For this purpose, the factors determining energy consumption are analyzed specifically for MIST (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea and Turkey) countries, for a period covering the years 2000-2022. In the study, population growth rate, balance of trade in goods and services, GDP, foreign direct investments and energy prices are used as factors determining energy consumption. The results show that the total population growth rate and GDP tend to have a positive impact on energy consumption at the 99% confidence level, while trade openness and foreign direct investments variables affect energy consumption at the 90% confidence level, and this balance exhibits a positive interaction. No significant effect of energy prices on energy consumption was detected.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141674522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The subjects of this study are electrical energy users who are customers of PT PLN Persero as many as 85,600,000 people, where the variables in this study are endogenous variables, namely the variable integration of renewable energy and business approaches, while the exogenous variable is the improvement of the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner, and the moderating variable is the carbon emission mitigation variable, where the results of data analysis are processed through SEM analysis through SMART PLS 3.0 software. From the results of existing research, it is concluded that partially the renewable energy integration variable and the business approach variable affect the improvement of the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner and the renewable energy integration variable affects the mitigation of carbon emissions. Simultaneously, the variable of renewable energy integration and business approach affect the variable of increasing the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner through carbon emission mitigation as a moderating variable. With the renewable energy integration process we can mitigate carbon emissions in accordance with existing standards, where declining carbon emissions will create the ability of the Indonesian electricity sector in a sustainable manner, where the utilization of the sustainability of the electricity sector's capabilities requires a business approach that can be reached by underprivileged people so that later it can create affordable prices and make people's purchasing power easier, and avoid community losses due to global warming and climate change.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141676213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Interplay of Digital Financial Inclusion, Technological Innovation, Good Governance, and Carbon Neutrality in the Top 30 Remittance-Receiving Countries: The Significance of Renewable Energy Integration","authors":"Nusrat Farzana, Md. Qamruzzaman, Piana Monsur Mindia","doi":"10.32479/ijeep.16097","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.16097","url":null,"abstract":"Our research explores the nexus between digital finance inclusion, technological innovation, good governance, renewable energy, and carbon neutrality in the top 30 remittance-receiving countries, focusing on the period from 2001 to 2020. Through comprehensive panel data analysis employing SH tests, CSD tests, CADF tests, D-H causality tests, and robustness checks, we investigate the impacts of these factors on carbon emissions. This study uncovers a positive relationship between digital financial inclusion and reduced carbon emissions, suggesting that access to digital finance can significantly lower carbon footprints. This aligns with prior research indicating that digital finance mitigates the need for traditional banking and paper transactions, thus contributing to environmental sustainability. We also find that remittances have a beneficial impact on carbon neutrality efforts, as they often fund investments in clean energy technologies and sustainable development initiatives. However, the expansion of digital financial services has been linked to increased energy consumption and electronic waste, highlighting the complexity of its environmental impact. Furthermore, our findings underscore the critical role of effective governance in achieving carbon emission reduction goals. Countries with transparent, accountable, and efficient governance systems tend to implement ambitious climate policies successfully. Additionally, technological innovation emerges as a pivotal factor in transitioning to a low-carbon economy, with innovation in clean energy technologies playing a significant role in reducing carbon emissions. Our analysis reveals strong positive correlations among digital finance, remittances, technological innovation, good governance, renewable energy, and carbon neutrality. The study suggests several policy recommendations to enhance sustainability and reduce carbon emissions. These include investing in renewable energy, improving governance practices, leveraging digital financial services and remittances for sustainable development, and fostering global collaboration. By implementing these strategies, countries can make significant strides toward environmental sustainability and carbon neutrality. This research contributes valuable insights into the interconnectedness of digital finance, remittances, governance, innovation, renewable energy, and carbon emissions. It offers guidance for policymakers and stakeholders on crafting effective strategies for sustainable economic development and environmental protection, emphasizing the importance of an integrated approach to achieve global carbon neutrality goals.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141673679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the interplay between innovation, economic growth, and ecological impact across 18 countries, which collectively account for approximately 64% of global greenhouse gas emissions, using data from 2000 to 2022. Using the structural equation modeling approach, we investigate how the regulatory framework moderates and economic growth mediates these complex relationships. The empirical results reveal that innovation positively impacts economic growth, but this effect is statistically insignificant. Similarly, economic growth contributes significantly to environmental degradation. Moreover, the interaction between innovation and the regulatory framework leads to a decline in economic growth. Furthermore, innovation alone in a direct relationship, reduces ecological impact significantly but innovation and regulatory framework jointly increase ecological impact. Economic growth plays a significant role in mediating the relationship between the interaction term and ecological impact, but it does not significantly influence the relationship between innovation and ecological impact, according to empirical evidence. These insights are vital for policymakers to develop strategies that encourage sustainable growth and innovation.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 32","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LEB also describes the welfare condition of a country, where generally developed countries have a high level of LEB. This research will discuss the relationship between the variables of Life Expectancy at Birth (LEB), Corbon Dioxide (CO2) Emissions, Population Growth (PG), and Growth Gross Domestic Product (GDPG) in the case of Indonesia from 1950 to 2020. The aims of this study is to build a model of the relationship between variables LEB, CO2, PG and GDPG, and based on the best model obtained then will discuss the causal relationship between variables using Granger-Causality, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and forecasting and the proportion of error covariance decompositions. From the analysis results, the best model that describes the relationship between variables: LEB, CO2, PG, and GDPG is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results showed that there is a bidirectional relationship between the LEB variable and population growth. Partially, economic growth is proxied by GDPG affecting LEB and CO2 affecting PG. However, there was no effect of CO2 on LEB and GDPG in Indonesia. Based on the analysis results obtained, the chosen country is encouraged to consider the variables PG and GDPG in an effort to increase LEB in the future.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141675348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In agricultural production, the energy intensity of animal production is much higher than that of plant production, but mainly if physical units are considered. This study examines the energy intensity of food production in Poland from 2010 to 2019, contrasting animal and plant production in both physical and monetary units. Utilizing the EXIOBASE database, it compares energy consumption across wheat, sugar beets, pig, and poultry farming sectors, addressing the gap in research on energy intensity within these individual sectors. The research reveals that, contrary to physical unit measurements, the energy intensity in monetary terms is lower for animal production than for plant production. Specifically, plant production showed higher energy intensity, averaging 28.02 MJ/€1 GDP for wheat and 30.15 MJ/€1 GDP for sugar beets. In contrast, animal production had higher energy intensity when measured by physical units, with pigs and poultry averaging 15.72 MJ/kg and 15.36 MJ/kg, respectively. These disparities arise primarily from the greater profitability of animal production, impacting the results per monetary unit. The findings underscore the importance of including economic aspects in energy intensity measurements, influencing agricultural producers' decisions.","PeriodicalId":38194,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141674882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
