This paper empirically examines the relationship between oil consumption, nuclear energy consumption, oil price and economic growth in four emerging economies (Russia, China, South Korea, and India) over the period from 1965 to 2010. Applying a modified version of the granger causality test...

This paper attempts to examine the causal relationship between nuclear energy consumption and economic growth for four industrialised countries; the US, Canada, Japan, and France, between 1965 to 2010. In a multivariate framework that accounts for other key determinants such that of oil demand...

Turkey has stipulated that renewable energy sources (RES) will have at least 30% share in electricity generation by 2023. To reach this target, a renewable energy promotion law (Law No. 5346) was enacted in 2005 and later amended in 2011. Through Law No. 5346, Turkey has launched a feed-in...
