<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Thanks Crispin, These are valuable thoughts. .... Im also thinking that there would also be such price mechanisms on the fuel side. ... that is the payment could be arranged in the fuel purchases instead to pay for the stove in increments. <br><br></div>There was another arrangement that the payment could be in terms of carbon buy backs from the char making stoves. <br><br></div>REgards<br><br></div>Jed <br><div><div><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><b><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Joshua B.

Cecil Cook found that there was a good question to ask when doing such research. It is, “How much cash can someone accumulate in their pocket (in day’s wages) before it starts to leak out.”<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">In Lusaka that was about 10 day’s income. At 11 day’s income it starts to disappear through additional routes. Thus if the day’s wage was $0.25 the maximum incidental purchase would be $2.50. If it was $1.00 it was $10.00. This is independent of willingness to pay, just ability to gather cash. It is a valuable number.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">If an improved, or greatly improve stove, costs more than 10 day’s wage in the target category, they would not buy it. If it was ‘lay by’ at the shop until paid for, the amount tripled (because the shop keeper was only willing to do that for 2 months). Finance options are important.<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Regards<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><u></u><u></u></font></span></span></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Crispin<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p></font></span></div><span class=""><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Stoves sold greater than<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> 1: greater than $ 17.77 and beyond: business persons<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> 2 : between $ 7.77 to 17.77 regularly employed workers<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> 3 : between $ 7.77and 2.22 partly employed workers, street food vendors<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"> 4: below $ 2.22 marginal families <u></u><u></u></p></div></span></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
