and spillovers. Finally, we
reflect on open questions in our model and knowledge gaps in
the empirical literature including the challenges of scaling
up and climate change. </jats:p>},

Abstract = {<h4>Objective</h4>To determine the effectiveness of a
sanitation campaign that combines 'shaming' (i.e. emotional
motivators) with subsidies for poor households in rural
Orissa, an Indian state with a disproportionately high share
of India's child mortality.<h4>Methods</h4>Using a
cluster-randomized design, we selected 20 treatment and 20
control villages in the coastal district of Bhadrak, rural
Orissa, for a total sample of 1050 households. We collected
sanitation and health data before and after a community-led
sanitation project, and we used a difference-in-difference
estimator to determine the extent to which the campaign
influenced the number of households building and using a
latrine.<h4>Findings</h4>Latrine ownership did not increase
in control villages, but in treatment villages it rose from
6% to 32% in the overall sample, from 5% to 36% in
households below the poverty line (eligible for a government
subsidy) and from 7% to 26% in households above the poverty
line (not eligible for a government subsidy).<h4>Conclusion</h4>Subsidies
can overcome serious budget constraints but are not
necessary to spur action, for shaming can be very effective
by harnessing the power of social pressure and peer
monitoring. Through a combination of shaming and subsidies,
social marketing can improve sanitation worldwide.},

Abstract = {Ecosystem services are public goods that frequently
constitute the only source of capital for the poor, who lack
political voice. As a result, provision of ecosystem
services is sub-optimal and estimation of their values is
complicated. We examine how econometric estimation can feed
computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling to estimate
health-related ecosystem values. Against a back drop of
climate change, we analyze the Brazilian policy to expand
National Forests (FLONAS) by 50 million hectares. Because
these major environmental changes can generate spillovers in
other sectors, we develop and use a CGE model that focuses
on land and labor markets. Compared to climate change and
deforestation in the baseline, the FLONAS scenario suggests
relatively small declines in GDP, output (including
agriculture) and other macro indicators. Urban households
will experience declines in their welfare because they own
most of the capital and land, which allows them to capture
most of the deforestation benefits. In contrast, even though
rural households have fewer opportunities for subsistence
agriculture and face additional competition with other rural
agricultural workers for more limited employment, their
welfare improves due to health benefits from conservation of
nearby forests. The efficiency vs. equity tradeoffs implied
by the FLONAS scenario suggests that health-related
ecosystem services will be underprovided if the rural poor
are politically weaker than the urban rich. In conclusion,
we briefly discuss the pros and cons of the CGE strategy for
valuing ecosystem-mediated health benefits and evaluating
contemporary policies on climate change mitigation.

Abstract = {Sustainable and equitable access to safe water and adequate
sanitation are widely acknowledged as vital, yet neglected,
development goals. Water supply and sanitation (WSS)
policies are justified because of the usual efficiency
criteria, but also major equity concerns. Yet, to date there
are few scientific impact evaluations showing that WSS
policies are effective in delivering social welfare
outcomes. This lack of an evaluation culture is partly
because WSS policies are characterized by diverse
mechanisms, broad goals and the increasing importance of
decentralized delivery, and partly because programme
administrators are unaware of appropriate methods. We
describe a protocol for a quasi-experimental evaluation of a
community-demand-driven programme for water and sanitation
in rural India, which addresses several evaluation
challenges. After briefly reviewing policy and
implementation issues in the sector, we describe key
features of our protocol, including control group
identification, pre-post measurement, programme theory,
sample sufficiency and robust indicators. At its core, our
protocol proposes to combine propensity score matching and
difference-in-difference estimation. We conclude by briefly
summarizing how quasi-experimental impact evaluations can
address key issues in WSS policy design and when such
evaluations are needed.},

