Green Energies, Employment, and Institutional Quality: Some Evidence for the OECD

Abstract: Using a sample of 19 OECD countries over the 1985–2011 period, we propose the application of fixed effects regression to appraise the impact of green energies on employment and to assess how the quality of institutions shapes the relationship. The evidence reported in this paper indicates that higher supply of green energies enhances employment, though the effect is crucially mediated by the quality of institutions, depending on the measure of institutional quality employed. Further, the relationship remains s… Show more

“…The first one is entrepreneurship which we find particularly relevant for the Spanish situation where the current legal framework provides adequate incentives since the new legislation regulating solar energy for self-consumption was introduced in 2019 (Royal Decree 244-2019) [42]. The conditions can be similar to those of other countries where rooftop PV facilities for industrial self-consumption are clear drivers of entrepreneurial activities, as we have detected in recent scientific literature [43][44][45]. The second topic relates to technological innovation, which also offers the possibility of optimizing electricity production within the limitations of the available resource.…”

Business environment optimization and relaxation of government regulations can promote output growth [14].…”
