  • a means to an Industrialisation end demand side management in nigeria
    Energy Policy, 2018
    Co-Authors: Eka Ikpe, Jacopo Torriti
    Abstract:

    Electricity is essential for economic development and Industrialisation processes. Balancing demand and supply is a recurrent problem in the Nigerian electricity market. The aim of this work is to assess the technical and economic potential of Demand Side Management (DSM) in Nigeria given different future levels of Industrialisation. The paper places Industrialisation at the centrefold of the appraisal of DSM potential in Nigeria. It does so by designing Industrialisation scenarios and consequently deriving different DSM penetration levels using a cost-optimisation model. Findings show that under the high Industrialisation scenario by the year 2050 DSM could bring about 7 billion USD in cumulative savings thanks to deferred investment in new generation and full deployment of standby assets along with interruptible programmes for larger industrial users. The paper concludes by providing policy recommendations regarding financial mechanisms to increase DSM deployment in Nigeria. The focus on DSM serves to shift the policy debate on electricity in Nigeria from a static state versus market narrative on supply to an engagement with the agency and influence on industrial end-users.

  • Impact of Industrialisation on CO2 emissions in Nigeria
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015
    Co-Authors: Boqiang Lin, Oluwasola E. Omoju, Jennifer U. Okonkwo
    Abstract:

    Abstract Developing countries, including Nigeria, aim to achieve Industrialisation and sustainable development. However, there are few empirical studies that examined the impact of Industrialisation-led economic transformation on carbon emissions in developing countries. This is the focus of this study. The paper investigates the impact of industrial value-added on CO2 emissions in Nigeria using the Kaya Identity framework and Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), Johansen׳s cointegration technique and vector error correction model (VECM). The data spans from 1980 to 2011. The result of the ADF test indicates that continual long term policies that exert permanent shocks on the variables are required to achieve economic development, Industrialisation and CO2 reduction. The result of the analysis shows that industrial value-added has an inverse and significant relationship with CO2 emissions, which suggests that there is no evidence that Industrialisation increases carbon emissions in Nigeria. GDP per capita and population has positive and significant impacts on CO2 emission. Energy intensity and carbon intensity has positive but very weak significant impact (at 10% level) on CO2 emission. The paper recommends that policy makers in Nigeria should pursue pragmatic Industrialisation policies coupled with modest decarbonisation and energy-efficiency measures in order to ensure long term industrial, economic and sustainable development.

  • dynamic linkage among Industrialisation urbanisation and co2 emissions in apec realms evidence based on dsur estimation
    Structural Change and Economic Dynamics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Zhaohua Wang, Yasir Rasool, Bin Zhang, Zahoor Ahmed, Bo Wang
    Abstract:

    Abstract This empirical study is a new addition to the existing body of knowledge, which estimates the influence of Industrialisation and urbanisation on carbon dioxide emissions in the APEC countries with a new panel estimation technique, the Dynamic Unrelated Seemingly Regression (DSUR). The data covering the years 1990 to 2014 have been used for analysis. Empirical findings of the current study reveal that Industrialisation degrades the environment through releasing carbon dioxide to the air. Beside this, it is also observed that the energy intensity, urbanisation, and economic growth enhance the level of environmental pollution via CO2 emissions. Moreover, unidirectional causality is found between Industrialisation and CO2 emission. For dynamic analysis, a time series analysis is also performed. Finally, policy recommendations regarding R & D are suggested for the industrial and energy sectors.

  • financial development Industrialisation urbanisation and the role of institutions a comparative analysis between india and china
    Research Papers in Economics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Muhammad Shahbaz, Mita Bhattacharya, Mantu Kumar
    Abstract:

    This paper explores the impact of Industrialisation and urbanisation on financial development by incorporating the role of institutional quality for India and China over the period of 1970-2013. We apply the bounds testing approach, which accommodates structural breaks, in order to test the presence of cointegration between the variables. The results show the existence of long-run dynamics between the series. Furthermore, we establish that Industrialisation and urbanisation lead to financial development and that the lack of institutional quality and government size reduces financial development. Trade openness enhances Indian financial development but hinders Chinese financial development. The causality analysis depicts the bidirectional causality between urbanisation (Industrialisation) and financial development for India. In the case of China, the urbanisation Granger causes financial development, and the feedback effect exists between Industrialisation and financial development. Institutional quality is found to be the core factor in enhancing financial development in both countries with a feedback effect.

  • does financial development increase energy consumption the role of industrialization and urbanization in tunisia
    Energy Policy, 2012
    Co-Authors: Muhammad Shahbaz, Hooi Hooi Lean
    Abstract:

    This paper assesses the relationship among energy consumption, financial development, economic growth, industrialization and urbanization in Tunisia from 1971 to 2008. The autoregressive distributed lag bounds testing approach to cointegration and Granger causality tests is employed for the analysis. The result confirms the existence of long-run relationship among energy consumption, economic growth, financial development, industrialization and urbanization in Tunisia. Long-run bidirectional causalities are found between financial development and energy consumption, financial development and industrialization, and industrialization and energy consumption. Hence, sound and developed financial system that can attract investors, boost the stock market and improve the efficiency of economic activities should be encouraged in the country. Nevertheless, promoting industrialization and urbanization can never be left out from the process of development. We add light to policy makers with the role of financial development, industrialization and urbanization in the process of economic development.
