“…In the case of India, it was reported that responsiveness of GDP to non‐renewable sources of electricity generation was positive and higher than that of renewable sources in the long run. Meanwhile, short‐term, one‐way causality flowing from economic activity to electricity use from non‐renewable sources was found by Bélaïd and Youssef () for Algeria.…”

The present study explores the empirical relationship between electricity consumption, trade openness and economic growth in India utilising cointegration tests and Granger causality vector error correction model for the period 1971–2016. The results of ARDL model reveal that the variables are cointegrated. The robustness of the long‐run relationship between variables is confirmed by applying Hatemi‐J cointegration model. The empirical results show that electricity consumption statistically significantly stimulates economic growth in India both in long term and short term. However, the elasticity of economic growth with respect to electricity use is found to be higher in the long term than that of the short term. Furthermore, we find the existence of a long‐term Granger causality flowing from electricity use to economic growth. In addition, the electricity consumption is also commanded by economic growth in the short‐run. As a broad policy implication, India needs to focus on the development of a sustainable mode of electricity production for achieving high economic growth in the years to come.

“…Likewise, income and energy consumption are found to deteriorate the environment by increasing the carbon dioxide emissions in the region. In addition, Bélaïd and Youssef argue that economic growth and nonrenewable energy have deteriorated the environmental quality in Algeria by increasing the Co2 emissions. Similarly, Chiu employs panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model and finds that energy and real income have detrimental impacts on the environmental conditions of 99 countries.…”

This study examines the influence of green field investment, energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization on the environmental performance of nine selected Asian developing countries over 2003–2014 period. It uses Environmental Performance Index (EPI), developed by the Yale University as proxy for environment. By applying the fixed and random effect estimators and robust least squares technique, the empirical findings show that green field investment has adverse effect on the environmental performance of the nine selected Asian developing countries. However, economic growth is found to have positive influence on the environmental performance. The results suggest that strict environmental regulations should be introduced to mitigate the detrimental effects of foreign capital in these countries and there should not be compromise on the quality of foreign capital. In addition, adequate policies should be formulated to enhance economic growth to ensure sustainable environment in these regions. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 37: 1085–1092, 2018

Algerian Energy Policy: Perspectives, Barriers, and Missed Opportunities

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the uncertainties of the energy market impacted by the collapse of oil prices and a sharp increase in domestic energy consumption, Algeria continues to make huge efforts to bring energy access to its people. At the same time, the country is also witnessing a very slow start of the energy transition, which brings into question the energy‐intensive development model accused of contributing both to global warming and to the depletion of fossil resources in the medium and long term. Although quantified targets are set, the National Program for the Development of Renewable Energies (NPDRE) struggles to take off and is lagging behind. There is no doubt that the recent fall in oil prices will further complicate the achievement of this transition; still one may raise the question of whether other barriers to the NPDRE should not be removed. Admittedly, the Algerian State has set up an incentive mechanism based on feed‐in‐tariffs to boost the NPDRE, but this failed to attract potential investors. This paper seeks to analyze the reasons for these failures as well as other issues linked with the energy–water–food trilemma. There are plenty, but the heavily subsidized energy products appear to be the most disabling.
