Reducing Information Barriers to Solar Adoption: Experimental Evidence from India
By: Meera Mahadevan, Robyn C. Meeks and Takashi Yamano
Off-grid solar technologies hold promise for unelectrified and low-quality electricity settings; however, their adoption remains low. Important barriers to adoption, such as incomplete information remain relatively unexplored in developing countries. In collaboration... View Details

Household Bargaining and Excess Fertility: An Experimental Study in Zambia
By: Nava Ashraf, Erica Field and Jean Lee
We posit that household decision-making over fertility is characterized by moral hazard due to the fact that most contraception can only be perfectly observed by the woman. Using an experiment in Zambia that varied whether women were given access to contraceptives... View Details
