Abstract

Theoretically, the impact of human development on energy poverty could occur through a number of channels, for instance, through improved social mobility and employability. In this study, we elaborate on these channels and examine how human development affects energy poverty in Africa, where access to electricity is a challenge for many. We proxy human development with scores on the human development index (HDI), human capital and education levels and analyse panel data on 40 African countries from 2000 to 2018. Employing a battery of estimation methods, the results suggest that an increase in human development generally improves energy poverty.

人类发展对消除能源贫困的重要性

从理论上讲，人类发展对能源贫困的影响可以通过多种渠道产生，例如通过提高社会流动性和就业能力。在本研究中，我们详细阐述了这些渠道，并研究了人类发展如何影响非洲的能源贫困，因为在非洲，用电对很多人来说都是一个挑战。我们用人类发展指数（HDI）、人力资本和教育水平来代表人类发展，并分析了 2000 年至 2018 年 40 个非洲国家的面板数据。采用一系列估算方法得出的结果表明，人类发展水平的提高通常会改善能源贫困状况。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
