“…This article discusses energy efficiency by examining an integrated model associated with technology and urbanization in energy-related fields. The results show that paying attention to the environment does not affect productivity in general, while utilizing renewable resources reduces it [43]. The main countries studying biomass production are the United States, followed by China, India, Germany, and Italy.…”

In this study, energy and renewable energy issues were investigated. The goal of the study; Investigation of energy production in OECD countries is the identification of the factors affecting it. As per the cluster analysis conclusions; OECD countries are separated into three groups. Also; Classifying models were used to analyze the relationship between biomass and waste generation; energy use, carbon dioxide emissions, and primary energy consumption obtained in OECD countries. Regression analysis, correlation analysis, and decision tree analysis were applied. Carbon dioxide emissions have been the most influential variable on energy production from biomass and waste. The findings of the study propose to design energy policies towards sustainable goals. The study confirms the hypothesis that the economic cycle will help reduce inefficiencies in the energy sector, resulting in higher yields based on key factors identified from biomass. According to the literature, an investigation on various factors related to the field of biomass has been made. Also, this study examined and compared three important variables, which were determined differently from the literature, with classification analyzes that were not performed before. For this reason, it is a support for the literature and an original study.

“…In order to evaluate the effect of technological change in the green energy sector on efficiency indicator, a twofold procedure is employed: (i) the technical efficiency is estimated through data envelopment analysis (DEA) [85]; (ii) the tobit model [86] allows to identify the knowledge spillovers' impact on efficiency score. In particular, the DEA is a method commonly used in the energy field [87][88][89][90][91]. In particular, the technological productivity is computed with the Malmquist index, which measures the productivity changes along with time variations, where output variable is the ratio between sales and number of employees.…”

The Effect of Marshallian and Jacobian Knowledge Spillovers on Jobs in the Solar, Wind and Energy Efficiency Sector

The purpose of this paper is to establish if Marshallian and Jacobian knowledge spillovers affect job creation in the green energy sector. Whether these two effects exist is important for the number of jobs created in related fields and jobs pushed away in other sectors. In the analysis, the production efficiency, in terms of jobs and job spillovers, from inventions in solar, wind and energy efficiency, is explored through data envelopment analysis (DEA), based on the Malmquist productivity index, and tobit regression. A panel dataset of American and European firms over the period of 2002–2017 is used. The contribution to the literature is to show the role of the spillovers from the same technology sector (Marshallian externalities), and of the spillovers from more diversified activity (Jacobian externalities). Since previous empirical evidence concerning the innovation effects on the production efficiency is yet weak, the paper attempts to bridge this gap. The empirical findings suggest negative Marshallian externalities, while Jacobian externalities have no statistical impact on the job creation process. The findings are of strategic importance for governments who are developing industrial strategies for renewable energy.

“…However, government spending, industrial structure, energy prices, foreign investment, research investment, and production endowments harm urban energy efficiency. Fidanoski et al (2021) [14] utilized DEA to explore the efficiency scores of 30 OECD member samples in minimizing energy use and losses and environmental emissions from 2001 to 2018. The results presented that the average inefficiency margin of primary energy in each country was 16.1% and ranged from 10.8% to 13.5% for electricity.…”

According to the October 2021 Glasgow Climate Agreement reaffirming the cooling goals of the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Leaders Declaration on Forests and Land Use, this research applies the Super-D-DDF model to non-oriented variable returns to scale to evaluate the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and China (38 countries in total), collect important production and energy variables from 2016 to 2020, and measure the total efficiency of energy dynamics and its changes during COVID-19. The empirical results are as follows. 1) Comparing energy efficiency from 2016 to 2018 and 2019 to 2020 (during COVID-19), we find that most countries (22 countries) changed from high efficiency to low efficiency, showing a decrease in energy efficiency. 2) The emissions of carbon dioxide in China in 2020 are close to the sum of OECD carbon dioxide emissions, highlighting that the energy policy in China should be adjusted appropriately. 3) From 2016 to 2020, the forest area of various countries has a significant impact on overall energy efficiency performance. In line with the United Nations’ policy goals, countries should adjust forest protection policies to effectively reduce carbon emissions.
