Foreign Direct Investment and Inclusive Green Growth in Africa : Energy Efficiency Contingencies and Thresholds
Ofori, Isaac Kwesi; Gbolonyo, Emmanuel; Ojong, Nathanael - 2022
FDI to foster inclusive green growth (IGG) in Africa. Also, little has been done to show the IGG gains from improving EE … and FDI in fostering IGG in Africa by using macrodata for 23 countries from 2000 to 2020. According to our findings, which … are based on dynamic GMM estimator, FDI hampers IGG in Africa, while EE fosters IGG. Notably, in the presence of EE, the …

Preference heterogeneity for renewable energy technology
Yoo, James; Ready, Richard C. - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 101-114
This study explores heterogeneity in individual willingness to pay (WTP) for a public good using several different variants of the multinomial logit (MNL) model for stated choice data. These include a simple MNL model with interaction terms between respondent characteristics and attribute...

The causal relationship between renewable electricity generation and GDP growth: A study of energy sources
Ohler, Adrienne; Fetters, Ian - In: Energy Economics 43 (2014) C, pp. 125-139
This paper examines the causal relationship between economic growth and electricity generation from renewable sources (biomass, geothermal, hydroelectric, solar, waste, and wind) across 20 OECD countries over 1990 to 2008. The results from a commonly used panel error correction model find (a) a...

Renewable energy, output, CO2 emissions, and fossil fuel prices in Central America: Evidence from a nonlinear panel smooth transition vector error correction model
Apergis, Nicholas; Payne, James E. - In: Energy Economics 42 (2014) C, pp. 226-232
This study examines the determinants of renewable energy consumption per capita for a panel of seven Central American countries over the period 1980 to 2010. Specifically, we find that a long-run cointegrated relationship exists between renewable energy consumption per capita, real GDP per...

Unilateral climate policy design: Efficiency and equity implications of alternative instruments to reduce carbon leakage
Böhringer, Christoph; Carbone, Jared C.; Rutherford, … - In: Energy Economics 34 (2012) S2, pp. 208-208
Global cost-effectiveness of unilateral emission abatement can be seriously hampered by carbon leakage. We assess three widely discussed proposals for leakage reduction: carbon-motivated border tax adjustments, industry exemptions from carbon regulation, and output-based allocation of emission...
