摘要

发展可再生能源被视为实现可持续发展的重要一步。在撒哈拉以南非洲（SSA）国家，制度质量在鼓励投资和实施有利于可再生能源的政策方面可以发挥至关重要的作用。本文研究了 2002 至 2018 年间 25 个撒哈拉以南非洲国家的制度质量在可再生能源对经济增长的影响中的作用。动态面板阈值模型的结果显示，制度质量对可再生能源对经济增长的贡献具有显著的阈值效应。虽然可再生能源消费对经济增长有积极的促进作用，但当制度质量指数（设定为 0.304）高于阈值时，其影响明显放大。当改变制度质量指标时，我们的研究结果依然稳健。就经济意义而言，通过促进良好的政治、经济和制度治理来提高整体制度质量，可以显著增加可再生能源对撒哈拉以南非洲国家经济增长的贡献。

Effect of renewable energy on economic growth in sub‐Saharan Africa: Role of institutional quality

The development of renewable energy is considered as an important step toward sustainable development. In sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries, institutional quality can play an essential role in encouraging investment and implementation of policies favoring renewable energy. This paper examines the role of institutional quality in the effect of renewable energy on economic growth across 25 SSA countries from 2002 to 2018. The results from the dynamic panel threshold model reveal a significant threshold effect of institutional quality on the contribution of renewable energy to economic growth. While renewable energy consumption positively contributes to economic growth, its impact is notably amplified when the institutional quality index, set at 0.304, is above the threshold. Our findings remain robust when altering institutional quality indicators. In terms of economic implications, improving overall institutional quality by promoting good political, economic, and institutional governance could significantly increase the contribution of renewable energies to economic growth in SSA countries.
