Using data from the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey, our endogeneity-corrected results indicate that membership of a health financing program can contribute to reduction in household food insecurity. The results are robust to alternative conceptualisations of food insecurity and different quasi-experimental methods. The effect of health financing programme membership on food insecurity is more pronounced among urban and female-headed households. Our findings further point to household savings as an important channel through which membership of health financing program reduces food insecurity.</p>","PeriodicalId":1,"journal":{"name":"Accounts of Chemical Research","volume":" ","pages":"595-621"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141200744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of the development of the digital economy on the energy rebound effect is still being determined. This paper is based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2021. A stochastic frontier model of energy demand is built to examine the influence of the digital economy on the energy rebound effect. The findings are as follows: (1) Digital economy significantly promotes the energy rebound effect. The average energy rebound impact is calculated to be 55.1%. (2) Urbanization strengthens the positive effect of the digital economy on the rebound effect. (3) Different provinces experience the rebound effect differently due to the digital economy. The digital economy has a more significant role in fostering the rebound effect in places with higher R&D intensity, lower coal share, and higher secondary sector share. This study argues that we should deepen the reform of energy prices, promote sophisticated energy-saving technology development, and promote energy structure transformation while expanding the digital economy to mitigate the negative impact of the rebound effect effectively.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 114418"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that Fintech significantly boosts Mrgue, particularly in the eastern regions of China. However, these effects are less pronounced in the central and western regions. The marginal impact of Fintech on Mrgue is notably positive and strengthens at higher quantiles. A significant improvement in Mrgue is observed only after Fintech surpasses a specific threshold.

This research paper explores the policy implications of implementing residential photovoltaic (PV) solar systems in two developing regions, Jamaica, and Ghana, and emphasizes the role of policy frameworks in shaping the sustainable energy landscape. The study employs a multifaceted approach, combining System Advisor Model (SAM) analysis – which reveals promising energy production potential in both regions, with substantial economic benefits – and a risk assessment to evaluate the feasibility, economic viability, and potential barriers to residential PV solar adoption. Financial assessments indicate competitive payback periods and favorable returns on investment, suggesting that residential PV systems can offer cost-effective energy solutions. Identifying potential barriers to adoption through a comprehensive risk assessment highlights challenges related to policy instability, financing constraints, and technical limitations. Policy recommendations and strategies for mitigating these barriers are proposed to accelerate the transition to renewable energy sources in both regions. The findings underscore the potential for solar energy to address energy access challenges while advancing economic development, environmental sustainability, and energy resilience in Jamaica, and Ghana, while offering valuable lessons for similar contexts worldwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11672,"journal":{"name":"Energy Policy","volume":"196 ","pages":"Article 114414"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142658503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
