Abstract:
This investigation approaches the effects of financial openness on renewable energy investments. With the purpose of the realisation this study, the installed capacity of renewable energy was used as proxy o renewable energy investments, and ten Latin American countries from 1980 to 2014 were utilised. The empirical results indicated that the per capita economic growth in the short-run has a positive impact on the installed capacity of renewable energy, while the variable financial openness and general government capital stock per capita in the long-run exerts a positive effect. The PVAR model pointed out to a positive impact of per capita economic growth, financial openness, and general government capital stock per capita in the short-run. The Panel Granger causality Wald test revealed the existence of bi-directional causality between the variables of the model.
