Abstract

Energy security and environmental sustainability have been identified as key economic challenges in recent years. Most countries have shown a strong interest in achieving significant economic development through the development of exports and its diversification, and gradually the share of innovative produced goods and services in total exports surpassed traditional exports. This change in the export pattern may change energy needs because the energy needed to produce new and industrial products (such as spacecraft, electrical equipment, telecommunication equipment, and..) is relatively higher. The exports diversification is a trade indicator and can play a role in encouraging the consumption of renewable energy. in this paper, the impact of diversification export, extensive export margin and intensive export margin as determinants of renewable energies, using the CS-ARDL model in countries with natural resource rents during the period of 2000-2020 has been investigated. The results of the study in the estimation of the first model show that the increase in export diversification has a positive effect on the consumption of clean energy, and the increased export diversification generally increases the consumption of these energies. Also, the estimation results of the second model indicate that the extensive export margin, which emphasizes the export of new products, has a positive and significant effect on the ratio of clean energy consumption, but the intensive export margin, which emphasizes the development of traditional trade, has a negative significant effect It has a ratio of clean energy consumption.
