【 摘 要 】

Using panel data for Peru for 1994-2000,the authors find that when households receive two, or moreservices jointly, the welfare increases as measured bychanges in consumption are larger than when services areprovided separately. The increases appear to be more thanproportional, as F-tests on the coefficients of thecorresponding regressors confirm. Thus, the authors findthat bundling services may help realize welfare effects.
