Does installation subsidy on cook stoves improve women's health? Empirical evidence from India 1: ETH Zurich, Switzerland; 2: Universita della Svizzera italiana, Switzerland In 2015, about 2.7 billion people worldwide lived without access to clean cooking fuels and technology, according to the IEA report. Out of this, about 25 % resided in India, making up 56 % of Indian households. Many developing countries have initiated programs and initiatives to promote a transition to cleaner cooking fuels. This paper empirically analyzes the impact of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), the world's largest government program, designed to promote the adoption of LPG and indirectly support women's health. To achieve this goal, we proceed in three steps. First, we evaluate the program's impact on LPG adoption in Indian households. Then, we establish a causal relation between the use of LPG and the hemoglobin level of women. Finally, we estimate the program's direct impact on the hemoglobin level of women. The empirical strategy employs a difference-in-difference analysis using repeated cross-sections. The empirical results based on a large sample show that the program has an impact on the adoption of LPG and on women's health status. | |
