“…Furthermore, contrary to the literature that discusses the substantial effect of aid in low‐income countries versus the attractiveness of FDI in middle‐income countries (e.g., J. E. Kim, 2018), my findings show that FDI outflow and trade openness can be supportive in low‐income countries, whereas aid is more effective in upper‐middle‐income countries. One reason for this may be that low‐income countries need the transfer of knowhow, skills and technology.…”

This article empirically investigates the impact of foreign aid on recipients' productive capabilities. Panel data consists of 86 countries covering the period 2003-2019. The novelty of this study is in linking aid to a new proxy for measuring productive capabilities-the economic complexity index.Because of its ability to predict future growth, economic complexity is valuable in gauging aid effectiveness. The findings show that foreign aid benefits the recipients' economic complexity, although the results are mixed when aid is disaggregated by sector and type at different income levels.

“…These sources of finance are regrouped under the well-known concept of financial globalization. Globalization has been argued to be a motor of RE diffusion (Kim, 2018;. According to these authors, globalization spurs economic growth, through knowledge diffusion, innovation, global value chain participation, and infrastructural development (Asongu et al, 2022).…”

“…The third strand investigates the effect of natural resources on economic development and investment, and the last strand deals with the mediating effect of governance in the natural resources–renewable energy nexus. Regarding the first strand, several sources of financing for renewable energy have been discussed in the literature, with financial globalization being considered one such source (Das et al, 2021; Doytch & Narayan, 2016; Fotio et al, 2022; Haque & Rashid, 2022; Kim, 2018; Koengkan et al, 2020; Roberts et al, 2009; Samour et al, 2022). Foreign direct investment inflows enhance renewable energy consumption because as a source of financing, they foster innovation and energy efficiency (Doytch & Narayan, 2016).…”

Based on data for 48 African countries for the period 2000–2020, we analyse the effects of natural resources on renewable energy development and the mediating effects of governance on that relationship. For this purpose, the Ordinary Least Squares method was used to develop a baseline regression model, and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) approach was used for the dynamic model regression. Quantile regression was used for robustness checking across the various distributions of renewable energy. First, we find that natural resources enhance renewable energy development in Africa and that the results are robust across alternative specifications of natural resources and governance, except for forest resources, which have a negative effect on renewable energy development. When robustness is checked through a quantile regression analysis, the results show that the positive effect depends on the conditional distribution of natural resources and the type of natural resource under consideration. The negative effect of total natural resources becomes weaker as we move towards higher quantiles. Second, governance interacts with natural resource rents to generate positive effects across different governance specifications and natural resources, except for coal rent. We thereby derive some relevant implications for renewable energy financing in the Global South.
