摘要

研究背景:孟加拉国政府制定了一项计划,到2030年,太阳能和其他可再生能源将产生十分之一的电力。直到2015年,孟加拉国的太阳能采用率激增,为以前没有通电的地区创造了全球先例。太阳能系统提供的增强照明带来了立竿见影的好处,包括增加了家庭和商业活动的时间,延长了上学儿童的学习时间。本文目的:本研究旨在通过分析2011-12年、2015年和2018-19年三轮孟加拉国综合家庭调查,确定农村地区采用太阳能的决定因素和福利收益。除了提供对经济、环境和教育福利收益的新估计之外,我们的研究还提供了关于太阳能采用与农村就业和五岁以下儿童营养之间关系的见解。方法:我们利用普通最小二乘法和倾向得分匹配技术来估计太阳能采用的福利效应。只有那些不使用电力作为主要照明来源的家庭,例如那些依赖太阳能或煤油的家庭,才被考虑在我们的样本中。的发现,附加值:我们发现采用太阳能与更高的收入、增加的支出和资产价值的增长有关。此外,与非采用者相比,采用者的煤油支出显著减少。其他观察结果显示,安装了太阳能装置的家庭往往会从佃农转变为贸易和家禽养殖。这些家庭的儿童在教育和营养方面也受益于太阳能收养。这项研究说明了太阳能如何有效地解决政府无法供电的地区的各种福利问题。鉴于最近的全球事件使不发达国家更容易为其全体人口提供稳定的电力,这项研究表明,在危机期间,太阳能是一种有弹性的电气化解决方案。

Social benefits of solar energy: Evidence from Bangladesh
Research background: The Bangladeshi government has set a plan to generate one-tenth of its electricity from solar and other renewable sources by 2030. Solar adoption surged in Bangladesh up until 2015, setting a global precedent for electrifying areas that were previously unconnected. The enhanced lighting offered by solar systems provides immediate benefits, including additional hours for household and business activities and extended study hours for school-going children. Purpose of the article: This study seeks to identify the determinants and welfare gains of solar adoption in rural areas by analysing three rounds of the Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey from 2011–12, 2015, and 2018–19. In addition to presenting new estimates of economic, environmental, and educational welfare gains, our research offers insights into how solar adoption relates to rural employment and the nutrition of children under five. Methods: We utilized both ordinary least squares and propensity score matching techniques to estimate the welfare effects of solar adoption. Only households that do not use electricity as their primary lighting source, such as those relying on solar or kerosene, are considered in our sample. Findings & value added: We have discovered that adopting solar is linked to higher income, increased expenditure, and growth in asset value. Additionally, there is a significant reduction in kerosene expenditure among adopters compared to non-adopters. Other observations reveal that households with solar setups tend to transition from sharecropping to trading and poultry farming. Children in these households also benefit from solar adoption in terms of education and nutrition. This study illustrates how solar energy can effectively address various welfare concerns in areas where the government cannot supply electricity. Given that recent global events have rendered underdeveloped countries more vulnerable to providing consistent electricity to their entire populations, this research suggests solar energy as a resilient electrification solution during crises.

期刊介绍: The Oeconomia Copernicana is an academic quarterly journal aimed at academicians, economic policymakers, and students studying finance, accounting, management, and economics. It publishes academic articles on contemporary issues in economics, finance, banking, accounting, and management from various research perspectives. The journal's mission is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research that contributes to the development of these disciplines and has practical relevance. The journal encourages the use of various research methods, including falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of theories, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication, and a combination of qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, and meta-analytic approaches. While the journal prioritizes comprehensive manuscripts that include methodological-based theoretical and empirical research with implications for policymaking, it also welcomes submissions focused solely on theory or methodology.
