Abstract

ABSTRACT To better understand renewable energy uptake in emergingeconomies, we develop a typology of capitalism for 54 middle-income countries and use Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) to test the Varieties of Capitalism (VoC) theory to illustrate which type of capitalism produced successful or unsuccessful renewables projects in these states. We find that even when the VoC approach is properly specified for developing states, it only explains about 44% of the outcome. Despite this, four causal pathways of combined economic institutions from the VoC theory were found to be sufficient for explaining this phenomenon, but liberal institutions performed poorly in each case.

新兴和发展中经济体的资本主义和可再生能源的多样性

摘要为了更好地理解新兴经济体对可再生能源的吸收，我们为54个中等收入国家开发了一种资本主义类型，并使用定性比较分析（QCA）来检验资本主义的多样性（VoC）理论，以说明哪种类型的资本主义在这些国家产生了成功或不成功的可再生能源项目。我们发现，即使VoC方法被适当地指定用于发展中国家，它也只能解释大约44%的结果。尽管如此，VoC理论中的四条综合经济制度的因果路径被发现足以解释这一现象，但自由制度在每种情况下都表现不佳。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
