Author: KHIENG Sothy, PhD - December , 2016

This research project is the first baseline socioeconomic survey conducted by CDRI for the Greater Mekong Subregion Transmission Project of the Asian Development Bank. It was designed to develop a set of comprehensive baseline demographic, social and economic as well as energy consumption indicators for the project. The tools for data collection were village and household surveys in 27 villages, 17 potential project beneficiaries (treatment group) and 10 non-beneficiaries (control group). Propensity score matching was used to predict the probability of household participation in the two groups.
