    Innovations for Poverty Action - Rwanda
    Supervision

    Regular field supervision was provided by the organization responsible for data collection, Innovations for Poverty Action - Rwanda. Supervision included regular unannounced field visits and refresher trainings of all enumerators every other month. Research team staff conducted random spot checks of field work.

    Data Collection Notes

    Data was collected through in-person interviews (enumerators recorded data on tablets) from January 2017 through March 2020. Due to the global pandemic, fieldwork halted in March 2020 and data collection switched to phone-based surveys using the same enumeration team and a comparable survey instrument.

    Data processing

    Data Editing

    2-3 price points were taken per product at each market per month. In order to deal with outliers, prices were logged and averaged to get mean monthly prices, then exponentiated to be interpretable.
    Where a product was not available, there is no price data. However, there are cases where a product was available but price data was not available.
