“…Some research focuses on emissions reduction through different types of fiscal investments. Mahesh and Jasmin suggest that expanding investment in renewable energy sources on a large scale can effectively reduce emissions and help create a sustainable, low-carbon economy [ 32 ]. Framstad and Strand and Zhang find that investment in infrastructure can impact carbon emissions [ 33 , 34 ].…”

Among studies of the factors that influence carbon emissions and related regulations, economic aggregates, industrial structures, energy structures, population levels, and energy prices have been extensively explored, whereas studies from the perspective of fiscal leverage, particularly of local government investment (LGI), are rare. Of the limited number of studies on the effect of LGI on carbon emissions, most focus on its direct effect. Few studies consider regulatory effects, and there is a lack of emphasis on local areas. Using a cointegration test, a panel data model and clustering analysis based on Chinese data between 2000 and 2013, this study measures the direct role of LGI in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reduction. First, overall, within the sample time period, a 1% increase in LGI inhibits carbon emissions by 0.8906% and 0.5851% through its influence on the industrial structure and energy efficiency, respectively, with the industrial structure path playing a greater role than the efficiency path. Second, carbon emissions to some extent exhibit inertia. The previous year’s carbon emissions impact the following year’s carbon emissions by 0.5375%. Thus, if a reduction in carbon emissions in the previous year has a positive effect, then the carbon emissions reduction effect generated by LGI in the following year will be magnified. Third, LGI can effectively reduce carbon emissions, but there are significant regional differences in its impact. For example, in some provinces, such as Sichuan and Anhui, economic growth has not been decoupled from carbon emissions. Fourth, the carbon emissions reduction effect in the 30 provinces and municipalities sampled in this study can be classified into five categories—strong, relatively strong, medium, relatively weak and weak—based on the degree of local governments’ regulation of carbon emissions. The carbon emissions reduction effect of LGI is significant in the western and central regions of China but not in the eastern and northeast regions. This study helps overcome the limitations of previous studies on the regulatory effects of LGI on carbon emissions, and the constructed model may more closely reflect actual economic conditions. Moreover, the current study can benefit countries similar to China that aim to objectively identify the impacts of their LGI on carbon emissions, and such countries can use it as a reference in the formulation of investment policies based on their economic and industrial characteristics.

“…This is the reason why the literature has recently grown with many works added in this vein. Mahesh and Jasmin [4] focus on the importance of renewable energy in reducing CO2 emissions but they also come to the conclusion regarding the indispensability of substantial government incentives to support investments of this nature.

In this paper, the Authors present the results of their research conducted to stochastically define a method to assess investments in electric production plants using renewable energy with particular reference to photovoltaic plants. The method is broken down into six sequential steps where particularly suitable instruments are used for stochastic applications such as: the Monte Carlo method, the Design of Experiments and the Response Surface Methodology. It is therefore possible to obtain regression meta-models as output that allow us to highlight the cause and effect relationship between some input variables and the main assessment parameters of an investment. The method's declared objective is to allow possible investors to use a reliable assessment instrument and to provide clearly interpretable quantitative answers.

“…The solar PV industry has presented a new way of creating employment, ecosystems and energy market for the uninhabitable conditions [7] besides their benefits and use for many (micro-) grid applications [8]- [15]. The investment for creating PV industry was mainly by the private sector entities from developed countries to develop a business that can curb the CO2 emissions [16]. By mimicking the policies that led to investments in developed countries, the developing countries were able to introduce policies like feed in tariff, green certificates, tax exemption, low interest bank loans, etc.…”
