This paper applies a SVAR model and a DSGE model to investigate the dynamic effects of coal shocks. The results show that coal shocks mainly affect output by influencing thermal power generation. As China controls electricity prices and relies mainly on thermal power generation, increasing costs...

This paper aims to investigate the heterogeneous patterns of clean energy consumption at business cycle frequencies. Specifically, this paper provides a rigorous empirical analysis of this relationship in a comprehensive cross-country panel by decomposing the emissions and GDP series into their...

This work is aimed to explore the indirect impact of the EU's COVID-19 economic recession on global renewable energy consumption from the perspective of spillover effect. To this end, a global vector autoregressive (GVAR)-energy model was constructed based on the data of 33 major economies....

Lockdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have reduced overall energy demand but electricity generation from renewable sources has been resilient. While this partly reflects the trend increase in renewables, the empirical analysis presented in this paper highlights that recessions result in...
