Urbanisation and CO2 Emissions in Africa: do Governance Matter?

Abstrakty

Cet article détermine comment la bonne gouvernance complète ou contrecarre l'urbanisation dans la lutte contre la dégradation de l'environnement notamment la réduction des émissions de CO2 pour 45 pays d'Afrique au cours de la période 2000-2014. La gouvernance est mesurée à travers les six dimensions des indicateurs de gouvernance de Kaufman. L'urbanisation est évaluée par le taux d'urbanisation se rapportant à la population en milieu urbain par rapport à la population totale. Les preuves empiriques sont basées sur la méthode des moments généralisés (MMG) en deux étapes qui élimine le biais de simultanéité et prend en compte les variations entre les pays. Les résultats montrent dans l'ensemble que la bonne gouvernance a un effet significatif sur la réduction des émissions de CO2 . Il est un moyen permettant d'atténuer l'effet potentiel de l'urbanisation sur la dégradation de l'environnement. Les résultats recommandent la prise en compte de la gouvernance dans les politiques d'urbanisation pour un environnement propre.(abstrakt oryginalny)

This paper determines how good governance complements or counteracts urbanisation in the fight of environmental degradation, including the reduction of CO2 emissions, for 45 African countries over the period 2000-2014. Governance is measured through the six dimensions of the Kaufman governance indicators. Urbanisation is assessed by the urbanisation rate, which refers to the urban population as a proportion of the total population. The empirical evidence is based on the two-stage generalized method of moments (GMM), which eliminates simultaneity bias and considers cross-country variations. Overall, the results show that good governance has a significant effect on reducing CO2 emissions. It is a means to mitigate the potential effect of urbanisation on environmental degradation. The results recommend that governance must be consider in urbanisation policies to achieve a clean environment.(original abstract)
