Abstract
Over the past, all the big economies across the world are focusing on attainment of objectives of COP27 and COP28 and USA is forefront among them. Therefore, present study aims to unraveling the role of renewable energy, energy innovation, climate change and green financial development in mapping and shaping the energy transition system in the USA. In view of this, study utilizes annual data of said constructs from 2008 to 2022 and estimates through Dynamic Autoregressive Distributed Lag simulations (DARDLS) approach. Results indicate the positve impacts of renewable energy and energy innovation on energy transition and sustainable energy management in both long and short run. Whereas green financial development reflects low positive impact on energy transition in short run and getting stronger in long run. Expectedly, climate change adversely affect the energy transition and increases energy risk for the USA. Policy implications and Government frameworks are suggested to facilitate the renewable energy, energy innovation and green financial development and to mitigate climate change risk in USA.
期刊介绍:
Energy Economics is a field journal that focuses on energy economics and energy finance. It covers various themes including the exploitation, conversion, and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy. The journal welcomes contributions that utilize diverse methods such as experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models. It publishes a combination of papers employing different methods to explore a wide range of topics. The journal's replication policy encourages the submission of replication studies, wherein researchers reproduce and extend the key results of original studies while explaining any differences. Energy Economics is indexed and abstracted in several databases including Environmental Abstracts, Fuel and Energy Abstracts, Social Sciences Citation Index, GEOBASE, Social & Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Economic Literature, INSPEC, and more.
