This dataset is a preliminary version of the data described in Iacovone and McKenzie (forthcoming). It conforms to an earlier blog post written by one of the authors (McKenzie, 2017) and contains data collected during a randomized controlled trial on supply chains among fresh produce vendors in Bogota, Colombia.

A data frame with 3336 rows and 8 variables:
business block (geographic identifier)
randomly assigned treatment pairs (plus one triplet)
treatment status (1 = yes, 2 = no)
number of days that week requiring visits to Corabastos central market
baseline of the previous variable
dummy for missing baseline information (1 = yes, 2 = no)
survey round dummies
The RCT studies the impact of purchase aggregation by many microenterprises (here: fruit and vegetable vendors), which enables a reduction in costly individual visits to a large central market. My thanks to David McKenzie for sharing the data.
