| Summary: | This book explores the potential for renewable energy development and the adoption of sustainable production processes in Latin America and the Caribbean. By examining the energy transition process, the impact of environmental degradation, and the relationship between renewable energy sources and economic growth, the effects of increased globalisation and liberalisation in this part of the world are analysed. Particular attention is given to renewable energy investment, the energy-economics growth nexus, the impact of trade openness, and the mitigation of carbon emissions. This book aims to highlight econometric techniques that can be used to tackle issues relating to globalisation, the energy transition, and environmental degradation. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in energy and environmental economics. Matheus Koengkan holds a PhD in economics from the University of Evora. He is an energy and environmental economics researcher at the Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT), University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal. Jose Alberto Fuinhas, PhD in economics, is a professor of monetary economics and intermediate econometrics at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal. In addition, he is a researcher of macroeconomics, energy economics, and environmental economics at the CeBER - Centre for Business and Economics Research. |
