摘要
本文評估在電力系統中核能與再生能源如何影響經濟成長與環境。使用廣義動差法(GMM)估計 世界銀行界定高所得與經濟合作暨發展組織(OECD) 29個經濟體1990到2012年每人所得與碳排放資 料。結果顯示電力中非水利再生能源對經濟與環境的效果有閾值,佔18.66%以下時可以增進經濟成 長同時降低碳排放。核能佔比增加可以降低碳排放且沒有閾值。高所得與OECD國家在控制產業結 構下,每人二氧化碳排放量與所得具有倒U型的關係,即具有環境顧志耐曲線(EKC)。此結果表示 提高所得帶來的環境改善是因為對環境品質的需求提高。

This paper is to investigate how the nuclear and renewable power affects economic growth and the environment. Our samples focus on high income and OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) economies, and totally 29 countries from 1990 to 2012. We use the difference generalized method of moments (GMM) to estimate the effects of nuclear and renewable power on economic growth and CO2 emissions. The results provide us a threshold percentage, 18.66%, on the effect of renewable energy, that is, below 18.66% of non-hydro renewable energy used to supply electricity, an increase on using renewable energy can increase economic growth and can reduce CO2 emissions. Nuclear power can reduce CO2 emissions without threshold. The environmental Kuznets curves (EKCs) of CO2 existing in high income and OECD economies are subject to the same industrial structure. That means that higher incomes may result in a higher demand on environmental quality and the adoption of stricter environmental and/or energy policies.
