Working Paper Sub-Saharan African countries have long been beset with energy poverty. While there are already many studies on how to improve access to modern energy services in the region, those energy planning analyses are dominated by residential energy demand, and not much attention has yet been paid to the productive use of energy in […]
Modeling the optimal energy solutions for irrigation in Ethiopia
Research Post Agriculture accounts for 34% of Ethiopia’s GDP and 67% of its employment, and development of irrigation is widely seen as a promising option to boost agricultural production and enhance agricultural resilience in the country. However, energy use in irrigated agriculture in Ethiopia is insignificant at present, and access to energy sources is often lacking, […]
Energy solutions for irrigation in Ethiopia
Brief The policy brief presents a short summary of a study from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) that used an integrated irrigation-energy planning framework to identify groundwater irrigation development potentials in Ethiopia under three energy solutions: grid-connected electricity, off-grid solar PV, and diesel.

Telescoping error in recalled food consumption: Evidence from a survey experiment in Ethiopia
Journal Article Telescoping errors occur if survey respondents misdate events from outside the reference period and include them in their recall. Concern about telescoping influenced the design of early Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) surveys, which used a two-visit interview format to bound food consumption recall. This design fell out of favor although not for […]
Measuring consumption over the phone: Evidence from a survey experiment in urban Ethiopia
Working Paper The paucity of reliable, timely household consumption data in many low- and middle-income countries has made it difficult to assess how global poverty has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic. Standard poverty measurement requires collecting household consumption data, which is rarely done by phone. To test the feasibility of collecting consumption data over the […]
