Time Use Impacts of Rural Electrification: Longitudinal Evidence from Guatemala

This research examines how obtaining a household electric connection affects the time allocation of rural, indigenous Guatemalans during 2000–2011. This data is comprised of a pooled sample of the 2000 and 2011 Guatemalan national household surveys, Enquesta Nationale de Condiciones de Vida (ENCOVI). The original data collectors, ENCOVI, included time-use diaries as part of a household survey. The survey was undertaken to examine living conditions in Guatemala. It is cross-sectional and nationally representative. The same questions were posed to respondents in both 2000 and 2011.
