Experimental Evidence on the Economics of Rural Electrification (2020, background): “…to measure the economic impacts of various types of infrastructure, including transportation (Faber 2014; Donaldson 2018), water and sanitation (Devoto et al. 2012; Patil et al. 2014), telecommunications ( Jensen 2007; Aker 2010; Björkegren 2019), and electricity systems (Dinkelman 2011;…”
Household Response to Income Changes: Evidence from an Unconditional Cash Transfer Program in Kenya ∗ (2013, background): “To our knowledge, the present study is the first to rigorously identify the effect of a decrease in poverty on cortisol levels, and one of the first to study the effects of poverty alleviation on psychological well-being (Baird, De Hoop, and Özler 2013; Kling, Liebman, and Katz 2007; Devoto et al. 2”
Infrastructure Public–Private Partnerships in the Developing World: Lessons from Recent Experience (2015, background): “The conclusions reached by Devoto et al., 2012 – that private operators may be underestimating lowincome households’ willingness to pay for infrastructure services that have major effects on their quality of life – also points to the possibility that private operators may sometimes be misreading…”
Women Empowerment and Economic Development (2012, background): “Devoto et al. (2011) find no impact on time devoted to market activities when households became connected to piped water in Morocco, but a significant increase in leisure and reduction in stress levels and intrahouseholds conflicts. Another source of gain of time with economic development is the red”
Envirodevonomics: A Research Agenda for an Emerging Field (2015, background): “…effects of defaults have proliferated in other contexts, they have received relatively little attention for environmental decision making.25 Devoto et al. (2012) use a randomized experiment to study the take up and impacts of a subsidized program to connect households to the municipal…”
Early Life Circumstance and Adult Mental Health (2019, result): “This study complements a growing set of studies in the development economics literature that regard economic outcomes as incomplete measurements of welfare (Devoto et al. 2012; Baird, De Hoop, andÖzler 2013; Angelucci, Karlan, and Zinman 2015; Haushofer and Shapiro 2016).”
Shelter from the Storm: Upgrading Housing Infrastructure in Latin American Slums (2014, background): “For example, Van Praag (1991) argues that peole seem to translate numerical happiness into verbal labels, and Diener and Lucas 1999) suggest that people are even able to predict the satisfaction levels of othrs.”
Household electrification and indoor air pollution (2017, unknown): “It has been used extensively in other contexts (e.g. Hirano et al., 2000; Devoto et al., 2011; Mullally, Boucher, and Carter, 2013; Allcott and Mullainathan, 2010), but Bernard and Torero (2013) is the first study to implement a RED approach to study electrification in developing countries.”
Access to Water, Women’s Work, and Child Outcomes (2010, background): “Using a randomized design, Devoto et al. (2011) find that a household connection to the water grid in the Moroccan city of Tangiers results in significant time savings but no impacts on productive activities.”
Toilets Can Work: Short and Medium Run Health Impacts of Addressing Complementarities and Externalities in Water and Sanitation (2015, background): “Furthermore, willingness to pay for the convenience of piped water in the home appears to be high (Devoto et al. 2012), in contrast to a low willingness to pay for improvements in water quality by itself (Kremer et al. 2011, Berry, Fischer, and Guiteras 2012) and latrines by themselves (Gupta et…”
