- W2170520189 abstract "The main goal of this study is to demonstrate the e xistence of a significant empirical link between infrastructure and financial sectors reforms the ef fects of which are reflected in infrastructure sectors performance. This paper reports on the find ings of an exploration of this issue for the case o f the power sector in developing countries. We estima te the impact of the four main components of the power sector reform in these countries, namely, the creation of an independent regulatory agency, the unbundling of generation, transmission, and distribution, the introduction of competition and the implementation of privatization programs in the generation and distribution segments, on some of this sector's performance outc omes, and attempt to assess the contribution of the domestic financial systems' reforms to these ou tcomes. In a dataset on 42 developing countries covering the 1990-2005 period, we find that private participation in generation and distribution has significantly improved power supply as reflected in higher electricity generation per capita and technical and labor efficiency in the distribution segment. The unbundling of generation, transmission, and distribution has contributed to i mproving productive efficiency through a better use of the labor factor in the distribution segment . We find that the creation of a separate regulator y agency has boosted the generation segment in terms of both capacity and sales and has generated better incentives for a more efficient use of labor input in the distribution segment. We also find th at regulatory experience has significantly contributed to improving access to electricity. The results suggest that while the power sector, in particular, its generation segment, has significantly benefite d from the introduction of independent regulation, th e beneficial effects of (good) regulatory practices have been exacerbated by the modernization of the f inancial systems. More specifically, improved financial systems have eased access to capital for operators allowing them to upgrade their networks and decrease power losses in distribution. The over all results obtained in this paper strongly recommend that along with reforming the power sector, policy makers in developing countries should implement the financial reforms that would d eepen their domestic financial systems thus allowing them to recover the full benefits of these systems' positive externalities on the performance of the sector." @default.
