| dc.description.abstractEn | This article tests for the presence of social interaction effects on households' decision to connect to a newly installed electrical grid in rural Ethiopia and attempts to identify the underlying factors at work. Understanding households' connection decisions has led to significant debates at a time when rural electrification is being promoted throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The article reveals that the investigation relies on the random allocation of nontransferable vouchers that provided a discount on connection to the grid, along with household-level global positioning system (GPS) locations. Connection price being an important driver of a household?s choice to connect, the vouchers provide an exogenous variation in the number of connected neighbors within a particular distance radius, allowing us to identify social multipliers effects. | |
