“…This implies that, in the long run, a higher GE will increase the use of REN in Saudi Arabia. The possible explanation for the strong correlation between 2016 and 2022 is that the Saudi government was bounded by the 2030 National Vision, implementing bold reforms to introduce REN, reduce total energy consumption and decrease energy intensity in the economy [37]. This outcome supports the argument that an effective government can enhance the use of cleaner energy by improving low-carbon production, incentivizing the production and usage of cleaner energy, and reducing the complexities inherent to the energy transition process [22].…”

This study examines the impact of various factors, including oil rents, government effectiveness, economic complexity, and economic growth, on the use of renewable energy in Saudi Arabia. Employing a novel time-localized wavelet multiple regression correlation framework, the unique approach followed reveals significant and positive interconnections between these factors and promotes renewable energy utilization in the long run. However, the aforementioned factors’ short-term correlations are substantially lower and insignificant for some time intervals. Importantly, the analysis performed shows that oil rents and government effectiveness play a dominant role among the other factors. These findings have crucial policy implications, highlighting the need for effective governance and the potential for diversifying energy sources in Saudi Arabia.

“…Among those, command-and-control environmental regulation led by the government still dominates. Although market-based tools such as carbon emissions trading and carbon tax have produced significant emissions reduction benefits [ 16 , 17 ], these benefits have been achieved under the supervision and deterrence of administrative orders and environmental regulations [ 37 ]. Most scholars emphasize pollution monitoring and administrative controls as the main causes of environmental quality improvements [ 38 , 39 ].…”

China’s economy experienced great growth, which also induces large carbon emission. Facing the target of “Carbon peak, Carbon neutrality” in China, it is vital to improve the carbon emission efficiency. Employing the spatial Difference-in-Differences model, this paper investigates the impact of environmental regulation on carbon emission efficiency with a quasi-natural experiment of Pollution Levy Standards Adjustment in China. Our empirical results show that the environmental regulation can significantly improve the carbon emission efficiency. moreover, two impact channels are explored: green innovation and industrial upgrading. More specifically, the green innovation increases with environmental regulation, and the increased green innovation improves carbon emission efficiency. The industry upgrading increases with environmental regulation, and the increased industry upgrading improves carbon emission efficiency. Finally, in terms of city heterogeneity, we find that the impact of environmental regulation will be more pronounced for larger cities and resource-based cities. Our findings suggest that the environmental regulation must be enhanced for both smaller cities and non-resource-based cities. Moreover, to promote the green innovation of firms, since green innovation is risky and costly, governments should provide more subsidies or grants on corporate green technologies, thus firms will be motivated to invest in green technologies to reduce carbon emission.

“…Aligning Saudi Vision 2030 and other commitments. Saudi Arabia reduced energy subsidiaries, introduced measures to rely less on petroleum assets, and took the initiative to introduce better laws (Busch et al, 2018 [ [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] , [32] , [33] ]. Following the Berne Copyright and Paris Industrial Property Conventions, Saudi Arabia amended the intellectual property (IP) laws to ensure adherence to the international standard [ 34 ].…”
