DOI: 10.1016/j.deveng.2020.100056
Abstract: Abstract Empirical social sciences rely heavily on surveys to measure human behavior. Previous studies show that such data are prone to random errors and systematic biases caused by social desirability, recall challenges, and the Hawthorne… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.esd.2021.03.008
Abstract: Abstract Mini-grids are the lowest-cost solutions for electrifying many homes and businesses in rural communities with low energy access. Estimates of the electricity demand of unelectrified customers are a crucial input to selecting mini-grid sites,… read more here.
