Abstract
Over the past few decades, the share of renewable energy has escalated in the total energy mix due to its indispensable role in global mitigating efforts. Therefore, the focus of empirics has recently shifted towards the factors that can impact renewable energy. Nevertheless, the role of institutional pressures and higher education in fostering renewable energy production has yet to be analyzed. This study examines the nexus between institutional pressures, higher education, and renewable energy production in top polluted economies using the CS-ARDL model. The estimates imply that institutional pressures, higher education, environmental policy stringency, GDP, and ICT factors favorably impact renewable energy production. In the short run, only the GDP and financial globalization boost renewable energy production. To boost renewable energy production, policymakers should increase awareness by increasing the general level of education and strengthening the government's role in the successful implementation of these policies.
在过去几十年里,由于可再生能源在全球缓解气候变化方面发挥着不可或缺的作用,可再生能源在整个能源组合中所占的比例不断上升。因此,实证研究的重点最近已转向影响可再生能源的因素。然而,机构压力和高等教育在促进可再生能源生产方面的作用尚待分析。本研究利用 CS-ARDL 模型研究了污染最严重经济体的制度压力、高等教育和可再生能源生产之间的关系。估计结果表明,制度压力、高等教育、环境政策严格程度、国内生产总值和信息通信技术因素对可再生能源生产产生有利影响。在短期内,只有 GDP 和金融全球化能促进可再生能源的生产。为促进可再生能源生产,政策制定者应通过提高总体教育水平来提高认识,并加强政府在成功实施这些政策中的作用。
