How government policies affect the export dynamics of renewable energy technologies: A subsectoral analysis

摘要: This study explores the long- and short-term dynamic relationships between government policies exports of renewable energy technologies (RETs) at subsector level (biomass, wind, solar technologies). allows a more robust exploration relationships, in which differences cost structures maturity levels exist for different RETs, without losing generality results. Dynamic panel econometric techniques are employed to analyze using data annual measures 18 countries during 1992–2008. The vector error correction mechanism (VECM) is used test among policies, exports, gross domestic product (GDP) biomass wind technologies, auto-regression (VAR) model, technologies. indicates that each has unique path-dependent process, showing presence positive feedback mechanisms based on interactions technology-push policy, market-pull and/or GDP short long run. We suggest some policy implications results this study.
