Considering the utmost importance of adopting clean cooking fuels, especially from the viewpoint of partially realizing the targets of the 7th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG‐7), this study appraises how income inequality and other macroeconomic factors impact urban–rural disparities in clean cooking fuel accessibility across 40 developing countries from Sub‐Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. For analytical purposes, yearly data spanning from 2002 to 2018 is utilized for conducting advanced panel data examinations using methods that are robust against issues of cross‐sectional dependency, slope heterogeneity, and endogeneity. As a whole, the empirical findings reveal that deteriorating income inequality situations widen the gap between urban and rural clean cooking fuel access rates while good institutional quality accounts for lower disparities in urban–rural clean cooking fuel accessibility. Besides, region‐specific findings assure that this disparity is further enhanced by foreign remittances flowing into the selected Sub‐Saharan African nations while institutional quality improvement reduces disparity in the Latin America and the Caribbean countries of concern. Furthermore, the factors influencing the urban–rural disparities in clean cooking fuel accessibility are found to vary across different regional locations and national income‐based classifications of the sampled countries. Accordingly, considering the above findings, some region‐ and income‐group‐specific policy suggestions are put forward for enabling convergence between urban and rural clean fuel access rates across Sub‐Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Millions of people in developing countries lack access to modern energies and for long, these countries have relied on energy subsidies to scale up their access rate. However, there is no evidence that those energy subsidies contribute to energy poverty reduction. Similarly, while good governance and strong institutions are touted as critical for implementing energy policy and improving access rate, empirical evidence of their impact remains very scanty. This study assesses the impact of energy subsidies and institutional quality on access to electricity in selected developing countries. Result from the Praise-Winston regression revealed that energy subsidies as a policy tool for achieving universal electrification do not hold in the selected developing countries. We also found that energy subsidies accompanied by a strong governance mechanism can help developing countries scale up their electricity access rate. We recommend practical ways to help developing countries achieve universal access to modern energy solution.
