co2_emissions_per_capita_energy CO2 Emissions Per Capita from Energy

Carbon dioxide emissions from energy use per capita measured in metric tonnes per year

carbon emissions per personenergy carbon footprint

Findings

Electricity access is positively associated with GDP per capita growth through increased labor force participation and firm productivity

Direction: positive Confidence: strong Method: instrumental variable regression

Higher renewable energy share is negatively associated with CO2 emissions per capita controlling for GDP and industrialization levels

Direction: negative Confidence: strong Method: panel regression with fixed effects

Energy intensity of GDP decreases with economic development following an inverted-U pattern consistent with structural transformation theory

Direction: negative Confidence: moderate Method: cross-country panel analysis

Domain: Energy Access and Economic Development

How electricity access and clean energy transitions affect economic growth health outcomes and human capital formation

Temporal scope: 1990-present | Population: Countries worldwide

Key Findings

  • Electricity access is positively associated with GDP per capita growth through increased labor force participation and firm productivity (positive, strong)
  • Higher renewable energy share is negatively associated with CO2 emissions per capita controlling for GDP and industrialization levels (negative, strong)
  • Energy intensity of GDP decreases with economic development following an inverted-U pattern consistent with structural transformation theory (negative, moderate)