Abstract = {The literature estimating the economic value for water
quality changes has grown considerably over the last 30
years, resulting in an expanded pool of information
potentially available to support national and regional
policy analysis. Using 131 willingness to pay estimates from
18 studies that use a similar definition of water quality,
we performed a meta-regression analysis and found mixed
results. We find that WTP varies in systematic and expected
ways with respect to factors such as the size of the water
quality changes, average household income, and use/nonuse
characteristics of respondents. As a whole, we conclude that
our meta-regression results provide a reasonable basis for
estimating expected WTP values for defined changes in water
quality. However, despite a large number of existing
economic valuation studies, relatively few could be
meaningfully combined through meta-analysis due to
heterogeneity in the commodities being valued in the
original studies. Based on these findings, we provide
recommendations for future research, including suggestions
regarding more standardized approaches for defining water
quality and reporting information in valuation studies. ©

incomplete understanding of how humans value the functions
and services that flow from biodiversity conservation
projects. This paper takes a closer look at the links
between the conservation of biodiversity and the livelihoods
of rural people who live on the fringes of the parks and
protected areas. We revisit some of the key aspects of
ecosystem valuation-purpose, methodology, and policy design
and implementation-because the links between biodiversity
conservation, ecosystem services, and human welfare are
obscured by considerable smoke and mirrors. Using a
biodiversity conservation project (Ruteng Park) on Flores
Island in Indonesia as a case study, we build a concrete
empirical example of ecosystem valuation. This conservation
project has resulted in spatially patchy watershed
protection that allows us to identify and estimate the
impacts of watershed services on human health (diarrhea
prevalence) in the buffer zone of the park. We conclude by
offering a plan of research to improve the design of
conservation interventions for protecting biodiversity and
providing ecosystem services. These recommendations include
developing more conceptual knowledge on the linkages between
biodiversity and ecosystem services; scaling up valuation
efforts of underappreciated services such as health;
shifting focus from valuing services individually to valuing
multiple benefits from the same area; and conducting
conservation policy experiments to identify causal outcomes
(including defensible estimates of ecosystem values). ©

Abstract = {This paper describes and illustrates a method for benefits
transfer referred to as preference calibration or structural
benefits transfer. This approach requires selection of a
preference model, capable of describing individual choices
over a set of market and associated non-market goods to
maximize utility when facing budget constraints. Once the
structure is selected, the next step involves defining the
analytical expressions for the tradeoffs being represented
by the set of available benefit measures. These algebraic
relationships are used with the benefit estimates from the
literature to calibrate the parameters of the model. The
calibrated model then offers the basis for defining the
"new" tradeoffs required for the policy analysis, i.e., for
'transferring benefits'. A new application is used to
illustrate the structural benefits transfer logic. It
involves the benefits for mortality risk reductions,
measured with labor market compensation a worker would
accept to be willing to work with added risk. The measure is
usually labeled the value of a statistical life (VSL). Our
application indicates that we should not have expected
differences in these measures for the economic value of risk
reductions with age. The calibrated estimates were not
greatly different for combinations of risk levels, labor
supply choices, wages, and non-wage income for older adults.
Thus, simple adjustments relying on value per discounted
life year remaining seem questionable. ©

unprotected (or undeveloped) forest areas, and trees growing
around a house or in the neighborhood surrounding the house.
Each type of forest cover provides different amenities to
the homeowner and to society at large. In particular, while
trees on a parcel of land or in a neighborhood may add value
for homeowners, the ecological value of these trees as
habitat is far less than large, unbroken parcels of forest.
We explore different definitions of forest cover and
greenness and assess the relative value of these various
types of forest cover to homeowners. Using data from the
Research Triangle region of North Carolina, we test the
hypothesis that trees on a parcel or in the neighborhood
around that parcel are substitutes for living near large
blocks of forest. The findings have implications for
land-use planning efforts and habitat conservation in
particular. © 2005 Elsevier GmbH. All rights

ecosystem services, using a case study from Flores,
Indonesia, in which forest protection in upstream watersheds
stabilize soil and hydrological flows in downstream farms.
We focus on the demand for a weak complement to the
ecosystem services - farm labor - and account for spatial
dependence due to economic interactions, ecosystem
processes, and data integration. The estimated models have
theoretically expected properties across eight different
specifications. We find strong evidence that forest
ecosystem services provide economically substantive benefits
to local people and that these services would be
substantially undervalued if spatial dependence is ignored.

