Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the convergence of national electricity access rates in 51 African countries from 2000 to 2022. Moreover, we also assessed the convergence of urban and rural electricity access rates in Africa. The results reveal evidence for stochastic convergence of electricity access rates. The results also support the incidence of beta convergence and show that national output, population, and institutional quality facilitate the incidence of beta convergence of the electricity series. Sigma convergence analysis results also suggest the existence of convergence of electricity access rates.

非洲国家城乡通电率趋同动态

本研究的目的是分析从2000年到2022年51个非洲国家的国家电力接入率的趋同。此外，我们还评估了非洲城乡通电率的趋同情况。结果揭示了电力接入率随机收敛的证据。结果也支持贝塔收敛的发生，表明国家产出、人口和制度质量促进了电力序列的贝塔收敛的发生。Sigma收敛分析结果也表明，电力接入率存在收敛性。

期刊介绍： Utilities Policy is deliberately international, interdisciplinary, and intersectoral. Articles address utility trends and issues in both developed and developing economies. Authors and reviewers come from various disciplines, including economics, political science, sociology, law, finance, accounting, management, and engineering. Areas of focus include the utility and network industries providing essential electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, solid waste, communications, broadband, postal, and public transportation services. Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
