Abstract

This paper studies the nonlinear impact of renewable energy on CO2 emissions with a panel of 30 Chinese provinces over the period 1990–2016. The Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimator is applied for estimation, allowing for both long-run effects and short-run heterogeneity across provinces. The results reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between renewable energy and CO2 emissions.
