The impact of financial development on renewable energy development in the MENA region: the role of institutional and political factors

Haifa Saadaoui

Summary: This study analyzes the role of institutional factors and financial development in renewable energy transition in the Middle East and North Africa region. The findings suggest that institutional and political factors are key in promoting the transition, while global financial development has limited impact. Additionally, in the short term, financial development has a negative effect, while income drives the transition in both short and long terms.

Does ICT change the relationship between total factor productivity and CO2 emissions? Evidence based on a nonlinear model

Bechir Ben Lahouel et al.

Summary: The study revealed that ICT as a transition variable affects the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) and CO2 emissions, resulting in improved carbon efficiency. The nonlinear model of CO2 emissions with more ICT usage could boost economic growth and help mitigate climate change.

The effect of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on economic growth: Non-parametric evidence

Kris Ivanovski et al.

Summary: The study utilizes non-parametric modeling technique to examine the time-varying impact of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on economic growth from 1990 to 2015. The results indicate that non-renewable energy consumption has a significant positive effect on economic growth in OECD countries, while the impact of renewable energy is statistically insignificant in most parts of the study period. In non-OECD countries, both renewable and non-renewable energy consumption promote economic growth, suggesting the potential role of developing countries in the transition to renewables.

ICT diffusion and economic growth: Evidence from the sectorial analysis of a periphery country

Rahim Kallal et al.

Summary: This study provides insights into the relationship between ICT diffusion and economic growth in Tunisia through a sectorial analysis. It found that ICT diffusion has a positive long-term effect on Tunisia's economic growth, but a negative short-term effect due to investment bias. These findings have important implications for investors and policymakers, with the sectorial index helping investors identify high potential growth sectors post-ICT improvement. The analysis can also serve as a dashboard for policymakers to promote ICT growth across sectors.

On the nonlinear relationship between energy use and CO2 emissions within an EKC framework: Evidence from panel smooth transition regression in the MENA region

Nidhaleddine Ben Cheikh et al.

Summary: This study proposes a new approach for analyzing the dynamic relationships between CO2 emissions, energy use, and income in the Middle East and North African region using a nonlinear panel smooth transition regression framework. The empirical findings show that pollutant emissions respond nonlinearly to energy consumption and GDP growth. The study reveals an inverted U-shaped pattern for the impact of energy on CO2 emissions and highlights that GDP growth significantly impacts carbon emissions only for higher energy consumption growth.
