DUKE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY ECONOMICS WORKING PAPER SERIES organized by the NICHOLAS INSTITUTE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY SOLUTIONS and the DUKE UNIVERSITY ENERGY INITIATIVE Preferences for Improved Cook Stoves: Evidence from North Indian Villages
Because emissions from solid fuel burning in traditional stoves impacts global climate change, the regional environment, and household health, there is today a real fascination with improved cook stoves (ICS). Nonetheless, surprisingly little is known about what households like about these energy products. We report on preferences for ICS attributes in a large sample of 2,120 rural households i...

متن کاملHousehold Air Pollution Intervention Implications: Findings from Qualitative Studies and a Field Trial of Clean Cookstoves in Two Rural Villages in India
Exposure to household air pollution is estimated to be the 3rd largest contributor to the global burden of disease and the largest contributor in South Asia. Unacceptability of improved cook stoves by the intended user has been identified as a crucial factor hindering uptake and sustained use. We conducted a qualitative study to understand the socio-cultural factors that influence acceptance of...
متن کاملDistribution of improved cook stoves: analysis of field experiments using strategic niche management theory I. H. Rehman,
Close to three billion people globally and over 800 million in India are dependent on direct combustion of unprocessed solid biomass fuels in inefficient traditional mud stoves. Current cooking practices, besides causing serious health problems, are also being linked to emissions of climate change and pollution agents such as black carbon and ozone precursors. In India several initiatives have ...
متن کاملFuel Choices in Rural Maharashtra
We report on and analyze the results of an energy use survey in two tribal villages in rural Maharashtra, India. Though there is significant heterogeneity between the effects of the variables in the two villages there are some robust results. We find modest evidence for the ‘energy ladder’ hypothesis and that use of higher quality energy sources reduces total energy use, ceteris paribus. Income...
