Oil dependency, political institutions, and urban-rural disparities in access to electricity in Africa

Armand Totouom

Summary: This paper examines the impact of oil dependency on disparities in access to electricity between urban and rural areas in Africa, taking into account the quality of political institutions. The results show that oil rents (% of GDP) increase the urban-rural disparities in electricity access. However, the effect of oil dependency on these disparities is shaped by the quality of institutions. A higher institutional quality score reduces the adverse effects of oil rents on electricity access disparity, and the negative impact of oil dependency is reversed when institutional quality reaches a certain level. Robustness tests support these findings, highlighting the importance of strengthening institutional quality to overcome the resource curse in Africa.
