摘要

摘要本文考察了电力获取对金融发展的影响。在此过程中，我们使用了许多工具变量(IV)方法。利用2000年至2018年期间撒哈拉以南非洲38个国家的面板数据，结果表明，更多的人获得电力可以促进金融发展。此外，移动电话和商业银行分支机构的扩散是获得电力影响金融发展的潜在渠道。我们的结果对样本分裂和不同的估计技术具有鲁棒性。研究结果对克服电力获取障碍的政策具有重要意义。

Lightening the path to financial development: The power of electricity

Abstract This paper examines the impact of access to electricity on financial development. In doing so, we use a number of instrumental variables (IV) approaches. Using panel data for 38 countries in Sub‐Saharan Africa over the period 2000–2018, the results suggest that more people having access to electricity can promote financial development. In addition, mobile phone and commercial bank branches diffusion serve as potential channels through which access to electricity affects financial development. Our results are robust to sample‐splitting and different estimation techniques. The results have important implications for policies in overcoming barriers to electricity access.
