I created a brief spreadsheet of reductions I've heard of so far. Any additions you know of (especially if you have the links/receipts) would be great: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This has been a major puzzle for energy/dev: Electrification is essential for a modern economy, but WTP in developing contexts (and impacts) seem quite low.
There's a JMP this year from Abdou Cisse @ Berkeley ARE that helps explain why: ⬇️ reliability, ⬇️ WTP. Impressive paper.

(1/5) Interesting set of questions. I had not seen the Cai-Szeidl paper, nor the Sterba paper referenced by Pustejovsky. Both are quite nice and recommended, especially the classification of cases in Figure 1 in Sterba. Here is my (preliminary) view.
