A machine-learning approach to predicting Africa's electricity mix based on planned power plants and their chances of success

Galina Alova et al.

Summary: By using a machine-learning model, the study accurately predicted the success and failure of power-generation projects in Africa, identifying capacity, fuel, ownership, and connection type as key factors for successful commissioning. Contrary to rapid transition scenarios, the share of non-hydro renewables in electricity generation in Africa is expected to remain below 10% in 2030.

Transport infrastructure and CO2 emissions in the OECD over the long run

Sefa Awaworyi Churchill et al.

Summary: This study addresses a gap in the transportation-environment literature by examining the effect of transport infrastructure on CO2 emissions while controlling for other factors. The findings suggest that there is a time-varying relationship between transport infrastructure and CO2 emissions, with economic growth and population mediating this relationship.

Determinants of Trade Openness in Sub-Saharan Africa: Do Institutions Matter?

Ibrahim Ngouhouo et al.

Summary: This paper analyzes the determinants of trade openness in Sub-Saharan Africa countries and finds that domestic institutions, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, access to sea, foreign direct investment, trade share, inflation, population growth, and GDP per capital all significantly affect trade openness. The study suggests that improving the quality of domestic institutions is crucial for formulating international trade policies in SSA countries.

How Does the Shadow Economy Affect Environmental Quality in Sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence from Heterogeneous Panel Estimations

Hilaire Nkengfack et al.

Summary: The study found a negative relationship between the size of the shadow economy and CO(2) emissions, particularly significant in lower-middle-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. The results suggest that in SSA, there is no evidence to support that the shadow economy increases environmental degradation.
