这项研究调查了前十大可再生能源国家和前十大经济复杂性指数(ECI)国家的二氧化碳排放量、实际国内生产总值(GDP)、可再生能源和不可再生能源发电量、城市化和出口质量之间的动态相互依存关系。我们使用了面板协整、长期FMOLS、DOLS和格兰杰因果关系等技术，时间跨度为1980-2014年。长期估计表明，对于排名前十的可再生能源国家来说，只有可再生能源发电有助于减少二氧化碳排放，而其他变量从长远来看会导致排放水平的增加。然而，对于主要的复杂经济体，经验数据强调了可再生能源在碳减排中的重要作用。出口质量导致排放水平下降，实际GDP、不可再生能源和城市化导致排放量上升。有趣的是，对于排名前十的可再生能源国家，格兰杰因果关系分析提到了可再生能源发电量和出口质量之间的双向短期关系，以及从出口质量到二氧化碳排放的单向因果关系。调查结果提到，采用使用可再生能源的清洁技术可能成为提高出口质量和减少二氧化碳排放的关键工具。成果与可持续发展目标(SDG-7：使用更多可再生、负担得起的能源；SDG-8：可持续经济增长和所有人的体面就业，SDG-13：管制排放和促进可再生能源)有关，并在这种意义上进行了讨论。
This study investigates the dynamic interdependence between CO2emissions, real gross domestic product (GDP), renewable and non-renewable energy generation, urbanization, and export quality for both the top ten renewable energy and top ten economic complexity index (ECI) countries. The techniques of panel cointegration, long-run FMOLS, DOLS, and Granger causality are used spanning the period 1980–2014. Long-run estimates suggest that, for the top ten renewable energy countries, only renewable energy generation contributes to mitigating CO2emissions, while the other variables lead to increase emissions levels in the long-run. However, for the case of leading complex economies, the empirics highlighted the significant role of renewable energy in carbon mitigation. Exports quality leads to decrease emissions level and real GDP, non-renewable energy and urbanization contribute to the rise in emissions. Interestingly, for the top ten renewable energy countries, Granger causality analysis mentioned a two-ways short-run relationship between renewable energy generation and export quality and one-way causality from export quality to CO2emissions. The findings mention that adopting clean technologies using renewable energy might act as a key tool for export quality improvement and mitigation of CO2emissions. Results are related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-7: using more renewable, affordable energy; SDG-8: sustainable economic growth and decent employment for all, SDG-13: regulating emissions and promoting renewable energy) and discussed in this sense.
