Renewable and non-renewable energy, regime type and economic growth
Abstract
The paper analyses the effect of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption as well as the regime type on economic growth in 30 Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over the period 1980–2012. Using heterogeneous panel cointegration and panel-based error correction tests, we find long-run relationship between the variables. However, short-run results are not robust, which suggest that energy sector investments are long-term in nature. Specifically, the results show that while both renewable and non-renewable energy have significant positive effect on economic growth, non-renewable energy has a greater growth enhancing effect than renewable energy. A 10% increase in renewable energy consumption is associated with an increase in economic growth by 0.27%, while a 10% increase in non-renewable energy consumption leads to an increase in growth by 2.11% ceteris paribus. Further, the findings of the study show that democratic states experience higher growth rates than autocratic states.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
