摘要

近年来，全世界对全球气候变化的认识日益增强，发展和支持可再生能源的重要性日益突出。然而，公众对可再生能源的支持在不同的国家和地区存在差异，特别是在传统化石燃料储量丰富的国家和地区。本文利用在天然气和石油资源丰富的俄罗斯联邦几个地区进行的在线调查(N = 750)的结果，分析了公众对可再生能源经济学的看法。我们的研究结果表明，人们对可再生能源的信任程度与对传统能源的信任程度不同。尽管我们发现了一些对可再生能源技术的支持，但它似乎与受访者对环境保护和可持续发展的关注以及一些人口变量相关。回归分析的结果证实，对气候保护的积极态度决定了对各种可再生能源的支持，而财政或政治收益并没有那么显著。结果表明，公众对可再生能源的看法可以而且应该通过相关政策制定者和公共当局在大众媒体上进行的宣传活动和介绍来形成。

Public Views of the Economy of the Renewable Energy Sources: Evidence from Russia

Recent worldwide growing awareness of the global climate changes stressed the importance of developing and supporting the renewable energy sources (RES). However, the public support for RES varies across various countries and regions, especially those abundant in traditional fossil fuels. This paper presents the analysis of the public views of the economics of the renewable energy using the results of the online survey (N = 750) conducted in several regions of the Russian Federation, a country abundant in natural gas and oil. Our results indicate that there is a mixed opinion on trust in RES as opposed to the traditional energy sources. Even though we found some support for the renewable energy technologies, it appears that it is correlated with the respondents’ concerns about the environmental protection and sustainable development as well as with some demographic variables. The outcomes of the regression analysis confirmed that positive attitudes towards climate protection predetermined the support for various types of RES, while the financial or political gains did not come through as significant. The results indicate that public views on the renewable energy sources could and should be shaped by the information campaigns and presentations in mass media conducted by relevant policymakers and public authorities.

期刊介绍： The mission of the Contemporary Economics is to publish advanced theoretical and empirical research in economics, finance, accounting and management with the noticeable contribution and impact to the development of those disciplines and preferably with practice relevancies. All entirety of methods is desirable, including a falsification of conventional understanding, theory building through inductive or qualitative research, first empirical testing of a theory, meta-analysis with theoretical implications, constructive replication that clarifies the boundaries or range of a theory for theoretical research as well as qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory, meta-analytic, and combination for an empirical research. This clear priority for comprehensive manuscripts containing a methodology-based theoretical and empirical research with implications and recommendations for policymaking does not exclude manuscripts entirely focused on theory or methodology. Manuscripts that raise significant, actual topics of international relevance will be highly appreciated. The interdisciplinary approach including – besides economic, financial, accounting or managerial –also other aspects, is welcomed.
