Renewable Energy, Agriculture and CO2 Emissions: Empirical Evidence From the Middle-Income Countries

This study explores the effect of renewable energy and agriculture on CO 2 emissions in a sample 94 middle-income countries for years 2000–2015. Using two-step generalized method moments (GMM) regression, we find there is negative relationship between production, value added per capita CO2 emissions. If causal, 1% increase electricity output leads to 0.18% decrease Our results remain robust when include additional control variables. suggests that policy tools such as subsidies or low interest loans can be used promote consumption countries.
