A Randomized Control Trial (RCT) on the Adoption of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cooking Technology among Fast Food (Chapati) Vendors in Uganda
Biomass is predominantly the energy used for cooking by households and food vendors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Relying on biomass energy leads to deforestation and is associated with negative health and
COVID-19, Access to Energy and Food security in Ethiopia: Panel Data Evidence
This proposal will examine two key research objectives that have not been well explored: First, it will examine the role of access to electricity on household’s food security and the nutritional
Sharing is Costly? Experimental Evidence on the Effects of Shared Metering on Energy Conservation in Ghana
In Ghana, a basic requirement for getting connected to electricity is access to an electric meter. However, delays in the acquisition of the meters force many households to “subconnect” electricity
Household Electricity Consumption in Efficiency and Poverty: Evidence from Ghana
In Ghana, growth in electricity demand has largely been met through an increase in thermal generation leading to increases in local air pollutants, mainly greenhouse gas emissions. One way of
The motivation for corporate energy strategies on energy efficiency among Kenyan firms
Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the drivers for adopting energy efficiency practices within an emerging market context.
Design/methodology/approach
Drawing on the shared value theoretical perspective, this study investigates the corporate strategy approaches toward energy efficiency in firms. This paper draws from a sample of 852 Kenyan firms from 14 sectors. This study’s analysis is based on an ordered probit model.
Findings
Electricity reliability and electric cooking: What can we learn from cross-national comparisons?
The study will use household surveys from several African and Asian countries to examine how electricity reliability and quality, prices, gender dynamics, and other variables affect electric cooking
The effect of information and subsidy on adoption of solar lanterns: An application of the BDM bidding mechanism in rural Ethiopia
The transition to solar energy to provide clean lighting for rural households in developing countries has been slow. Using a Becker-DeGroot-Marschak (BDM) bidding mechanism in a randomized field experiment, this study investigated the effect of information and subsidy policy instruments on the uptake of solar lanterns. The BDM approach used provides a more comprehensive and more transparent approach for eliciting willingness to pay (WTP), as our random draw is from a wide range of uniformly distributed prices, drawn in front of the subjects.
Electric cooking in the energy transition: How much subsidization is needed?
In this project we propose to estimate demand for an electric pressure cooker (EPC), a highly-efficient electric cooking appliance well-suited to many African cuisines, among grid connected households
Thermal Imaging as Information Intervention for Saving Energy for Cooling: An Experiment in Vietnam
As an important measure for households’ adaptation to climate change, the demand for air conditioning is increasing sharply in developing countries, which implies a larger demand for electricity and
