The lack of security, political dependencies, the formation, and the increase in environmental problems are the main reasons for changing the approach to energy supply from fossil fuels to renewable energies. This alteration requires financial support for the extraction of renewable energies. Foreign direct investment, investment in research and development, and financial market development are among the Financing methods that also impact the consumption of renewable energies. This study aims to assess the impact of these financing methods on the consumption of renewable energies across 26 developing countries during the period from 2008 to 2019. Findings from panel model estimations indicate that foreign direct investment and investment in research and development have a positive and significant effect on the consumption of renewable energy, while the development of financial markets does not have a significant effect on the consumption of renewable energies. Based on the results, since the defined methods of financing do not have an adverse effect on renewable energy consumption, it is recommended that the government, to guarantee the indicators of the nation's welfare, including environmental quality, put the laws covering these financing methods in the main plan and support

Today, there are two different perspectives on the long-term effects of international trade on countries' economies in terms of environmental perspective. One view claims that countries are deregulating their country to promote free trade, which reduces their environmental standards and, ultimately, the decline of the international environment. Another view believes that free trade through optimal allocation of resources allows countries to specialize in the production of goods and services in which they have a relative advantage, and hence, improve energy intensity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of international trade and foreign direct investment on carbon dioxide emissions in D8 countries with the panel data approach. This study uses data from 1993 to 2018 from the World Bank. The results show that the coefficient related to the GDP variable is positive and for the GDP square grade is negative, which confirms the Kuznets environmental hypothesis in the studied countries. Foreign direct investment has no significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. Also, the results show that exports and imports of goods and services have a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions that is consistent with conventional theories as well as research background. Energy intensity and proportion of urban population have also had a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions.

Energy intensity is an important indicator of energy consumption assessment and its reduction is one of the goals of policymakers and planners in countries. Developing effective policies to reduce energy intensity requires a thorough study of the factors that affect it. In this study, the effect of foreign direct investment on energy intensity convergence by Iranian provinces using spatial econometric technique and panel data of 30 provinces of the country from 2010 to 2015 was studied. After confirming the spatial dependence by Moran and Panel (robust) LM and LM tests, the absolute and conditional convergence of "β" has been tested. According to the results, the absolute convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of Iran was confirmed. This means that the rate of decrease in energy intensity in provinces with higher energy intensity is higher than the rate of decrease in energy intensity in provinces with lower energy intensity. To investigate the conditional convergence, the foreign direct investment variable was added to the model. The results indicate a conditional convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of Iran, as well as a decrease in energy intensity with an increase in foreign direct investment. In fact, foreign direct investment with the introduction of new production technology increases the efficiency of the use of production inputs such as energy, and this leads to the convergence of energy intensity among the provinces of Iran. The effects of the spillovers of foreign direct investment on the convergence of negative and meaningless energy intensity can be attributed to the low level of foreign direct investment attraction and its non-distribution at the provincial level. In general, the increase in foreign direct investment in a particular province causes the convergence of energy intensity and its spillovers effect potentially causes the convergence of energy intensity in the provinces of the country.

The formulation of effective energy efficiency (reducing the energy intensity) policies requires study of the factors affecting energy intensity. The final consumption of energy in the manufacturing sector of Iran has grown significantly in recent years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the energy intensity in the manufacturing industries of Iran, especially the effect of government expenditures and foreign direct investment on the energy intensity in these industries and controlling the spillover effects between provinces using provincial panel data of Iran from 2000 to 2014. Based on Panel (Robust) LM, Wald and LR tests, Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) has been used to investigate the spillover impact effects of energy intensity. According to the results, energy prices, private ownership and government capital expenditures have a negative effect on energy intensity, while export-value added and capital-labor ratios have a positive impact on energy intensity. Foreign direct investment also did not have a significant effect on energy intensity. These results call for greater attention to the adoption of higher production technologies in investment and the role of the government in energy intensity changes. The results indicate possibility of using neighboring enrichment policies to increase energy efficiency.
