“…The leapfrogging hypothesis, however, challenges this status quo by postulating that low-income countries can expand their economies with modern low-carbon technologies without relying on conventional or fossil fuels as the advanced countries did (Gallagher 2006). This concept is based on the premise that modern and cleaner energy technologies can be transferred to, and widely deployed in developing countries.…”

“…This concept is based on the premise that modern and cleaner energy technologies can be transferred to, and widely deployed in developing countries. Gallagher (2006) contends that such technology transfer may not be practical, especially where the recipient developing countries lack the technological capabilities to develop or integrate/localize these technologies from the advanced countries.…”

Unlike energy security, energy diversification, which is an essential precursor for energy security and sustainability transitions, has not received much scholarly attention, especially in Africa. Applying the Energy Mix Concentration Index method (a modified version of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index), this study examined energy diversification and transition trends in Africa's top ten economies over an 18-year period, from 2000 to 2017. Data were obtained in July 2020 from the African Union Energy Commission's data portal. Overall, energy diversification was found to be occurring at a very slow pace. Kenya and Morocco emerged as the two most energy diversified countries (with indices of 0.34 and 0.37, respectively), while Algeria (0.98) and Ethiopia (0.87) were the least diversified countries as at 2017. The energy transition trend is consistent with the multiple fuel use/energy stacking model rather than the energy ladder hypothesis. "Balance" (the share of each energy source in the energy mix) was found to significantly influence energy diversification. Contrary to past assertions, this study finds that higher "variety" (the number of energy sources in the energy mix) does not signify greater diversity. A weak negative linear relationship was found between gross domestic product growth and Energy Mix Concentration Indices for most countries, suggesting that as gross domestic product grows, the energy mix becomes more diversified. However, this relationship was statistically insignificant. Policy makers need to increase investments in renewable energies, and diversify their economies (especially in oil-dependent countries) to facilitate energy diversification and sustainable energy transitions.

“…The use of correlation analysis in the study made it possible to determine the degree of influence of the level of provision of agro-industrial enterprises with RES on their competitiveness (Gorb et al 2020). It was found that there is a steady relationship between the introduction of RES in the activities of companies, the level of their competitiveness, and energy conservation costs.…”

The study of the impact of the availability of renewable energy sources (RES) on the competitiveness and cost reduction opportunities is an actual objective for agro-industrial enterprises in the present time. The purpose of this paper was to develop a methodological approach based on a questionnaire survey, an integrated indicator of enterprise competitiveness, a model for assessing energy conservation costs, and regression analysis combined with a hierarchical synthesis of 20 Russian agro-industrial companies. The solution of the problem of nonlinear optimization of agro-industrial companies made it possible to determine the excess of the competitiveness criterion over the criterion of energy conservation cost reduction as a result of the use of RES. The conducted regression analysis showed a close relationship between the competitiveness of the companies under study and the availability of RES. Modeling and hierarchical synthesis of the study results confirmed that the use of RES in the activities of agro-industrial companies stimulates their competitive potential reflected by the competitiveness index and minimizes energy conservation costs. It was also found that there is an inverse regression relationship with a high degree of correlation between the provision of RES and the cost of energy-saving measures. Hence, it can be argued that a greater emphasis on the provision of Russian agro-industrial enterprises with RES can lead to their more sustainable and efficient development due to increased competitiveness and better cost reduction strategies.

Pandemia COVID-19 i podjęte przez rządy i organizacje międzynarodowe decyzje i działania w diametralny sposób zmieniły warunki konkurowania w gospodarce światowej. Jedną z kluczowych cech umożliwiających osiągnięcie wysokiej pozycji konkurencyjnej stała się odporność (resiliance) na kryzys, wzrosło również znaczenie zrównoważonego wymiaru konkurencyjności. Te nowe tendencje wyznaczają główny cel badania, którym jest wyznaczenie pozycji konkurencyjnej polskiej gospodarki w dobie pandemii COVID-19, z uwzględnieniem najważniejszych elementów składających się na konkurencyjność zrównoważoną. Cele szczegółowe to: przedstawienie podstaw teoretycznych zagadnienia konkurencyjności międzynarodowej w dobie kryzysu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem znaczenia konkurencyjności zrównoważonej i zagadnienia odporności (resiliance) i podatności (vulnerability) na kryzysy, określenie zdolności konkurencyjnej Polski, w szczególności ocenę stanu rozwoju poszczególnych czynników konkurencyjności, takich jak: zasoby ziemi i wody, inwestycje, siła robocza, innowacje i rozwój technologiczny oraz instytucje, wyznaczenie międzynarodowej pozycji konkurencyjnej Polski na tle innych państw członkowskich Unii Europejskiej, z uwzględnieniem konkurencyjności dochodowej, konkurencyjności w handlu zagranicznym oraz konkurencyjności zrównoważonej (uwzględniającej elementy środowiskowe i społeczne).
