Do Improved Biomass Cookstoves Reduce Pm2.5 Concentrations? If so, for Whom? Empirical Evidence from Rural Ethiopia

Bluffstone, Randall - 2019

Improved biomass cookstoves have been promoted as important intermediate technologies to reduce fuelwood consumption and possibly cut household air pollution in low-income countries. This study uses a randomized controlled trial to examine household air pollution reductions from an improved...

Impacts of Improved Biomass Cookstoves on Child and Adult Health : Experimental Evidence from Rural Ethiopia

LaFave, Daniel - 2019

This paper presents the three-year impacts of an improved biomass cookstove on child and adult health in rural Ethiopia. After near complete stove adoption during an initial one-year randomized controlled trial, 60 percent of treatment households continued to use the improved stoves three-years...

Climate Change Impacts and Mitigation in the Developing World : An Integrated Assessment of the Agriculture and Forestry Sectors

Havlík, Petr - 2017

This paper conducts an integrated assessment of climate change impacts and climate mitigation on agricultural commodity markets and food availability in low- and middle-income countries. The analysis uses the partial equilibrium model GLOBIOM to generate scenarios to 2080. The findings show that...

Can Improved Biomass Cookstoves Contribute to REDD+ in Low-Income Countries? Evidence from a Controlled Cooking Test Trial with Randomized Behavioral Treatments

Beyene, Abebe - 2017

This paper provides field experiment?based evidence on the potential additional forest carbon sequestration that cleaner and more fuel-efficient cookstoves might generate. The paper focuses on the Mirt (meaning ?best?) cookstove, which is used to bake injera, the staple food in Ethiopia. The...

Biogas : Clean Energy Access with Low-Cost Mitigation of Climate Change

Somanathan, Eswaran - 2017

mean reduction in household firewood collection associated with use of a biogas plant for cooking is about 1,100 kilograms … without biogas in the same village, thus effectively removing the influence of many potential confounders. Further controls … ownership, and unemployment are used to identify the effect of biogas adoption on firewood collection. Bounds on omitted …

The Improved Biomass Stove Saves Wood, But How Often Do People Use it? Evidence from a Randomized Treatment Trial in Ethiopia

Beyene, Abebe - 2017

This paper uses a randomized experimental design and real-time electronic stove use monitors to evaluate the frequency with which villagers use improved biomass-burning Mirt injera cookstoves in rural Ethiopia. Understanding whether, how much, and why improved cookstoves are used is important,...

Forests, Biomass Use, and Poverty in Malawi

Bandyopadhyay, Sushenjit - 2016

In this paper, the authors seek to answer three questions about poverty and forests in Malawi: (1) What is the extent of biomass available for meeting the energy needs of the poor in Malawi and how is this distributed? (2) To what extent does fuelwood scarcity affect the welfare of the poor? (3)...
