A Macro–Micro Analysis of the Effects of Electricity Reform in Senegal on Poverty and Distribution
使用CGE宏观-微观模型分析塞内加尔电力部门价格改革的分配效应，发现直接价格效应弱于一般均衡效应，且补偿政策可缓解部分不利影响。
Abstract This paper uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) macro–micro model to explore the distributional effects of price reform in the electricity sector of Senegal. In the first part of the paper we analyse the distribution of electricity in Senegal by income quintiles, between 1995 and 2001. The analysis demonstrates that poor and rural households are not the main beneficiaries of the expanded network. The results of the CGE model show that direct price effects are weaker than general equilibrium effects on poverty and inequality. Moreover, compensatory policies tested can help attenuate some adverse effects.
