Exploring the links between energy poverty and international migration: Evidence from developing countries
The determinants of international migration are well developed in the literature. But we know very little about the effects of energy poverty (EP) on it. This article aims to fill this gap. Starting with a sample of 102 developing countries observed over the period 2000 to 2022, we specify a model estimated by the econometric methods of Driscoll, Lewbel, Kinky Least Square and S-GMM. Our results show that energy poverty, captured by access to electricity (Elec) and clean fuels (Clean), has a positive and significant effect on migration flows. Our results remain robust to various tests and suggest public policies aimed at promoting renewable and decentralized energy infrastructures.
期刊介绍:
Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques.
Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
