Fuel Availability and Java Households Cooking Fuel Choices: Evidence from Indonesia’s LPG Subsidy Policy

In 2007, Indonesia launched a 3 kg Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinder for poor households, and micro-enterprises were started on Java island to reduce the burden of fuel subsidies. In its implementation, the subsidized LPG may also be used by non-target households, which has implications for the...
