“…Second, we enrich the understanding of the significance of improving sanitation by focusing on rural residents' expenditures. Previous literature has investigated sanitation's implications for multiple aspects like health conditions (Cameron et al, 2021; Duflo et al, 2015), education improvement (Adukia, 2017; Hamlet & Kaminsky, 2023), labour supply (Shen et al, 2023; Wang & Shen, 2022) and economic performance (Kresch et al, 2023). For instance, Cameron et al (2021) proved that sanitation could reduce miscarriages in Indonesia.…”

This study analysed the effects of flush toilet use on health and non‐health expenditures incurred by rural Chinese. The instrumental‐variable‐based Tobit and endogenous treatment regression models were used to analyse the 2016 China Labour Force Dynamics Survey data while addressing the selection bias inherent in flush toilet use. The results showed that by improving rural residents' physical and mental health, flush toilet use reduced per capita health expenditure while increasing non‐health expenditure. Furthermore, using flush toilets had positive spillover effects, reducing the health expenditures of even those who did not use them. Factors affecting flush toilet use were also analysed.

“…Wang and Shen (2022) found that using flush toilets significantly increased rural residents' work time by 0.253-0.431 h/day in China. Kresch et al (2023) documented that access to the city sewer system reinforced people's affordability to property tax. In reality, the significance of sanitation to human development goes far beyond these.…”

“…Krause (2020) found that tax payments increased 27% as a consequence of an intervention that increased municipal garbage removal in some randomly selected census blocks in Carrefour, Haiti. Lastly, Kresch et al (2023) provides nonexperimental evidence from Manaus, Brazil, showing that households with access to the city sewer system are more likely to pay property taxes. We contribute to these studies by disentangling the underlying causal mechanisms.…”

Advances in Field Experiments, RIDGE, IIPF, Journees LAGV, and NOVAFRICA. This project was reviewed and approved in advance by the Institutional Review Board at The University of Texas at Dallas. The field experiment was pre-registered in the AEA RCT Registry (#0007483). To prevent contamination of the subject pool (e.g., that subjects could read about the hypotheses being tested), we posted the RCT pre-registration immediately after the deadline to file a protest had passed, but before conducting any analysis of the data. After the study is accepted for publication, we will share all the code and data through a public repository. Xinmei Yang and Miriam Malament provided superb research assistance.
