| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I wrote two papers using data collected for the research project:
1. "Short-run Impact of Electricity on Social Capital: Evidence from a Rural Electricity Program". This paper has received conditional acceptance from the prestigious journal Empirical Economics, and I hope it will be published soon.
2. "Designing Nonlinear Electricity Pricing with Misperceptions: Evidence from Free Electricity Policy". This paper is still a work in progress. We plan to complete it this year and submit it to a top economics journal.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
Access to electricity in developing countries is increasing. Effective pricing mechanisms are crucial to achieving environmental and developmental goals. This study examines the welfare effects of nonlinear pricing and the impact of electricity on social engagement and interactions.
