The Challenge of Improving Water and Sanitation Services in Less Developed Countries

By: Dale Whittington,W. Michael Hanemann,Claudia Sadoff,Marc Jeuland

This paper argues that there are many challenges to designing and implementing water and sanitation interventions that actually deliver economic benefits to the households in developing countries. Perhaps most critical to successful water and sanitation investments is to discover and implement forms of service and payment mechanisms that will render the improvements worthwhile for those who must pay for them. In this paper, we argue that, in many cases, the conventional network technologies of water supply and sanitation will fail this test, and that poor households need alternative, non-network technologies. However, it will not necessarily be the case that specific non-network improved water supply and/or sanitation technologies will always be seen as worthwhile by those who must pay for them. We argue that there is no easy panacea to resolve this situation. For any intervention, the outcome is likely to be context-dependent. An intervention that works well in one locality may fail miserably in another. For any given technology, the outcome will depend on economic and social conditions, including how it is implemented, by whom, and often on the extent to which complementary behavioral, institutional and organizational changes also occur. For this reason, we warn against excessive generalization: one cannot, in our view, say that one intervention yields a rate of return of x% while another yields a return of y%, because the economic returns are likely to vary with local circumstances. More important is to identify the circumstances under which an intervention is more or less likely to succeed. Also for this reason, when we analyze a few selected water and sanitation interventions, we employ a probabilistic rather than a deterministic analysis to emphasize that real world outcomes are likely to vary substantially.

Consumer Behaviour

Applications in Marketing

By: Robert East,Jaywant Singh,Malcolm Wright,Marc Vanhuele

‘A serious, thoughtful consumer behaviour text that focuses on substance rather than what′s fashionable in academic circles.’ Professor Byron Sharp, Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, University of South Australia ‘A thought-provoking text that challenges readers to consider consumer behaviour in new and refreshing ways and reflect on routine behaviours that occupy so much of daily life – buying brands, patronising stores, watching adverts, making recommendations.’ Professor Mark Uncles, Deputy Dean, Australian School of Business, University of New South Wales Written by respected marketing academics, this popular textbook extends beyond a basic psychological approach to Consumer Behaviour by providing a more empirical understanding of the subject, helping students grasp marketing applications at both individual and market levels. The fourth edition maintains a strong focus on research, particularly quantitative methods, helping higher-level students develop analytical and evidence-based thinking for success in scholarly and industry-based marketing research. The textbook contains new examples, exercises and research findings, along with recent advancements in the digital environment. Suitable for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in consumer behaviour, as well as doctoral candidates with a focus on consumer behaviour. Robert East is Emeritus Professor at Kingston University London, UK. Jaywant Singh is Professor of Marketing at Southampton Business School, University of Southampton, UK.
