“…Therefore, government policy strategies that exploit the various impacts of real GDP on bioenergy technologies would promote bioenergy technologies from both the demand and the supply sides. In particular, to consider RE technologies as drivers of sustainable economic growth as well as environmental solutions, governmental policies should concentrate on domestic innovation and the diffusion of RE technologies to enhance foreign trade competitiveness [91].…”

“…Hence, further research should control for the effects of an industry-specific export promotion program in the relationship between the eco-efficiency of government policy and exports of bioenergy technologies. Further, while additional factors influence the RE technology sector, such as environmental regulations [8,25], other RE technology policies [27,91], and economic and social factors [66,93,94], this study does not consider such factors. Therefore, further research should control for these omitted variables.…”

Eco-Efficiency of Government Policy and Exports in the Bioenergy Technology Market

This study investigates how the eco-efficiency of government policy-continuously implementing innovation-friendly policy based on both environmental and economic considerations-affects the export performance of bioenergy technologies, using panel data from 16 countries during 1995-2012. Various heterogeneous panel framework tests are conducted. Our panel unit root and co-integration tests, which allow for cross-sectional dependence in the panel, show that the time series data on the eco-efficiency of public support, exports, and gross domestic product (GDP) are integrated and co-integrated. We set up a panel vector error correction model (VECM) to empirically test the casual relationship among the variables examined. The long-term parameters of the variables were calculated using dynamic ordinary lease squares (DOLS). Panel difference generalized method of moments (GMM) estimations were conducted to test the short-term relationship among the variables. The results of this study therefore show that the eco-efficiency of government policy positively influences export performance in the long run, but not in the short run. The presented findings also indicate that efficiently implemented government policy plays a crucial role in achieving environmentally sound and sustainable development, showing path dependence among the eco-efficiency of government policy, exports, and GDP. We finally suggest policy implications based on the results.

“…On the one hand, there is oversupply in this market, which leads to the imbalance of supply and demand. On the other hand, the EU's development policies of renewable energy encourage it to be the main import trader and to compose main demand market [41]. Unlike the fossil fuel energy market, the low supply risk stops the PV market from having a fixed export source.…”

Abstract:The expansion of the international PV trade encourages governments to focus on their trade roles in this market, which has increasing impact on their future development of sustainable energy. Thus, an exploration of top traders and their influence on global PV trade pattern is essential as governments seek to develop strategies to improve their global PV market's discourse power. This study introduces the complex network theory to examine top traders whose default would lead to the collapse of trade pattern and their impactful ways. Moreover, the potential structural reason for top traders' influence on trade is explored via link prediction. We find that a group of European countries account for 80% of global importation and are the most influential traders and bridges; a group of Asian countries are among the top exporters with half of the global share; and European countries' high influence is due to their large number of trade partners instead of their trade volume. Above all, a high number of trade partners is more important than trade volume for countries seeking to be top traders. Finally, we discuss these results given the recent promising development of international PV trade.

“…Although there is a growing literature on climate policy in federal systems (Bakvis & Brown, 2010a;Engel, 2009;Harrison, 2013;Harrison & Sundstrom, 2007;Rabe, 2004;Rabe, 2011), the multilevel political dynamics influencing climate policy-and subsequently emissions outcomes and investments in low-carbon technology-within federalist political systems in remains relatively underexplored. 2 Energy technology innovation is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of the policy framework needed to meet international climate commitments and features prominently in both the scholarly and policy debates regarding the transition to a low-carbon energy future (Anadon et al, 2011;Gallagher, Grübler, Kuhl, Nemet, & Wilson, 2012;Government of Canada, 2011;Kim & Kim, 2015). It comprises the processes that invent and advance technologies to increase the magnitude of available energy resources, improve energy services, and decrease the economic, environmental, or political costs associated with the value chain of energy (Gallagher, Holdren, & Sagar, 2006).…”

The dynamics of advancing climate policy in federal political systems

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To avoid irreversible climate damages, countries with different political systems must commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions across the world. The challenge posed to federal countries participating in international climate agreements through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is that successful implementation requires buy-in from their subnational governments. However, subnational climate action may not be aligned with the political priorities of the national government and could either undermine or support commitments made through the agreement. To explore these dynamics, we review the incoherence between international commitments, national and subnational policies of Canada and the United States, relying on case studies of investments in low-carbon energy and emissions outcomes.Political and policy incoherence has flowed in both directions. Both countries have
