| description |
India's huge expansion in rural
electrification in the 1980s and 1990s offers lessons for
other countries today. The paper examines the long-term
effects of household electrification on consumption, labor
supply, and schooling in rural India over 1982-99. It finds
that household electrification brought significant gains to
consumption and earnings, the latter through changes in
market labor supply. It finds positive effects on schooling
for girls but not for boys. External effects are also
evident, whereby households without electricity benefit from
village electrification. Wage rates were unaffected.
Methodologically, the results suggest sizeable upward biases
in past estimates of the gains from electrification
associated with how past analyses dealt with geographic effects. |
