Empowering energy security: The impact of geopolitical risks on green total factor energy efficiency
Geopolitical risks (GPR) have long posed significant challenges to global energy security and environmental sustainability. This paper investigates a critical dimension of energy security by constructing a Green Total Factor Energy Efficiency (GTFEE) index, derived from the super-efficiency SBM model, to examine the impact of geopolitical risk on energy efficiency across 43 countries from 1998 to 2022. Employing instrumental variable quantile regression, the results show a positive relationship between GPR and GTFEE, with the effect becoming stronger at higher GTFEE quantiles. This impact is more pronounced in developing economies with mid-to-low income levels than in high-income developed nations. Furthermore, using a regression discontinuity design, the study finds that events such as military conflicts, international tensions, and Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC) significantly increase GTFEE. Complementary analysis based on the World Energy Trilemma Index further indicates that geopolitical risks enhance energy security and environmental sustainability. These findings provide policymakers and practitioners with empirical insights to optimize energy management strategies, strengthen resilience against geopolitical uncertainties, and promote sustainable energy practices on a global scale.
期刊介绍:
Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
