摘要

关于电力供应影响的文献通常是不确定的。潜在的原因包括地理差异、有限的外部有效性(由于关注小规模项目)和一些研究的自我选择偏差(由于没有考虑到观察到的和未观察到的异质性)。此外,关于能量-性别关系的大部分文献涉及性别之间而不是性别内部的差异,这被认为是相关的,因为特定性别群体的社会经济特征确实不同。我们在文献中解决了其中的一些问题,使用内生性转换回归(作为识别策略)和2016/2017年卢旺达国家第五次综合家庭生活条件调查数据来检查电力采用决策和电气化对卢旺达农村福利结果的影响。我们发现,获得电力对等效消费量和劳动力参与率分别产生了3.097%和22天的积极影响。我们发现显著的正过渡异质性效应,表明未观察到的因素确实夸大了估计的影响。此外,结果揭示了电气化对劳动力参与和同等消费支出的影响的显著男女差距(在垂直和水平变化方面)。我们将讨论政策含义。

Rural access to electricity and welfare outcomes in Rwanda: Addressing issues of transitional heterogeneities and between and within gender disparities

The literature on the impact of electricity access are generally inconclusive. Potential causes include geographical differences, limited external validity (due to the focus on small-scale projects) and self-selection bias (due to not accounting for observed and unobserved heterogeneities) of some studies. Moreover, a large part of the literature on energy-gender nexus addresses between-gender instead of within-gender disparity, which is considered relevant because socio-economic characteristics do differ within a particular gender group. We address some of these concerns in the literature, using the endogenous switching regression (as identifying strategy) and the Rwanda national fifth Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey data of 2016/2017 to examine electricity adoption decision and impact of electrification on welfare outcomes in rural Rwanda. We find that having access to electricity impacts positively on equivalised consumption and labour force participation by 3.097 percent and 22 more days, respectively. We find significant positive transitional heterogeneity effects, suggesting that unobserved factors do inflate the estimated impacts. Further, the result reveals significant male – female gap (both in terms of vertical and horizontal changes) in the impact of electrification on labour force participation and equivalised consumption expenditure. We discuss the policy implications.

期刊介绍: Resource and Energy Economics provides a forum for high level economic analysis of utilization and development of the earth natural resources. The subject matter encompasses questions of optimal production and consumption affecting energy, minerals, land, air and water, and includes analysis of firm and industry behavior, environmental issues and public policies. Implications for both developed and developing countries are of concern. The journal publishes high quality papers for an international audience. Innovative energy, resource and environmental analyses, including theoretical models and empirical studies are appropriate for publication in Resource and Energy Economics.
