Project Description: Almost a billion people in developing countries are not connected to the electricity grid. Those with power are still subject to unreliable supply and frequent outages. One cause is a widespread inability of utilities to collect on payments, forcing them to ration supply. This project will evaluate the use of new technology of smart meters to break this cycle of low-payments and low-quality that in turn causes consumers to feel justified in making incomplete payments. Smart metering and pre-payment specifically have several beneficial features, such as lowering transactions and monitoring costs and perhaps reducing liquidity constraints. There is also a growing literature on the consumer response to real-time pricing, which smart metering enables. However, there are no credible evaluations on the crucial pointcan a technological intervention change norm, incentives, and payment, and thereby improve reliability and access, even in a high-theft environment While there have been great strides in smart metering, it is not clear that metering alone can reduce theft if the fundamental problem is collusion between collection agents and utility customers, at the expense of power suppliers.

Education: Bachelors in Economics/Engineering Organization: J-PAL South Asia at IFMR Project Description: Almost a billion people in developing countries are not connected to the electricity grid. Those with power are still subject to unreliable supply and frequent outages. One cause is a widespread inability of utilities to collect on payments, forcing them to ration supply. This project will evaluate the use of new technology of smart meters to break this cycle of low-payments and low-quality that in turn causes consumers to feel justified in making incomplete payments. Smart metering and pre-payment specifically have several beneficial features, such as lowering transactions and monitoring costs and perhaps reducing liquidity constraints. There is also a growing literature on the consumer response to real-time pricing, which smart metering enables. However, there are no credible evaluations on the crucial pointcan a technological intervention change norm, incentives, and payment, and thereby improve reliability and access, even in a high-theft environment While there have been great strides in smart metering, it is not clear that metering alone can reduce theft if the fundamental problem is collusion between collection agents and utility customers, at the expense of power suppliers. Our study (PIs: Prof. Michael Greenstone, Prof. Robin Burgess, Prof. Nicholas Ryan and Prof. Anant Sudarshan) would conduct a large-scale neighbourhood level randomized-control trial to answer this question in a critical developing country setting, working jointly on implementation with state distribution utility of Assam Power Distribution Company Limited.

Education: Bachelors in Economics/Engineering Flooding fields for paddy cultivation is water-intensive, power-intensive, and releases methane that contributes to climate change. Projections suggest that water demand will exceed the supply by 50% by 2030. Free power exacerbates the fiscal cost to the state of over-consumption of water. Agricultural practices like direct seeded rice (DSR) and alternate wetting and drying (AWD) already exist and are being actively promoted by many state governments including GoT to reduce water use in paddy cultivation without affecting the productivity or quality of rice. We suggest increasing the adoption of these practices by paying rice farmers as an incentive for reducing water use. Whether or not a farmer is using alternate methods of growing rice will be validated through a new model. The incentive program implementation model would be: (i) use satellite imagery of field flooding to measure adoption at scale and (ii) deliver timely direct transfers via GoTs existing payments infrastructure. Farmers would receive additional extension information on AWD and DSR alongside the incentives. This proposed DBT for sustainable practices would encourage conservation of groundwater and power. Research Associate Roles and Responsibilities: The RA will work closely with academic researchers and other field staff to perform a variety of tasks including, but not limited to: Overseeing implementation of the evaluation in accordance to the research design.
