Author

Listed:
  • Frederiksen, P.C.

Abstract

This article empirically tests for the positive effects of household electrification on the Philippine provincial income levels. Results indicate that the economic overhead capital type of investment in intermediate regions and social overhead capital type of investments in lagging regions can spearhead decisionmakers in allocating scarce resources.
