“…On the other hand, renewable energy consumption specifies the focus on creating the awareness about the environmental issues and related threats (Kamoun et al, 2019). Although a common notion is that energy sources are highly linked to environmental outcomes, yet the focus on renewable sources would provide some good economic results.…”

“…Although a common notion is that energy sources are highly linked to environmental outcomes, yet the focus on renewable sources would provide some good economic results. In this way, some of the topics which are examined with the renewable energy consumptions are: economic growth, employment, local sustainability, income distribution, financial development and so on (Kamoun et al, 2019;Sharif et al, 2019;Geng, 2020;Goo et al, 2020;Ariantjelangi, 2020;Gautam et al, 2020). However, a latest topic in the field of energy economics provides the empirical relationship between the renewable energy consumption and income inequality.…”

“…Different variables, like natural resources use, material and energy flows can be used as proxies of environmental degradation (Katz 2015;Sun and Fang 2018;Vehmas et al 2007). More recently, several authors (Kamoun et al 2017;Tiba and Frikha 2019) Another stream of literature focuses on the intensity-of-use hypothesis which can be explained by the availability of natural resources, improvements in the efficiency of material use and/or shift towards the service sector. Several studies have showed an inverted-U pattern between material use (steel, copper and aluminum)…”

Economic Growth and Scientific Knowledge as Determinants of Innovation Uptake in a Situation of Uncertainty About Environmental or Health Risk

With growing concern for potential negative impacts to health or the environment of new types of consumer goods reaching the market, a major challenge for both policy makers and producers is to understand conditions of uptake of innovation in a situation of uncertainty concerning risk related to these products. Our contribution studies the effects of economic growth and of the production of new scientific knowledge on risk, on innovation uptake. It focuses on the case of polycarbonate, an intermediate good that requires the use of bisphenol A (BPA), a suspected endocrine disruptor. Polycarbonate is a widely used material found in automotive but also in baby-bottles and other plastics. Using Japanese time-series data, the autoregressive distributed lag approach is applied to estimate the relationship between aggregate material use, economic growth and new scientific knowledge about risk related to this material. Polycarbonate sales are used as a dependent variable. First, the hypothesis of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) is tested. Then, the quarterly quantity of the global number of scientific articles dealing with potential risk of BPA is included in the model.Results support the EKC theory in so far as the model presents an inverted-U-shaped link between economic growth and polycarbonate use. There is also an inverted-U-shape curve of the relationship between the number of scientific publications and polycarbonate sales. In other words, the paper also shows that, in a first phase, the production of scientific knowledge about risk related to bisphenol A may have no negative impact on innovation uptake.

“…In the renewable energy-growth nexus literature, three strands have emerged. The first strand posits that renewable energy consumption has a positive effect on economic growth (see, among others, Cetin, 2016;Kamoun, Abdelkafi & Ghorbel, 2019;Majeed et al, 2021), while the second strand maintains that the impact is negative (see Tsaurai & Ngcobo, 2020;Venkatraja, 2020, among others). The third strand emphasises that renewable energy use has no significant impact on economic growth (see Nyoni & Phiri, 2018;Smolovic et al, 2020, in traditional member states).…”

Does Renewable Energy Spur Economic Growth in Kenya? An Empirical Investigation

In this paper, the dynamic impact of renewable energy consumption on economic growth in Kenya has been empirically examined during the period from 1990 to 2019, using the autoregressive distributed lag-bounds testing approach. The study was motivated by the call to increase renewable energy use in Kenya. Contrary to expectations, the results of the study show that renewable energy consumption has no significant impact on economic growth in Kenya, regardless of whether the analysis is in the long or short run. The study, thus, concludes that the development of the real sector in Kenya is not dependent on the exploration of renewable energy. This implies that Kenya can still pursue the necessary energy conservations policies without compromising its long-term growth trajectory.
