How renewable energy consumption and natural resource abundance impact environmental degradation? New findings and policy implications from quantile approach

Role of Renewable Energy Consumption and Technological Innovation to Achieve Carbon Neutrality in Spain: Fresh Insights From Wavelet Coherence and Spectral Causality Approaches

“…For instance, the study by on India using the FMOLS and DOLS discovered a negative CO 2 -REN interconnection. Similarly, Altinoz and Dogan (2021) explored the connection between REN and CO 2 emissions in 82 nations applying the ARDL approach using data from 1990 to 2014. Their outcome revealed a negative CO 2 -REN interconnection in the selected nations.…”

Socio-economic productive capacities and energy efficiency: global evidence by income level and resource dependence

“…The resource endowment theory indicates that the natural resource abundance of countries affects their environmental performance. Empirically, it means that resource abundance should be controlled in cross-country studies (Blanco and Grier 2012 ; Zallé 2019 ; Altinoz and Dogan 2021 ). On the other hand, it is well evidenced that resource abundance does not necessarily mean resource dependence (Havranek et al 2016 ; Hailu and Kipgen 2017 ; Shahbaz et al 2019 ).…”

“…In line with the recognition of these stylized facts, many local and global energy policies have been prioritized to conserve energy resources, improve energy security, and mitigate environmental degradation. These global efforts can be broken down into two essential groups: A renewable energy transition from conventional fossil energy sources to low-carbon clean alternatives (solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, geothermal, and marine energies) (Ackah and Kizys 2015 ; Murshed 2020 ; Altinoz and Dogan 2021 ; Baloch et al 2021 ; Nathaniel et al 2021 ) and an overall improvement of energy efficiency (Sutherland 1994 ; Dunlop 2019 ; Goh and Ang 2020 ; Irfan 2021 ).…”

Special issue of International Conference on Economics, Energy and Environment (ICEEE’2020)

“…The paper by Altinoz and Dogan (2021) aims to investigate the impact of renewable energy consumption and the abundance of natural resources on carbon emissions for a panel of countries by using quantile regressions. Empirical results show that renewable energy consumption reduces emissions and its effect increases at higher quantiles.…”