Abstract = {This study develops first-order estimates of water quality
co-effects of terrestrial greenhouse gas (GHG) emission
offset strategies in U.S. agriculture by linking a national
level agricultural sector model (ASMGHG) to a national level
water quality model (NWPCAM). The simulated policy scenario
considers GHG mitigation incentive payments of $25 and $50
per tonne, carbon equivalent to landowners for reducing
emissions or enhancing the sequestration of GHG through
agricultural and land-use practices. ASMGHG projects that
these GHG price incentives could induce widespread
conversion of agricultural to forested lands, along with
alteration of tillage practices, crop mix on land remaining
in agriculture, and livestock management. This study focuses
on changes in cropland use and management. The results
indicate that through agricultural cropland about 60 to 70
million tonnes of carbon equivalent (MMTCE) emissions can be
mitigated annually in the U.S. These responses also lead to
a 2% increase in aggregate national water quality, with
substantial variation across regions. Such GHG mitigation
activities are found to reduce annual nitrogen loadings into
the Gulf of Mexico by up to one half of the reduction goals
established by the national Watershed Nutrient Task Force
for addressing the hypoxia problem. © Springer

Abstract = {We report for the first time 40Ar-39Ar plateau ages for the
Sylhet Traps of eastern India. Our results provide
concordant ages for two samples, vertically separated by
∼200 m, from a tholeiite lava flow sequence. The ages are
indistinguishable at 2σ confidence level indicating a rapid
emplacement of these lavas. The weighted mean of the plateau
ages associated with least errors, 116.0 ± 3.5 Ma, most
likely represents the age of eruption. Clearly, the Sylhet
Traps are contemporaneous with the Kerguelen plume generated
Rajmahal and Bengal Traps. Our results in conjunction with
the existing age data in the Rajmahal-Bengal-Sylhet igneous
province suggest that the latter experienced widespread, and
rapid emplacement of flood basalts at ∼118 ± 2 Ma. Such a
large-scale volcanism would have required a direct
involvement of the Kerguelen plume, suggesting that the
Kerguelen hotspot was located close to the eastern Indian

in five main types of coping behaviors: collecting, pumping,
treating, storing, and purchasing. These activities impose
coping costs on an average household of as much as 3 U.S.
dollars per month or about 1% of current incomes,
representing hidden but real costs of poor infrastructure
service. We find that these coping costs are almost twice as
much as the current monthly bills paid to the water utility
but are significantly lower than estimates of WTP for
improved services. We find that coping costs are
statistically correlated with WTP and several household

developing a conceptual framework and using household level

Flores, Indonesia provides evidence of a substantive,

fixed-effects regression model of water collection costs.
The paper also offers lessons for researchers at all stages

enhancing our toolkit for policy analysis. This discussion
of conceptual, empirical and methodological issues

critical input into the design and evaluation of

Abstract = {Recent econometric analyses have shown that timber supply
choices reflect heterogeneous preferences for amenities and
management of forests in the US South. However, this
evidence is insufficient to determine whether timber market
models that rely on conventional timber supply
specifications will suffer from significant forecasting
biases. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the nature and
extent of such bias by (a) modifying the Sub-Regional Timber
Supply (SRTS) model to reflect landowner heterogeneity; and
(b) using estimated parameters to tie timber markets to
heterogeneous individual supply choices. We find that
conventional models will underestimate the ending period
inventory volume in the younger age classes of all forest
management types, except planted pines. These aggregate
results mask interesting sub-regional patterns, as
exemplified by mixed-pine forests of Virginia mountains,
Florida panhandle, and North Carolina mountains, and natural
pine forests of North Carolina piedmont. Compared to
empirically valid models, conventional models will also
estimate (a) lower timber prices, higher harvests and
substantially higher inventory for softwood species; and (b)
higher prices, lower harvests, and higher inventory for
hardwood species. A case study from North Carolina also
indicates significant differences in habitat forecasts for
61 species of birds, amphibians, and reptiles. We conclude
with a synthesis of the key underlying forces that
supplement or mitigate the heterogeneity impact, and a
discussion of the bias-vs.-efficiency tradeoffs confronting
policy makers and policy analysts who rely on forest sector
projection models. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights

forests for fuelwood makes substantial contributions to
household welfare. Increasing cost of forest access, wealth,
use of alternative fuels, ownership of kerosene stoves,

