The Effects of Cassava Drying Technology on Commercialization and Consumption Smoothing
REFNo: SS1700ES

The main goals of the pilot RCT are to ascertain the technical efficiency of the machines, the viability of the model where agents operate the machines and charge a fee for drying, and to observe how harvest and sales timing, consumption and cropping decisions change when farmers gain access to drying technology. In addition, we will explore additional mechanisms including varying the contract structure, and getting a sense of which channels are most salient to focus on (e.g. how likely we would be to detect effects on intertemporal smoothing beyond addressing the barriers to adoption to a seemingly profitable technology).
