The Relationship between CO2 Emission, Renewable Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in Emerging Market Economies
In this study, the causal relationship between CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth for 19 emerging market economies during the period of 1990-2019 was examined using the Konya (2006) panel causality test, considering cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity. According to the findings, the neutrality hypothesis is mostly valid in emerging market economies. Therefore, environmentally friendly policies that lead to lower CO2 emissions can be promoted as an alternative path without negatively affecting economic growth. In this regard, it is recommended to increase renewable energy investments through taxes and incentives while implementing more stringent and comprehensive global restrictions to reduce traditional energy dependence.
