Technology

This project investigates how and when higher demand-side quality standards induce technology adoption in low-income countries.

This study investigates the drivers and barriers to the adoption of sustainable energy sources among ready-made garment factories in Bangladesh.

Green technologies that are less resource-intensive hold the potential to mitigate the negative effects of climate change both by helping firms cope with adverse events (e.g., withstanding network power outages or increase in costs of traditional energy sources) and by lowering carbon emissions at the aggregate level. However, limited access to financing and poor management practices in LICs prevent many firms from adopting these technologies.

The researchers study the uptake and livelihood impact of Electric Pressure Cookers (EPCs) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This study will examine how Internet-of Things technologies that enable automated electricity demand management can drive the clean energy transition.

This project evaluates the impact of a new agricultural development model based around solar mini-grids on resilience and sustainability.

This project will exploit a unique natural experiment, the introduction of high-speed internet in Africa, to shed light on the effects of fast internet on banking.
