The authors use household-level data and hourly industry data from Mexico to show how more efficient pricing mechanisms, combined with well-designed environmental regulations, can significantly improve economic, social and environmental outcomes.

The authors propose a new way to estimate "reasonably reliable" power and find that 3.5 billion people live without it.

Analysis of a survey conducted by the authors found that prosocial behavior plays an important role in an individual’s ability to engage in health-promoting behaviors, such as physical activity, despite adverse conditions. Journal of Behavioral Medicine, Aug. 13, 2020.

Mexico’s plan to implement a large-scale residential distributed photovoltaic generation program would bring more economic and environmental gains than losses, the authors conclude in this study of Mexico’s electricity sector. IAEE Energy Forum: http://bit.ly/2GoTxK5

The authors conducted mobile phone surveys on energy supply, demand and quality in 12 sub-Saharan African countries, finding that current grid and off-grid electricity supply is inadequate to meet consumers' demands.

This paper assesses the current operational conditions of the Mexican residential electricity sector and examines the potential effects that the massive adoption of distributed photovoltaic power generation (DPV) systems would have on household expenditure and welfare, subsidy reduction, pollution and water resource usage.

The authors examine ways in which disruptive technologies could potentially help improve power sector development in African countries.
