      abstract = {Maternal nutrition during pregnancy can have significant  implications for a child's prenatal growth and development,  and undernutrition experienced during the prenatal period  increases the risk of early childhood morbidity and  mortality and can permanently impair a child's physical  growth and cognitive development. We use new data from  Ghana generated using contingent valuation and experimental  auction techniques to estimate willingness-to-pay (WTP) for  LNS, a new nutrient supplement aimed at preventing maternal  undernutrition during pregnancy. · We also explore the  relative importance of individual and household  characteristics as well as information about the long-term  benefits of preventing undernutrition on WTP. We find that  WTP is· positive for a large majority of individuals in our  samples, and the level of WTP varies significantly with  individual and household characteristics including gender,  household food insecurity, and household expenditures.  These findings suggest important policy implications for  the development of delivery options and pricing mechanisms  for LNS.},
