The combustion of solid fuel with an inefficient cookstove is the primary cause of indoor air pollution (IAP), especially in developing countries. The problem of IAP has been identified as a prominent source of environmental health hazards, responsible for the premature deaths of 4.3 million people in 2012 (WHO, 2014) and 5 percent of the global burden of disease, expressed in terms of disability-adjusted life years. To solve IAP problems, I examine how to encourage rural households to choose clean energy, using data from Bhutan and India.
