Economic, regulatory, and financial determinants of renewable energy transitions: Evidence from green bonds and multi-income group analysis

Economic, regulatory, and financial determinants of renewable energy transitions: Evidence from green bonds and multi-income group analysis

Yazar(lar): Burcu Bahçeci Başkurt

Özet:
This study examines the macroeconomic and institutional drivers of renewable energy adoption across 44 countries during 2014-2019, with particular emphasis on green finance mechanisms. Using panel data analysis with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors, we investigate how economic growth, FDI, green bond issuance, public investment, environmental regulations, and political globalization influence renewable energy usage across different income groups. Results reveal a U-shaped Economic Growth-Renewable Energy relationship, significant positive effects of green bonds (particularly in emerging economies), and evidence supporting the Pollution Haven Hypothesis in lower-middle income countries.