Abstract = {In light of the large number of empirical studies of
agroforestry adoption published during the last decade, we
believe it is time to take stock and identify general
determinants of agroforestry adoption. In reviewing 120
articles on adoption of agricultural and forestry technology
by small holders, we find five categories of factors that
explain technology adoption within an economic framework:
preferences, resource endowments, market incentives,
biophysical factors, and risk and uncertainty. By selecting
only empirical analyses that focus on agroforestry and
related investments, we narrow our list down to 32 studies
primarily from tropical areas. We apply vote-counting based
meta-analysis to these studies and evaluate the inclusion
and significance of the five adoption factors. Our analysis
shows that preferences and resource endowments are the
factors most often included in studies. However, adoption
behavior is most likely to be significantly influenced by
risk, biophysical, and resource factors. In our conclusion,
we discuss specific recommendations for the next generation
of adoption studies and meta-analyses that include
considering a fuller menu of variables, reporting key
statistics and marginal probabilities, and conducting
weighted meta-regressions.},

Abstract = {The Amba Dongar carbonatite-alkaline complex is one of
several alkaline complexes present within the Chhota Udaipur
subprovince of the Deccan flood basalt province, western
India. Despite previous geochronological studies, the
evolutionary history of this complex had remained uncertain
due to lack of precise age data for the tholeiitic basalts
that are exposed within and outside the ring dike of the
complex. Also, ages of many alkaline plugs of the
subprovince had remained unknown. Here we report results of
40Ar-39Ar dating of the basalt exposed inside the ring dike
at Amba Dongar and phonolite from an alkaline plug located
at Tawa at the northernmost edge of the subprovince; the
analyses yield plateau ages of 68.5 ± 0.9 and 65.2 ± 0.7
Ma, respectively. These results not only suggest that the
basalts present inside the Amba Dongar complex predate the
complex itself, but also confirm the earlier view that all
the alkaline activity in the Chhota Udaipur subprovince was
contemporaneous. This in turn has significant implications
for the contributions of CO2 and SO2 into the atmosphere at

Year = {2002},

Abstract = {In search of ways to enhance and sustain the flow of
services from forests, policy makers in the public and
private sectors look to forest sector models to project
future forest uses. A major shortcoming of these models is a
timber supply specification that inadequately accounts for
suppliers choosing the structure of their forest capital to
self-produce nontimber amenities. This inadequate
characterization of resource use, if significant, can impede
the development of sound forest policy, particularly in
settings where forest owners possess diverse preferences for
forest amenities. In this article, we develop and estimate a
timber supply model that is consistent with the idea of
joint self-production of timber and nontimber amenities,
such that timber supply is a function of an endogenous
distribution of forest inventory that correlates to
ownership and management characteristics. Using data for the
U.S. South and three-stage least squares procedures, we
confirm that timber and nontimber amenities are jointly
produced by private forest owners. We also note that owner
and management characteristics influence joint production
decisions. We believe that the parameters estimated through
such an integrated empirical exercise could critically
improve forest sector forecasting models and the related
forest policy analyses.},

Abstract = {The private demand for a hypothetical vaccine that would
provide lifetime protection against HIV/AIDS to an
uninfected adult was measured in Guadalajara, Mexico, using
the concept of willingness to pay (WTP). A 91-question
survey instrument was administered by trained enumerators
employing contingent valuation techniques to 234 adults,
aged 18-60. Our estimates of private demand indicate that
individuals anticipate sizable personal benefits from such a
vaccine, and that they would be willing to allocate a
substantial portion of their income to be protected in this
way from HIV infection. A conservative estimate of the mean
WTP of adults in the Guadalajara sample is 6358 pesos (669
US dollars) and the median is 3000 pesos (316 US dollars). A
multivariate statistical analysis of the determinants of
individuals' WTP shows that individuals with higher incomes,
with spouses or partners, and with higher perceived risks of
becoming infected with HIV are willing to pay more for the
vaccine. Older respondents are willing to pay less. These
results suggest that there is likely to be a potentially
large private market for a HIV/AIDS vaccine in the
middle-income developing countries such as Mexico. These
findings have important implications both for the level of
R&D effort that is devoted to a vaccine and, assuming these
efforts are successful, for future policies to make the
vaccine available to the public.},

