摘要

本研究评估了经济激励措施对越南贫困/近乎贫困家庭拥有卫生厕所的影响。农村乡镇被随机分配到一个对照组和三个处理组:(T1)对安装卫生厕所的家庭给予回扣;(T2)如果乡镇的卫生厕所比例提高了 30 个百分点,乡镇政府将获得财政奖励;(T3)同时给予家庭回扣和乡镇奖励。我们发现,家庭返利(处理方案 1 和 3)对家庭拥有化粪池厕所有很强的积极影响,但乡镇奖励(处理方案 2)对家庭拥有化粪池厕所的影响并不显著。我们的分析提供了提示性证据,表明小额贷款是鼓励安装化粪池厕所的一个渠道。我们还发现,治疗方案 3 提高了人们对环境卫生的认识,以及家庭内洗手用水和肥皂的可用性。

Financial incentives for sanitation take-up: A randomized control trial in rural Vietnam

This study assesses the impact of financial incentives on hygienic latrine ownership by poor/near-poor households in Vietnam. Rural communes were randomly assigned to a control group and three treatment arm groups: (T1) a rebate for households that installed a hygienic latrine; (T2) a financial reward for commune governments if the proportion of hygienic latrines in their commune increased by 30 percentage points; (T3) both a household rebate and a commune reward. We find a strong and positive effect from the household rebate (treatment arms 1 and 3) but an insignificant effect from the commune reward (treatment arm 2) on household ownership of a septic tank latrine. Our analysis provides suggestive evidence that microcredit is a channel through which a rebate encourages the installation of septic tank latrines. We also find that treatment arm 3 increases people's knowledge regarding sanitation and the availability of water and soap for handwashing within households.
