Questions and instructions
Question pretext
Respondent should be most knowledgeable member on household electricity.
For each household, CAPI will randomly assign one of the 3 following amounts in the placeholder ${CF}: 33%, 67%, or 100% of the connection fee in local currency.
As you know, electricity requires several types of payments: Think about there being three parts to the cost of electricity: connection, wiring, and monthly use. In other words, to use electricity you need to have a wire from a meter in your house to the pole first. That is the connection. You also need to have wires to connect appliances within your house to the meter. This is the wiring. Finally, to keep using electricity you must pay for what is used and measured by the meter, or it will be turned off, this is the cost of monthly use. To begin with, please think of only the first cost of connecting – getting a wire from the electricity poles to a meter on your house.
I would now like you to think about a situation that is not real. Imagine that you could pay a “lump sum” price for an electricity connection. In other words, you are offered a price and a period of time to decide whether to take this price. If you decide to take the price, you have to pay all at once, after which you are immediately connected. As you answer the next few questions, assume that all other wiring fees and monthly service fees for using electricity, once you have the connection, remain the same as they are now.
