Comparative Study on Rural Electrification Policies in Emerging Economies: Keys to successful policies (2010, background): “These measures should ensure that rural areas are governed by good rural markets and have access to credit (Barnes, 2007).”
The Economics of Renewable Energy Expansion in Rural Sub-Saharan Africa (2010, unknown): “Barnes (2007) and World Bank (2008a) cite several of these linkages, while noting that supporting evidence remains largely anecdotal.”
Evaluation of choices for sustainable rural electrification in developing countries: A multicriteria approach (2013, background): “In fact, rural electrification needs to involve rural community and societal dynamics instead of just implementing a technical matter of stringing lines (Barnes, 2007).”
Long-Term Impacts of Household Electrification in Rural India (2013, background): “The evidence suggests that, with the rare exception, rural households in developing countries use electricity first and foremost for lighting, followed by powering televisions and fans (Bernard 2010; Barnes 2007; IEG 2008).”
Impacts of rural electrification revisited – the African context (2016, unknown): “See Barnes (2007) for further examples from non-African countries in which electrification led to improve- ments in irrigation through the use of electric pumps.”
Household electrification and indoor air pollution (2017, unknown): “…et al., 2013).1 Given the stylized fact that lighting is one of the first uses of electricity in newly electrified areas (see e.g. Bernard, 2012; Barnes, 2007; Independent Evaluation Group, 2008), electrification is expected to decrease IAP levels by replacing traditional source of lighting,…”
