Article Citation - WoS: 194Citation - Scopus: 217The Impact of Renewable Energy Consumption to Economic Growth: A Replication and Extension of Inglesi-Lotz (2016)(Elsevier, 2020-08) Dogan, Eyup; Altinoz, Buket; Madaleno, Mara; Taskin, DilvinThis study replicates and extends the results presented in a top-cited article in this journal, Inglesi-Lotz (2016), which analyzes the impact of renewable energy consumption to economic growth for the OECD countries by applying the ordinary least squares with fixed effect estimator on the data from 1990 to 2010. By using the same data and methods, this study first produces and compare empirical results with those reported in the original article. Then, it applies a set of new econometric methods on the same data to address heterogeneity in renewable energy and economic growth across the analyzed group of countries. The panel quantile regression estimation shows that the effect of renewable energy consumption on economic growth is positive for lower and lowmiddle quantiles; however, its effect becomes negative for middle, high-middle, and higher quantiles when renewable energy consumption is proxied by the absolute value. Furthermore, a negative impact of renewable energy on economic growth is observed in almost all quantiles when it is proxied by the share of renewable energy consumption to total energy consumption. These results greatly differ from those of the original study (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

To fill the gap in the literature, this study analyses the effect of race on energy poverty by employing the U.S. representative household panel data with 9043 complete surveys. This research addresses possible endogeneity issues by employing the novel method proposed by Oster (2019) as a robustness check in addition to the application of logistic regressions and ordinary least squares estimates. The empirical results show that the probability of exposure to poverty is higher for African-American households. The empirical outcome also presents that health and income are significant factors through which race influences energy poverty. This study suggests that subsidy programs would be beneficial in ensuring the breakage of the link between race and energy poverty by providing preferential discounted rates and easier access to energy to specific demographics of the population. At least ending with the housing segregation of African-Americans in the USA would be a way to surpass these difficulties and decrease energy poverty. Further discussions are presented in this study.Article Citation - WoS: 73Citation - Scopus: 76Production-Based and Consumption-Based Approaches for the Energy-Growth Nexus: Evidence from Asian Countries(Elsevier, 2020-07) Pandey, Sweety; Dogan, Eyup; Taskin, DilvinThe number of studies that highlight demand-side and supply-side of environmental degradation are quite limited in the literature. The aim of this study is to analyze the energy-growth-environment nexus in cooperation with globalization, urbanization, life expectancy and biocapacity as control variables by using both consumption-based and production-based approaches in an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework for Asian countries over the years of 1971-2014. The empirical results show that globalization improves environmental quality while urbanization, life expectancy, biocapacity and energy consumption increase environmental degradation. While the EKC hypothesis is validated for supply-side analysis, it is not validated for demand-side analysis for the panel of Asian countries. The governments should take initiatives to invest in research and development for the usage, promotion, development and adoption of clean energies. The policymakers should emphasize on the development of urban planning strategies of Asian countries to overcome the negative effects of urbanization on the environment. Further implications are discussed in the study. (C) 2020 Institution of Chemical Engineers. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Financial technology can provide not only an opportunity to tap into new pools of private capital to finance green and sustainable projects through innovative financial instruments but also provide support to clean technologies through the adoption of voluntary sustainability codes of conduct. However, there is still a lack of clear scientific evidence in the literature about how the green economy interacts with these relevant indicators of sustainable finance. Thus, this paper examines the time-varying causal relationship between indexes of financial technology (FinTech), clean technology (CleanTech), and the green economy (GECON), by applying the novel method proposed by Shi et al. (2018, 2020) on daily data from June 15, 2012 to December 15, 2021. This study finds a higher volatility and causality running from GECON to CleanTech and FinTech for the entire period. Furthermore, the green economy Granger causes FinTech and CleanTech with very significant episodes, especially at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The robustness of the results was checked with a rolling window and recursive evolving techniques that overall confirm bidirectional causal relationships between green economy and technology variables. The findings imply that global initiatives to achieve low-carbon economies need to be complemented with the use of clean technologies in the production process and the continuous digitalization of financial sectors. The promotion of clean technology production by governments and the increased interest of investors in FinTech industries will stimulate green economic growth.(c) 2022 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Economic Society of Australia, Queensland.Article Citation - WoS: 318Citation - Scopus: 359A Step Forward on Sustainability: The Nexus of Environmental Responsibility, Green Technology, Clean Energy and Green Finance(Elsevier, 2022-05) Madaleno, Mara; Dogan, Eyup; Taskin, DilvinThe literature lacks enough evidence on the nexus of green finance and clean energy although the terms 'green' and 'clean' have been eminent concepts in sustainable development. Therefore, the fundamental objective of this study is to carry out the causal relationship among green finance, clean energy, environmental responsibility, and green technology by applying the novel time-varying causality test (Shi et al., 2018, 2020) on the daily data spanning from July 31, 2014, to October 12, 2021. The data follow persistent upward and downward movements; thus, the application of a time-varying approach should be reliable and robust. The recursive evolving and rolling window algorithms show bidirectional causalities among green finance, clean energy, environmental responsibility, and green technology, but not for the entire period, and with a special decrease and loss of significance in the COVID-19 period. In addition, clean energy caused by green finance is less evident, except in specific periods, especially at the start of the pandemic. However, higher volatility and significance of causality are observed for the entire period running from clean energy to green finance. Thus, green finance investments are promoted and proportionated by the need for clean energy. This study exhibits the need to design a comprehensive policy for strengthening environmental responsibility and green finance through the funding of green technology to successful energy transition and sustainable development goals.Article Citation - WoS: 191Citation - Scopus: 206Which Households Are More Energy Vulnerable? Energy Poverty and Financial Inclusion in Turkey(Elsevier, 2021) Dogan, Eyup; Madaleno, Mara; Taskin, DilvinThis study examines the effects of financial inclusion on energy poverty using the 2018 Turkish Household Budget and Consumption Expenditure Surveys. The study adopts three different measures of energy poverty and then analyzes the impact of financial inclusion proxied by a multidimensional index on energy poverty using different estimation strategies. After addressing the endogeneity of financial inclusion by instrumenting financial inclusion with access to the nearest bank in a two-stage least squares framework, the empirical results show that financial inclusion significantly alleviates energy poverty while its impact is higher for female-headed households. These findings are robust to Oster's (2019) bounds estimates that deal with omitted variable bias. The results also suggest that health and income are significant through which financial inclusion influences energy poverty. The findings thus point to the need for policies that promote financial inclusion as a way of alleviating energy poverty. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
