This study used regional-level data from Ghana to analyze the relationship between household electricity access and infant mortality rates from 1993 to 2014.
The primary analysis used an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model with region and time fixed effects, controlling for median birth interval, children living with both parents, women's education, and wealth quintiles. Robustness checks using different education specifications and alternative benchmarks supported this finding. The implications suggest that the relationship between electricity access and infant health may depend on a region's baseline development context.
