Abstract

This study uses pattern-matching to analyze the tariff recourse policies employed by East African Community (EAC) countries to cushion the distortionary effects of high tariffs. We describe the various tariff recourse policies adopted across the EAC domestic markets and assess their level of regional harmonization given the different market structures each member state operates. We found a sharp disparity in the tariff recourse policies adopted across the EAC. We recommend that EAC countries prioritize reforms that create linear market liberalization and competition growth as part of an overall strategy for accelerating electricity market integration.
