| description |
The study's principal objective was
to develop a practical method to measure the benefits of
rural electrification. This method involved both formal and
informal techniques of data collection; quantitative and
qualitative methods of analysis; and concepts such as
quality of life, effects on education, and other key
components of social development. Critical to the analysis
is the separation of electricity from the many other factors
that affect socioeconomic outcomes, such as income, level of
education, and the returns to household investment in
education. The major conclusion of this study is that the
benefits of electricity are derived from a variety of
sources. The study also suggests future research and
analytical needs. One key conclusion is that it is possible
to measure benefits traditionally considered intangible in
monetary terms. The benefit estimates appear substantial,
even for low-income populations. |
