- Abstract
- The rise in renewable energy and the associated divestment initiatives from fossil fuel around the world have become prominent in combating climate change. This paper revisits the relationship between energy and stock markets by accounting for renewable en ergy through the use of the Divisia index method. The paper contributes to the literature by using three renewable energy tariffs rather than relying on clean energy stocks as a proxy for renewable energy. We retrieve data for both the price and consumptio n of fossil energy (oil, coal and gas) and renewable energy (solar, wind and hydro). We estimate a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model over the period 2000 2019 across 25 countries globally. Our study identifies a significant time dependent dynamics between renewable energy and both the energy stock and carbon markets, while fossil energy has no significant influence on those markets. The increasing influence of renewable energy in this nexus signals to policymakers that investors have started to shift their focus of attention from fossil to renewable energy.
