Energy RESEARCH LETTERS, 2021, vol. 2, issue 1, 1-5

Abstract: This study examines the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on renewable energy (RE) growth for 20 countries using data for the 2000 to 2018 period. Our findings indicate that EPU has an insignificant negative effect on RE growth. The results from the causality analysis indicate no evidence of causality between EPU and RE growth.
