Commitment Mechanisms and Compliance with Health-protecting Behavior: Preliminary Evidence from Orissa (India)
Abstract
In this paper, we present results which are part of larger study carried out in five
districts of the eastern Indian state of Orissa, where endemic malaria represents
one of the most serious public health concerns. One of the study's objectives, designed
in collaboration with the micro-lender Bharat Integrated Social Welfare Agency, was
to evaluate the possibility of using specifically-designed consumer loan contracts
to increase ITN ownership and retreatment rates.
