| Title | Modelling Renewable Energy Consumption |
| Summary | This thesis questions whether macro-economic variables impact the consumption of renewable energy. I run a panel regression for 76 countries from 2000 to 2006 controlling for GDP per capita, electricity imports and exports, distribution losses, installation and natural proved reserves. The results show that for a given country electricity imports, grid installation and distribution losses consistently impact the consumption of renewable energy sources. Based on the results, I come with long and short term policies that can be implemented to ensure a sustainable mode of energy consumption. |
