The paper looked at the effect of household outlay on information and communication technology (ICT) on market participation and consumption choices for transportation fuel, as well as the role that household location plays in determining how ICT affects both educated and uneducated households’ market participation and consumption choices. The double-hurdle model was applied to five rounds of secondary Ghana Living Standard Surveys (GLSS).

Increasingly, a significant part of the literature on corruption establishes a negative relationship between corruption and economic variables. However, empirical research showing the influence of corruption on renewable energy consumption is useful because of the global interest in achieving a low-carbon and clean environment.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, the place of cooking and choice of fuel for cooking have detrimental effects on health due to excessive exposure to smoke. This study explores household-level exposure to the risk of cooking smoke and its associated determinants.

Energy poverty is a relevant issue in Africa, driven largely by income constraints. Eliminating or reducing this phenomenon could prove very vital in achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 7 as well as sustainable development and inclusive growth. Remittances remain an important means of income support in developing and emerging economies.
