Description

Description: The present data were collected as part of a field experiment that investigated the question of whether willingness to pay for improved cookstoves, and ultimately their acceptance, is increased by prior experience of use. The experiment was conducted among a sample of households that participated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in 2009 and 2010. The Becker-DeGroot-Marschak method was used, coupled with a real purchase offer, to determine households' willingness to pay in an unbiased manner. A complementary household survey was conducted to investigate, among other things, how households make decisions regarding the choice of modern energy options.
