The financial development and renewable energy consumption nexus in Africa: Does the quality of governance matter?
The impact of financial development (FD) on renewable energy consumption has been extensively examined in recent years. Nevertheless, studies on the moderation of quality of governance in the financial development and renewable energy consumption nexus are sparse. By filling the gap in the literature relating to energy economicsc, this study investigates the moderating effect of the quality of governance on the relationship between financial development and consumption of renewable energy for a panel of 33 African countries over the period between 2000 and 2020. The fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimation technique is used to account for cointegration and cross‐sectional dependence. The results unveil that the impact of governance quality and financial development on renewable energy consumption is negative and statistically significant. Moreover, the results reveal that the FD‐governance quality interactions are significant and negative. Governance quality thresholds at which the negative incidence of financial development on renewable energy consumption is completely nullified are provided.
期刊介绍:
Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged.
The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making.
Criteria for selection of submitted articles include:
1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article;
2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects;
3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
