Renewable Energy and Economic Efficiency in the Framework of Sustainable Development: Malmquist Index and Tobit Model

Today, energy is as important labour, capital and technology for the growth of countries. As countries grow economically, they try to achieve same or more amounts output with fewer inputs. In other words, target efficiency based growth. economic increases, their requirements also increase. Regarding that are not rich in domestic resources, this increase, imposes significant costs. On hand, finite supply resources an problem. That why phenomenon renewable has become a trend all over world. addition reducing import dependence on energy, new policies required reduce effects climate changes protect natural resources. why; attractive research area. study, scores were obtained by calculating Malmquist total factor productivity index period 1992–2018 10 among N11 Then, values using two stage estimation method used dependent variables. The test results Tobit regression indicated increase positively increases efficiency. It can be said will lead future.