Abstract = {Soil erosion poses economic and environmental concerns in
many tropical uplands. Agroforestry has been proposed as a
sustainable land use that can mitigate soil erosion and
promote the economic welfare of small farmers. To evaluate
such claims, we must (a) develop a composite measure of
effectiveness, such as a soil conservation index, and (b)
define it in terms understood by the farmers who ultimately
choose to adopt and implement agroforestry. We construct an
empirical soil conservation index as a weighted average of
farmer perceptions of four soil attributes and develop a
statistical model of soil conservation benefits of
agroforestry by using survey data from the Philippines.
Accounting for self-selection bias, we evaluate the soil
conservation benefits by testing the correlation between the
index and the level of agroforestry adoption. Our estimated
model shows that agroforestry can generate 15-20 percent
soil conservation for the typical small farmer. We offer
several methodological, practical, and policy insights.
Because many farmers in developing countries face
informational and capital constraints, our study suggests
that public policies should support smallholder
agroforestry, a type of “natural investment” in soil
capital, to generate private and public benefits. © 2002

Abstract = {The Mandla lobe in the eastern part of the Deccan volcanic
province represents an isolated lava pile having a thickness
of-900 m.The large thickness of this lava pile and its
spatial detachment from the western Deccan outcrop points to
a plausible second source. The stratigraphic configuration
of the central and eastern Deccan lava sequences and their
possible stratigraphic correlation are primarily based on
geology and chemical signatures of the lava flows. Based on
variations in the incompatible element ratios, the lava
sequences of Chindwara, Jabalpur-Seoni and Jabalpur-Piparia
sections were classified into four informal formations
showing similarity with the southwestern formations. Major
and trace element abundances in fifteen lava flows of
Jabalpur area are similar to that of the southwestern Deccan
lava flows. It has been found that the Ambenali Fm. and a
few Khandala and Bushe Fm. flows are present in the
northeastern Deccan. The regional mapping and detailed
petrographic studies coupled with the lateral tracing have
enabled the recognition of thirty-seven physically distinct
lava flows and is justified by their major-elemental
chemistry. The 'intraflow variations' studied in some of the
flows is very low for most of the major oxides. These
thirty-seven lava flows are grouped into eight chemical
types. The order of superposition in this sequence reflects
that the older flows occur in the west of the outlier at the
Seoni-Jabalpur-Sahapura sector whereas, the younger flows
are confined to the Dindori-Amarkantak sector in the east.
The spatial disposition of the lava flows suggests that the
structural complexity in the lava flow sequence in the
Mandla lobe lies between Jabalpur and Dindori. The
juxtaposition of distinct groups of lava flows are observed
near Deori (flows 1 to 4 abeted aginst flows 5 to 14) and
Dindori areas. At Dindon and towards its south the distinct
lava packages (flows 15 to 27 and flows 28 to 37) are
juxtaposed along the course of Narmada river. The possible
explanation for this could be the presence of four
post-Deccan faults at Nagapahar, Kundam, Deori and Dindori
areas. The vertical shift of chemically distinct lava
packages at different sectors in the outlier contravenes the
idea of small regional dip and favours the presence of four
NE-SW trending post-Deccan faults. Major geochemical breaks,
when traced out from section to section, exhibit shifting in
heights by approximately 150 m near Nagapahar and 300 m near
Deori and Dindori areas. The field, petrographic and
major-oxide data sets considered in conjuction with the
magnetic chron reversal heights, support the inference that
four faults trending NE-SW are present in the Mandla lobe. A
commonality in the mineralo-chemical attributes of the infra
(Lametas)-/inter-trappean as well as weathered Deccan basalt
further favours their derivation from Deccan basalt,
implying the availability of Deccan basalt during the
Maastrichtian Lameta sedimentation. This observation does
not match with the models suggesting an extremely short
duration of Deccan volcanism (<0.5 Ma) at the KTB, but is
congruent with the models advocating a more prolonged Deccan
volcanism.},

