“…The empirical results provided a positive governance role in the transition to green electricity, signifying its importance for a sustainable future. Moreover, the literature emphasizes that solid governmental institutions and governance mitigate environmental deterioration and smooth the transition to green energy (Du et al, 2023;Zhang, 2023).…”

The transition towards green and clean energy sources is the need of the day and a key target for several economies across the globe. Besides, emerging economies also aim to minimize fossil fuel dependence, promoting the adoption of green electricity. However, several obstacles, including governance, corruption and economic-related issues, are forthcoming in attaining sustainability in the context of green energy. This research examines seven emerging economies from 1990 to 2020. The study uses novel panel diagnostic assessment approaches, which validate the slope heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence and confirm the cointegration between the study variables. Employing the method of moments quantile regression, this research concludes that corruption and governance quality adversely influence the transition to green electricity. On the other hand, the influence of economic complexity, research and development expenditures and per capita GDP is positive and significant. These results are robust as validated by estimators such as mean group and fully modified ordinary least squares. Furthermore, a twoway Granger causality exists between regressors and green energy transition, which allows this research to offer appropriate policy implications. This study recommends improving institutions, strengthening bureaucracy, enhancing accountability and investing in research and development, green technologies and human capital to encourage green energy transition.

“…The positive effects of sound environmental governance will curb consumption-based carbon emissions in BRICS countries, improve energy use, and reduce energy consumption [114]. Among governance indicators, the rule of law and the quality of regulation have a positive influence on energy transition [15].…”

“…Furthermore, scholars have found that political stability [15], exchange rates [78], robust democracy [10], education levels [40,86], geopolitical risks [78], and long-term strategies [64] also have certain impacts on energy transition. As discovered in [13], energy transition is influenced by a variety of factors, both positive and negative.…”

“…From a global perspective, the global economy is predominantly powered by fossil fuels, with energy being the most critical sector and factor influencing economic development [13,14]. Global energy-related industries account for 68% of carbon emissions, with 44% stemming from non-renewable sources [15]. Regionally, the ASEAN region stands as the largest energy consumer globally, representing 44% of global consumption and serving as a significant pillar for global economic development [15].…”

Recently, as more countries and regions have embarked on the path of energy transition, the speed and manner of economic development have been influenced in varying degrees. However, the relationship between energy transition and economic development remains unclear, as research conclusions are inconsistent. The aim of this study is to systematically examine the relationship between energy transition and economic development using the literature review approach. This study selected 102 studies from Scopus that explicitly address energy transition and economic development as our final sample for this investigation, aiming to clarify the current research status on factors, barriers, and pathways of energy transition, and discuss related theories about energy transition. The results indicate a significant increase in research volume on this topic over the past four years, with nearly half of the studies focusing on cross-regional countries or economic entities. The sampled literature reveals various relationships between economic development and energy transition, including one-way promotion, one-way inhibition, bidirectional causality, and ineffectiveness. Factors influencing energy transition include technology, financial support, environmental governance, human capital, taxation, rents, and foreign direct investment (FDI). The main obstacles to energy transition lie in the scarcity of environmental resources, path dependence, and uneven development. Based on these research findings, this study discusses prospects and potential directions for future studies.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether governance has an impact on per capita income. The governance-prosperity hypothesis was validated using data from 48 high-income countries. This study examines all governance indicators in sample countries rather than one that addresses specific effects. We find that good governance enhances prosperity, while FDI, exports, and urbanization positively impact effective governance outcomes using homogeneity and heterogeneity panel methodologies. In contrast, household expenditures exhibit a diverse relationship that requires a combination of saving policy and spending to increase per capita income. We found that effective governance attracts foreign direct investment, leading to high exports and urbanization trends. Therefore, countries should strengthen their governance apparatus to reap the benefits of sustainable economic growth.
