摘要
本文以歐盟所編製的世界投入產出表為基礎,建構一多國投入產出模型,再搭配能源、社會經濟資料,以估計各國最終消費中的再生能源含量;接著,本文進一步利用追蹤資料因果檢定模型檢驗再生能源消費與經濟成長間的關聯性。在進行因果檢定時,再生能源的使用區分為生產面的使用與消費面的含量,生產面的使用係指產業在生產活動中對再生能源的衍伸需求,需求面的再生能源含量係指在多國多階段價值鏈的概念下,一國最終消費中隱含的再生能源量。本文的實證結果發現,針對本文所涵蓋的國家及地區而言,先進國家生產過程使用的非再生性能源或再生能源,與經濟成長之間不存在因果關係,但若改以消費面的角度來看最終需要中的非再生性能源及再生能源含量,非再生性能源與經濟成長間存在雙向因果關係,亦即非再生性能源的含量增加會刺激經濟成長,經濟成長也會增加對非再生性能源的消費;此外,經濟成長會增加再生能源的消費。這樣的結果間接支持環境顧志耐曲線理論,當經濟成長到達一定階段後,環保意識的提升會增加對低汙染能源的需求,進而降低環境的汙染。

This study constructs a multi-country input-output model based on the 1995-2009 World Input-Output Tables compiled by the European Union, together with energy account data, to estimate the renewable energy embodied in the final demand of all 40 countries or areas in the tables. These estimates together with other socio-economic accounts are then used to estimate a panel data causality model to test the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth. For renewable energy consumption, two estimates are used in the estimation of the panel data model. The first estimate is the direct renewable energy inputs for domestic industrial production. The second estimate is the embodied renewable energy in the final demand of a specific country. Our estimation results and the causality analysis from the panel data model indicate that, for developed countries, both the non-renewable and renewable energy inputs associated with domestic production do not exhibit causal relationship with economic growth. However, non-renewable energy embodied in final demand does have a two-way causal relationship with economic growth. Furthermore, economic growth will push up developed countries’ demand for renewable energy directly and indirectly. These results partially support the argument of environmental Kuznets curve theory that, environmental consciousness will grow following economic development up to a point to increase the demand for low-pollution energy and, eventually, improve the quality of the environment.