Abstract = {This paper proposes a new approach to benefit transfer. The
method assumes a specific form for preferences and uses
available benefit information to identify and calibrate the
preference parameters to match the existing benefit
estimates. This approach assures economic consistency of the
transfers. Benefit measures can never be inconsistent with
household income. The logic also offers a series of
potentially observable "predictions" that can be used to
gauge the plausibility of benefit transfers. When multiple
benefit estimates from different methods are available such
as hedonic property value, travel cost demand, and
contingent valuation, the framework uses the definition of
the benefit concept from each method in a single preference
function to reconcile differences. It provides a specific
way to take account of baseline conditions and scope effects
(i.e., the size of the proposed change) consistently in the
transfer. The method is illustrated using estimates for
benefit measure changes in water quality from three studies:
travel cost demand, hedonic property value, and contingent
valuation analysis.},

current base-flow allows estimation of drought mitigation

validating the central hypothesis that baseflow makes
positive contributions to agricultural profits. There is
some evidence, however, that increased watershed protection
will increase profits through greater baseflow only in
watersheds with a unique mix of physio-graphic and climatic

the hypothesis, put forward by hydrological science and the

Abstract = {Clay mineral studies on the K/T boundary succession at
Anjar, Kutch show smectite, sepiolite and palygorskite as
its major clay mineral assemblage. There is a distinct
variation in the clay mineralogy across the section with
sepiolite and palygorskite dominating the lower and upper
lithounits, respectively, in association with smectite. The
KTB layer, marked by the Ir (1271 pg/g) and Os (1414 pg/g)
anomaly contain sepiolite and smectite in subequal
proportions. The clay stratigraphy of the succession
reflects progressive increase in aridity and basicity in the
depositional environment during the deposition of Anjar KTB
sediments. It appears that the sepiolite-palygorskite-smectite
complexes in the sediments were developed in a lacustrine or
peri-marine environment of high basicity under arid
conditions induced and influenced by Deccan volcanism. In
this environment, the Si, Mg and Al ions necessary for the
formation of sepiolite and palygorskite could be supplied by
the hydrothermal fluids associated with volcanism by the
dissociation of silicates already available in the
depositional environment or simultaneously by both the
processes. Clay mineral associations in the Ir-bearing Anjar
intertrappean sediments across its lithounits are more
compatible with the depositional environment influenced by
the volcanism, than an asteroidal impact. In the upper part
of the succession, the prdominance of palygorskite and
smectite suggests that the latter contributed the necessary
Al, Si and Mg ions to result the former. The REE signatures
indicate that sepiolite-smectite is most likely the carrier
phase of Ir in Anjar intertrappeans.},

Abstract = {Trees can be considered as investments made by economic
agents to prevent depreciation of natural assets such as
stocks of top soil and water. In agroforestry systems
farmers use trees in this manner by deliberately combining
them with agricultural crops on the same unit of land.
Although advocates of agroforestry have asserted that soil
conservation is one of its primary benefits, empirical
estimates of these benefits have been lacking due to
temporal and spatial complexity of agroforestry systems and
the nonmarket aspect of soil capital assets. This study
designs and applies a bio-economic framework for valuing the
soil conservation benefits of agroforestry. The framework is
tested with econometric analysis of data from surveys of
households in Eastern Visayas, Philippines, where
USAID/Government of Philippines introduced contour hedgerow
agroforestry in 1983. By constructing a weighted soil
quality index that also incorporates measures of soil
fertility, texture and color in addition to erosion, we
extend previous economic studies of soil resources. This
index is regressed on a variety of farming and site specific
bio-physical variables. Next, we use a Cobb-Douglas profit
function to directly relate agricultural profits and soil
quality. Thus, the value of soil conservation is measured as
a quasirent differential or the share of producer surplus
associated with a change in soil quality. Because this
framework assumes the existence of markets, the assumption
is tested by analysing the statistical significance of
consumption side variables, e.g., number of household
members, on production side variables, e.g., profits.
Instrumental variables are used to handle the endogeneity of
the soil index in the profit equation. Seemingly unrelated
regression (SUR) analysis is used to accommodate correlation
of errors across the soil and profit equations. Regression
results reveal the importance of agroforestry intensity,
private ownership, land fragmentation, and familiarity with
soil conservation as positive covariates of soil quality.
Analysis of production dam indicate the importance of market
prices, education, farming experience, farm size,
topography, and soil quality as positive covariates of
household profits. Investments in agroforestry to improve or
maintain soil capital can increased annual agricultural
profits by US$53 for the typical household, which is 6% of
total income. However, there are significant up-front costs.
Given that small farmers in tropical uplands are important
players in the management of deteriorating soil and forest
resources, policy makers may want to consider supporting
farmers in the early years of agroforestry
adoption.},

