Abstract

This research investigates how green taxes influence the importation of sustainable energy across 20 developing economies from 2005 to 2021, using the advanced CUP-FM technique. The study finds that a negative coefficient (−0.238) linked with green taxes acts as an incentive for adopting sustainable energy, leading to reduced imports of conventional energy components. Conversely, a positive coefficient (0.195) associated with the official exchange rate encourages the importation of green energy. Factors such as innovation, measured through patent applications (0.089), and domestic commitments to renewables, indicated by renewable energy consumption (0.159), significantly drive the importation of green energy. The study also highlights the challenges faced by countries with higher poverty levels, reflected in the negative coefficient for the poverty ratio (−0.120). To effectively promote sustainable energy, a comprehensive strategy is necessary, encompassing efficient implementation of green taxes, promotion of green finance, establishment of regional agreements, and incentivization of private investment.

期刊介绍： Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
