Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan -and of all English-language academic papers published using these datasets. We argue that Central Asia is a fascinating region for the study of comparative economics given its dual experience of transition and development. However, the region is also understudied, in part due to lack of data, and especially due to a lack of panel data. We identify knowledge gaps caused from this lack of longitudinal surveys and suggest worthwhile areas for future research. Finally, we also present the new and novel individual-level panel dataset called "Life in Kyrgyzstan". Terms of use: Documents inJEL codes: O12, I32, J22

In 2008, South Africa experienced a severe electricity crisis. Domestic and industrial electricity users had to suffer from black outs all over the country. It is argued that partially the reason was the lack of research on energy, locally. However, Eskom argues that the lack of capacity can only be solved by building new power plants.The objective of this study is to fill part of the gap of the energy research in the country. By using the Engle Granger methodology for co-integration and Error Correction Models, the variables that explain the aggregate electricity use in South Africa during the period 1980-2005 are examined. Furthermore, we make conditional forecasts of electricity consumption based on the current energy policiesThe findings indicate that there is a long run relationship between electricity consumption and price as well as economic growth/income. The last few years in South Africa, price elasticity was rarely taken into account because of the low and decreasing prices in the past. The short-run dynamics of the system are affected by population growth, too After the energy crisis, Eskom, the national electricity supplier, is in search for substantial funding in order to build new power plants that will help with the envisaged lack of capacity that the company experienced. By using two scenarios for the future of growth, this study shows that the electricity demand will drop substantially due to the price policies agreed -until now-by Eskom and the National Energy Regulator South Africa (NERSA) that will affect the demand for some years.

“…A preferable approach to the analysis of material well-being is to examine the distribution of household income or expenditures. Anderson and Pomfret (2002) estimate a human capital model in which the per capita expenditure of households is affected by the level of human capital, the number of household members, the location of the household, and demographic characteristics of the household. The dependent variable is household expenditures per capita, based on a headcount of household members and the reported expenditures on goods (excluding vehicles), food, health, education and other services, housing, utilities, communication, and transportation…”

“…In Anderson and Pomfret (2002) we test the sensitivity of our results to this assumption by estimating the model with an alternative dependent variable in which children, women and the elderly are assigned lower expenditure weights than prime-working-age adult men. This affects the numerical results, but not the qualitative conclusions.…”
