The Distributional Incidence of Residential Water and Electricity Subsidies |
| Description |
|
This World Bank paper examines the extent to which the poor benefit from consumption and connection subsidies for water and electricity services. The analysis of a wide range of subsidy models from around the developing world shows that the most common form of utility subsidy – quantity-based subsidies delivered through the tariff structure– are highly regressive. |
