- Accelerating Poverty Reduction in Africa (2019, background): “Le faible rendement des terres, de la main-d’œuvre et des compétences des pauvres découle en partie de leur incapacité d’accéder aux technologies de l’information et de la communication, à l’énergie et aux services de transport (Christiaensen, Demery et Paternostro, 2003 ; Grimm et al., 2017 ; James”
- Does Household Electrification Supercharge Economic Development? (2019, unknown): “Separate randomized controlled trials have measured the impacts of home solar access on child study times, finding mixed results: home solar appears to increase study times, but decrease test scores in Uganda (Furukawa 2014); not increase study times in Kenya (Rom, Günther, and Harrison 2017); and i”
- Impacts of rural electrification revisited – the African context (2016, unknown): “4 Candles and wick lamps emit around 10-12 lumens, two diode hand-crafted torches around 10 lumens, while compact florescent lamps (energy savers) emit 240-1,000 lumens (O’Sullivan et al., 2006; Grimm et al. 2014)”
- Rural electrification through mini-grids: Challenges ahead (2019, background): “While off grid home solar (Solar Home Systems and Pico PV systems) yields considerable benefits for its users, its potential to provide sufficient energy for productive uses is limited (see for example Aklin et al. 2017; Grimm et al. 2017).”
- Electricity Access in Sub-Saharan Africa: Uptake, Reliability, and Complementary Factors for Economic Impact (2019, result): “This finding is consistent with the experimental results from Grimm et al. (2016) on off-grid lighting solutions in the same country, although those data focus on grid connection rates.”
