“…Then, they also conclude that financial development mitigates carbon emissions in high-income countries but has the opposite effect on low-and middle-income groups. However, Zaidi et al [24] using FMOLS and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares Estimator (DOLS), did not find a two-way causality relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. As with Mahmoodi [18]'s study, using panel cointegration and causality, the panel vector error correction model found a unidirectional causality of GDP and energy consumption.…”

This study examines the impacts of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption, urban population, and population size on economic growth. This study utilizes the Panel Unit Root Test, Pedroni's Residual-based Cointegration Test, and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) techniques to analyze data from 2010 to 2021 for 19 countries within the Group of Twenty (G20). The cointegration test indicates that renewable energy consumption, nonrenewable energy consumption, urban population, and total population are long-term associated with GDP growth. According to FMOLS estimates, renewable energy consumption has a positive impact on GDP growth in G20 countries. The impact of renewable energy consumption on GDP growth varies; natural gas consumption does not affect GDP growth, but petroleum consumption significantly affects GDP growth in G20 countries. Furthermore, the study identifies the urban population as a control variable that harms GDP growth. The empirical evidence derived from this study posits that it would be judicious for G20 policymakers to proactively institute a suite of policies that invigorate the advancement of renewable energy sources, given that such a course of action has been demonstrated to engender a notable augmentation in GDP growth.

“…Various scholarly inquiries have acknowledged the significance of utilizing renewable and non-renewable energy sources with economic growth and competitiveness [20,24,25]. Energy is an essential resource for producers, as it plays a critical role in setting production costs and subsequently impacts consumer pricing levels.…”

“…There is empirical evidence that such a deficiency in electricity supply undermines growth in developing economies (e.g. Atems and Hotaling, 2018;Zaidi et al, 2018;Cole et al, 2018;Cook, 2011;Ferguson, et al, 2000;Davis, 1998). This problem is an even bigger challenge when viewed in the context that smallholder farmers, who are mostly rural dwellers, produce as much as 80 percent of food in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia (Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa [AGRA], 2017); and that the productive efforts of this group have direct impact on food security in the affected countries.…”

The theorized benefits of mobile phone and Internet penetration have not been sufficiently tested, especially on cross-country data. Using a dataset involving 48 regionally grouped African countries and a robust dynamic system GMM model, this study attempts to fill this gap. In carrying out this study, we adopted an empirical strategy that allowed us to estimate the specific and complementary impacts of mobile phone, Internet, and rural electricity on food security, from panel and regional comparative perspectives. The findings indicate that: the incremental and intra-temporal effects in food security situation linger awhile; the promotional effects of ICT development on food security are more induced by mobile phone development than by Internet development; mobile phone and Internet have a robust and stable synergistic effect on food security; contrary to expectations, there is no complementarity between ICT protocols and rural electricity, with the impact of the latter on food security being more distortive than promotional; and that the promotional benefits of ICT protocols on food security are dependent on a country’s capacity to resolve inherent deficiencies in rural electricity energy supply, climate conditions and credit challenges. Policy-wise, the findings confirm how the convergence and complementarity between mobile phone and Internet connectivity can conditionally be enhanced in the case of Africa; and how such convergence can potentially facilitate the catch-up between the lagging Internet access and the booming mobile phone subscription and to enhance the quality, quantity and relevance of the information contents of the ICT protocols.
