A nexus between renewable energy, FDI, oil prices, oil rent and CO₂ emission: panel data evidence from G7 economies

Abstract

Volatile energy prices, supply chain vulnerability and ecological implications of depleting fossil fuels have obligated the nations to swap carbon energy resources with sustainable and consumption energy choices. The study aims to investigate the sustaining connection of renewable energy consumption with trade openness, oil rent (OR), oil prices (OP) and carbon dioxide emissions of the G7 nations over the period 1971-2019. Using FMOLS and DOLS approach to panel data for analysing the long-run elasticity, and SUR for estimating the short-run elasticities. The analysis outcomes suggested that in the long run, a rise in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) incursion and OP and OR are found to be major drivers of renewable energy consumption. The long-term elasticity was estimated from a panel co-integrated FMOLS and DOLS model are mostly alike and present an encouraging association among different variables. Surprisingly, the average number of years to return to equilibria turned out to be 16 years, which is precisely in line with the voluntary commitment by G7 for overall net-zero electricity emission by 2035. The findings reported in the study suggest the oil-producing countries should be compensated to diversify energy production. Higher OR is desired to further strengthen the renewable energy generation and consumption as implied by the findings reported. FDI may also further be welcomed in greener know-hows for sustainable green energy choices.

Evolution simulation of spatial spillover effect of carbon emission efficiency based on improved PSO-PFCM clustering algorithm

“…With the constant change of the weighting coefficient, the convergence speed of improved PSO-PFCM iterative calculation is continuously improved, and the global search capability is greatly increased. In order to ensure that the inertial weight of carbon emission data outflow in each iteration calculation can be balanced and adjusted [8]. Introduce the test function…”

A Wavelet Analysis of the Dynamic Connectedness among Oil Prices, Green Bonds, and CO2 Emissions

“…For example, (Ali et al 2022 The second trend (Figure 3b) analyzes the interlinkages between oil prices and CO 2 emissions. For example, (Ali et al 2022;Alkathery and Chaudhuri 2021;Apergis and Payne 2015;Royal et al 2022;Sadorsky 2009;Zaghdoudi 2017) analyze the co-movements among oil prices, CO 2 emissions, and renewable energy. The findings suggest that renewable energy improves environmental quality in both the short and long run; an increase in oil prices causes a decrease in CO 2 emissions and has an important effect on economic growth.…”

Oil and natural gas rents and CO2 emissions nexus in MENA: spatial analysis

“…Moreover, decreasing OR lowered CO 2 emissions in four countries. Royal, Singh & Chander (2022) investigated G7 countries from 1971–2019 employing Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and found that oil prices and rents increased REC in the panel. However, FDI could not encourage REC.…”
