Abstract

This article aims to show the effect of road infrastructure on the use of butane gas by households in Burkina Faso, based on data from a survey on household living conditions conducted in 2021 by the INSD. To achieve this objective, the ordered logit model and the PSM method are used. The results show that access to road infrastructure increases the likelihood of households using butane gas as their primary or combined fuel source. In addition, income, price, household size, level of education, place of residence, access to electricity and the internet, and ownership of a stove have a significant impact on the likelihood of using butane gas. The results show that households that combine butane gas with other fuels and those that use it exclusively are willing to pay 495.83 CFA francs and 498.26 CFA francs per kilogram of butane gas, respectively. In terms of implications, the Burkinabe government should prioritize the targeted development of secondary road infrastructure and establish a system of targeted subsidies for low-income and rural households.
