Abstract

L'objectif de ce papier est d'analyser l'effet de l'accès à l'électricité sur le revenu des ménages au Togo. Pour atteindre cet objectif, la méthode de régression à commutation endogène a été utilisée pour corriger le biais d'endogénéité. Pour l'analyse empirique, les données de l'enquête sur la consommation d'énergies dans les sous-secteurs domestique et artisanal, de l'agriculture et des transports au Togo (ECE-DAAT) collectées par l'Institut National de la Statistique et des Etudes Economiques et Démographiques (INSEED) en 2021, ont été utilisées. Les résultats ont révélé que le revenu des ménages connectés à l'électricité serait inférieur d'environ 16% en l'absence d'électricité. Ce résultat suggère la nécessité de renforcer les programmes d'électrification surtout en milieu rural accompagné d'un mécanisme d'incitation des ménages à une utilisation productive de l'électricité.
