Improved biomass cookstove use in the longer run
This study examines longer-run usage frequency of Mirt improved biomass cookstoves (ICS), one of the most important ICS promoted in Ethiopia. Mirt has been shown to improve childhood health, and reduce fuelwood consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, but to generate those benefits, households must regularly use it over extended periods. Thus, this paper focuses on longer-run use using stove surface temperature data over five time intervals. We …

Parce que les revues préfèrent des résultats clairs, les chercheurs peuvent être tentés de s’engager dans des pratiques non éthiques, allant de la collecte de données supplémentaires pour atteindre un seuil de significativité jusqu’à la création de fausses données. Pour redresser les incitations des chercheurs, nous proposons un mécanisme par lequel les soumissions sont proposées sous enveloppe scellée. Les évaluations des éditeurs et des rapport…
Off the Charts
Ambiguity attitudes have been prominently used in economic models, but we still know little about their demographic correlates or their generalizability beyond the West. We analyze the ambiguity attitudes of almost 3,000 students across thirty countries. For gains, we find ambiguity aversion everywhere, while ambiguity aversion is much weaker for losses. Ambiguity attitudes change systematically with probabilities for both gains and losses. Much …
Relative concerns and sleep behavior
Measuring Risk Preferences in Rural Ethiopia
Risk aversion is generally found to decrease in income. Between countries, comparative findings with students suggest that people in poorer countries are more risk tolerant, potentially giving rise to a risk-income paradox. We test the robustness of this finding by measuring the risk preferences of 500 household heads in the highlands of Ethiopia. We find high degrees of risk tolerance, consistent with the evidence obtained for students using the…

Does Positional Concern Matter in Poor Societies? Evidence from a Survey Experiment in Rural Ethiopia
Trust and Religion
Trust is measured using both survey questions and a trust experiment among a random sample of Muslim and Hindu household heads in rural Bangladesh. We found no significant effect of the social distance between Hindus and Muslims in the trust experiment in terms of the proportions sent or returned. However, the survey responses do indicate significant differences. Both Hindus and Muslims were found to trust others from their own religion more than…
Are Vietnamese farmers concerned with their relative position in society
This paper examines the attitude towards relative position or status among rural households in Vietnam. On average, respondents show rather weak preferences for relative position. Possible explanations are the emphasis on the importance of equality and that villagers are very concerned with how the local community perceives their actions. We also investigate what influences the concern for relative position and find, among other things, that if a…
Do You Enjoy Having More than Others? Survey Evidence of Positional Goods
Although conventional economic theory proposes that only the absolute levels of income and consumption matter for people's utility, there is much evidence that relative concerns are often important. This paper uses a choice experiment to measure people's perceptions of the degree to which such concerns matter, i.e. the degree of positionality. Based on a random sample in Sweden, income and cars are found to be highly positional, on average, in co…
