onstove.Technology.net_benefit

Technology.net_benefit(model: onstove.OnStove, w_health: int = 1, w_spillovers: int = 1, w_environment: int = 1, w_time: int = 1, w_costs: int = 1)

This method combines all costs and benefits as specified by the user using the weights parameters. Function does not return anything but saves the total benefits in the benefits attribute of the OnStove object and the net-benefits in the net-benefits attribute of the OnStove net-benefits object.

Parameters:

model: OnStove model

Instance of the OnStove model containing the main data of the study case. See onstove.OnStove.

w_health: int, default 1

Determines the weight of the health parameters (reduced morbidity and mortality) in the net-benefit equation.

w_spillovers: int, default 1

Determines the weight of the spillover effects from cooking with traditional fuels in the net-benefit equation.

w_environment: int, default 1

Determines the weight of the environmental effects (reduced emissions) in the net-benefit equation.

w_time: int, default 1

Determines the weight of the opportunity cost (reduced time spent) in the net-benefit equation.

w_costs: int, default 1

Determines the weight of the costs in the net-benefit equation.
