Determinants and Benefits of Household Level Participation in Rural Drinking Water Projects in India
基于印度45个村庄的家庭数据，研究发现财富、识字率、家庭和村庄规模影响参与社区发展项目的两种方式：参加会议和出资。参与能带来收益，且在高参与地区收益更强，未发现精英俘获现象。
Abstract Using data from households in 45 villages in rural India, this paper finds that wealth, literacy, household and village size are often determinants of two measures of participation in community-based development projects: meeting attendance and capital cost contributions. Using propensity score matching, this study concludes that participation leads to benefits for the households that participate although these benefits are strongest in regions with higher levels of overall participation. This study finds no evidence of elite capture with both poor and wealthy households benefiting from their participation.
