摘要

获得电力被吹捧为减少贫困和改善人民生计的途径之一。然而,消费的增加也可能导致二氧化碳排放的增加。因此,虽然许多研究评估了电力消耗较低且供应不足以满足需求的发展中国家电力消耗的决定因素,但金融发展对电力消耗的影响好坏参半。因此,本研究对加纳的电力消费进行建模,特别关注金融发展的影响。结果表明,电价降低了用电量,而收入和人口密度增加了用电量。当金融发展以国内对私营部门的信贷、银行对私营部门的国内信贷和广义货币供应为代表时,对电力消费的影响是负面的。然而,当金融发展以外国直接投资为代表时,效果是积极的。根据这四个指标构建的金融指数显示,金融发展降低了加纳的用电量。除其他事项外,政策影响包括需要根据具体的金融发展指标制定适当的政策。

Modelling electricity consumption in Ghana: the role of financial development indicators
Access to electricity is touted as one of the ways of reducing poverty and improving the livelihoods of people. However, an increased consumption may also contribute to higher carbon dioxide emissions. While many studies have therefore assessed the determinants of electricity consumption for developing countries that have a lower electricity consumption and inadequate supply to meet demand, the effect of financial development on electricity consumption has been mixed. Consequently, this study models electricity consumption in Ghana with special attention on the effect of financial development. The results show that price reduces electricity consumption while income and population density increase consumption of electricity. When financial development is represented by domestic credit to private sector, domestic credit to private sector by banks and broad money supply, the effect is negative on electricity consumption. However, the effect is positive when financial development is represented by foreign direct investment. A financial index constructed from the four indicators shows financial development reduces electricity consumption in Ghana. Among other things the policy implication includes the need to formulate appropriate policy based on a specific indicator for financial development.
