Public Mosquito Abatement : A Cluster Randomized Experiment

Public Mosquito Abatement : A Cluster Randomized Experiment

Mosquito abatement is a public good. A simultaneous model of mosquito abundance and abatement response is developed. This paper uses data from a cluster randomized controlled experiment conducted over the period 2012-2014 in urban areas of Reunion...

A simultaneous model of mosquito abundance and abatement response is developed. This paper uses data from a cluster randomized controlled experiment conducted over the period 2012-2014 in urban areas of Reunion in France to study the impact of WHO-recommended mechanical elimination techniques, which involve removing sources of stagnant water around the house, on a number of outcomes, including objective entomological indices and self-declared protective behaviors. Empirical results document that households reduce their protective behavior in response to public control. This study holds implications for arboviral disease control, including Zika control. 2017-02-22T23:12:45Z 2017-02-22T23:12:45Z 2017-02 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/552881487791877767/Public-mosquito-abatement-a-cluster-randomized-experiment http://hdl.handle.net/10986/26147 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7980 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Africa Europe and Central Asia Sub-Saharan Africa Reunion
