摘要

本研究试图建立人类发展与农村家庭能源贫困之间的联系,并评估Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana、免费电力和失业津贴等政府计划对人类发展的影响。为了进行分析,主要数据是从印度拉贾斯坦邦谢克哈瓦蒂地区两个主要地区的农村地区收集的。为了实现这些目标,已经构建了两种能源贫困衡量标准——能源匮乏和多维能源贫困指数——以及一种人类发展衡量标准——人类发展指数。这项针对1000户家庭的初步调查于2020年1月至3月进行。为了建立经验关系,本研究采用了托比特回归分析。研究结果证实了能源贫困的存在对该地区人类发展水平产生不利影响的假设。它还证实了这种关系的另一面,即人类发展的增加通过各种联系减少了能源贫困。研究结果表明,直接促进人均收入的政府计划也通过增加收入对人类发展产生了积极影响。因此,为了提高人类发展水平和减少能源贫困,该研究建议制定提高家庭整体收入水平的政策。JEL分类代码:I32、O13、O15、Q40

Energy Poverty and Human Development: Empirical Evidence from Rural Rajasthan, India
This study attempts to establish the linkage between human development and energy poverty for rural households and evaluate the impact of government schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, free electricity and unemployment allowance on human development. For the analysis purpose, primary data have been collected from rural areas of two main districts of the Shekhawati region of the state of Rajasthan in India. To pursue the objectives, two measures of energy poverty – energy deprivation and the multidimensional energy poverty index – and one measure of human development – the human development index – have been constructed. The primary survey of 1,000 households is conducted from January to March 2020. For establishing the empirical relationship, the study has used Tobit regression analysis. The findings confirm the hypothesis that the existence of energy poverty adversely affects the level of human development in the region. It also confirms the other side of the relationship, which states that increasing human development reduces energy poverty through various linkages. The study results reveal that the government scheme which directly contributes to the per capita income is also impacting positively human development through an increase in income. Hence, to improve the level of human development and to decline energy poverty, the study recommends policies to improve the overall level of income of households.

期刊介绍: Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