Abstract = {The studies on the structural formulae of smectites in the
Lameta sediments indicate that they are rich in octahedral
Fe, Mg and tetrahedral Al. Identical patterns of Mg, Fe and
Al abundances in the octahedral and tetrahedral layers
respectively, were also observed in the smectites of
intertrappean sediments and weathered Deccan Basalts. The
thermodynamic components and charge configurations of
smectites in the Lameta, intertrappean and Deccan Basalt
indicate that they fall within the compositional plane of
smectite solid solution. The compositional commonality of
smectite in the Lameta sediments with those in the
intertrappeans and weathered Deccan Basalt suggests,
Smectites in the Lameta sediments are derivatives of Deccan
volcanic products. This implies the commencement of Deccan
Volcanism during the Maastrichtian Lameta sedimentation or
prior to it.},

Abstract = {The Asia-Pacific region accounts for about 57 per cent (635
million) of the global population without safe drinking
water and 72 per cent (1.88 billion) of the global
population without proper sanitation (UNDP, 2006). Even
among the urban households which have access to Water Supply
and Sanitation (WSS) many receive low-quality services. The
global agenda for poverty reduction stated in the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) aims to halve the number of people
without proper water supply and sanitation by 2015 (United
Nations, 2005, ADB, 2005). Large amount of investment on WSS
projects is required to achieve this goal. Mobilizing public
and private sector financial resources and designing and
implementing WSS projects are important tasks trusted upon
the developing country governments and their development
partners to achieve water related MDGs.Willingness To Pay
(WTP) data on improved water supply and sanitation services
constitute the basis for assessing effective demand and
benefits of WSS services projects. The WTP concept generally
refers to the economic value of a good to a person (or a
household), under given conditions. Net economic benefits of
improved water services, in simple terms, are estimated as
the difference between the consumers' maximum WTP for better
services and the actual cost of the services. In addition to
providing crucial information for assessing economic
viability of projects, WTP data are useful for setting
affordable tariffs, evaluation of policy alternatives,
assessing financial sustainability, as well as designing
socially equitable subsidies (Brookshire and Whittington
1993, Whittington 2002, Carson 2003, Gunatilake et al. 2006,
van den Berg et al. 2006).},

Title = {NGOs and the effectiveness of interventions},
Journal = {WIDER Working Paper},
Publisher = {UNU-WIDER},
Year = {2018},
Month = {May},
Abstract = {Interventions in remote, rural settings face high
transaction costs. We develop a model of household
decision-making to evaluate how non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) address these implementation-related
challenges and influence intervention effectiveness. To test
our model’s predictions, we create a sample of
observationally similar Indian villages that differ in their
prior engagement with a local development NGO. In
partnership with this NGO, we then stratify a randomized
technology promotion intervention on this institutional
variable. We uncover a large, positive, and statistically
significant ‘NGO effect’: prior engagement with the NGO
increases the effectiveness of our intervention by at least
30 per cent. Our results have implications for the
generalizability of experimental research conducted jointly
with NGOs. In particular, attempts to scale-up findings from
such work may prove less successful than anticipated if the
role of NGOs is insufficiently understood. Alternatively,
policy makers looking to scale-up could achieve greater
success by enlisting trusted local partners.},
