摘要

在全球范围内,农村地区的基础设施相对城市地区较少。政治和发展经济学家主要将基础设施分布的这种差异归咎于治理。文献充分讨论了城乡基础设施不平等在贫困等发展结果中的作用。然而,人们对城乡基础设施差距对环境的影响知之甚少。为了促进知识和政策讨论,我们利用 2000-2020 年 47 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的数据,研究了城乡能源获取(不)平等对环境退化的影响以及治理所起的作用。基于异方差的工具变量回归与 Driscoll 和 Kraay 的估计一致,其证据显示,消除城乡能源获取不平等与减少环境退化有关。我们还发现,所使用的治理相关变量的直接效应好坏参半。调节效应和边际效应估计表明,改善治理质量是城乡能源获取平等的条件,从而减少环境退化。从政策角度来看,这些研究结果表明,在良好治理体系的支持下实施农村电气化政策,将在缓解发展中国家的环境退化方面发挥至关重要的作用。

Impact of rural-urban energy equality on environmental sustainability and the role of governance

Globally, rural areas suffer from less infrastructure relative to urban areas. Political and development economists have mainly attributed this disparity in infrastructure distribution to governance. The literature has sufficiently discussed the role that rural-urban infrastructure inequality plays in development outcomes such as poverty. However, not much is known about the effect of the rural-urban infrastructure gap on the environment. To contribute to knowledge and policy discussions, we investigate the impact of rural-urban energy access (in)equality on environmental degradation and the role governance plays using data from 47 sub-Saharan African countries from 2000–2020. Evidence from the heteroskedasticity-based instrumental variable regression consistent with Driscoll and Kraay's estimation revealed that bridging rural-urban energy access inequality is associated with reduction in environmental degradation. We also documented that the direct effect of the governance-related variables used is mixed. The moderation and marginal effect estimates showed that improving governance quality conditions equality in rural-urban energy access to reduce environmental degradation. From a policy perspective, these findings suggest that the implementation of rural electrification policies supported by a good governance system would play a crucial role in mitigating environmental degradation in developing countries.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Policy Modeling is published by Elsevier for the Society for Policy Modeling to provide a forum for analysis and debate concerning international policy issues. The journal addresses questions of critical import to the world community as a whole, and it focuses upon the economic, social, and political interdependencies between national and regional systems. This implies concern with international policies for the promotion of a better life for all human beings and, therefore, concentrates on improved methodological underpinnings for dealing with these problems.
