Energy Conservation for Low-Income Households: The Evaporative Cooler Experience.
Ridge, Richard S.
Evaluation Review, v12 n2 p170-85 Apr 1988
An econometric analysis, using a research design based on the nonequivalent control group (NECG), assessed the effectiveness of a program offering free evaporative coolers to low-income families owning air conditioners. The NECG controls for serious threats to internal validity, except for self-selection. The program successfully reduced energy consumption. (TJH)
