Abstract

This study examines the relationship between private capital flows and energy use in Africa, considering the moderating role of domestic financial markets during the period, 1990–2019. To do this, we use the modified fixed effect model based on the feasible Generalised Least Squares estimator to fit a multiple regression that corrects for serial correlation using the Durbin-Watson serial correction approach. Our empirical results revealed that domestic financial markets play a significant role in establishing the connection between private capital flow and energy use. Specifically, the study showed that private capital inflows conditioned on a favourable financial market environment enhance energy use in Africa. In other words, the presence of these financial market indicators provides a conduit for private capital flows to improve energy use in Africa. Therefore, policy makers in Africa must provide the means to strengthen and further develop the domestic financial markets to attract the necessary private capital capable of enhancing energy use.

The pDW proposed by Bhargava et al. (1982) cited by Born and Breitung (2016) is the ratio of the sum of squared difference and the sum of squared residuals. The test is based on the linear combination of the DW statistic ratios.

Note that for a fixed effect model, Z_it = 1 such that Z_it = [1,t] is the group-specific effect with time trends.

Based on data availability, participating countries included Algeria, Botswana, Cote D’Ivoire, Egypt, Eswatini, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia.
