RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRIES WITH CS-ARDL MODELING

Abstract BackgroundThe energy – environment – growth nexus has been examined for the Southeast Asian countries mainly using time series data. Few studies have been conducted using panel data. The roles of renewable energy and population have largely been ignored in previous studies. As such, this study is conducted to investigate a dynamic causal link between renewable energy usage, population, carbon emissions, and economic growth. Unlike previous panel data studies for the ASEAN region, a relatively new and advanced panel vector autoregressive model and the Granger non-causality test for heterogeneous panels are utilized using a sample of seven ASEAN countries for almost three decades since 1990.ResultsKey findings from this paper are as follows. First, energy consumption does lead to CO2 emissions - a 1 per cent increase in energy consumption will lead to an increase of about 0.34 per cent CO2 emissions which is lower than previously reported. Second, renewable energy usage explains a substantial proportion of the change in economic growth and energy consumption. Renewable energy also responds to population. Third, a bidirectional Granger causality between renewable energy, carbon emissions and population.ConclusionsWe argue that moderating population growth and extending renewable energy usage are important to achieve sustainable economic development in the ASEAN region.

This research aims to know and analyze determine of corruption and the human development index to economic growth in Southeast Asian countries. This research use panel least square and Fixed Effect Model. The estimation result should that corruption has a possitive and significant effect on economic growth in Southeast Asian countries and the human development Index has a possitive and significant effect on economic growth in Southeast Asian countries. From the result of this research, to increase economic growth, the government in SoutheastAsian countries must strengthen the bureaucratic and legal institutions of a country,increase the role of the government or related agencies in monitoring and crackingdown on corruption that results in lossof government productivity and allocating resources appropriately so that the creation of peace and prosperity among the countries in Southeast Asian.

Fossil fuel consumption for electricity generation in the building sector is at an all-time high in line with the country’s economic growth. This scenario will increase the global CO2 emissions and large carbon footprints, thus leading to global warming. In recent years, most of the research related to the building sector has focused on the development of new techniques to reduce buildings’ energy consumption through energy conservation, energy efficiency, and the implementation of renewable energy technologies. The introduction of photovoltaic (PV) technology has become the most prominent renewable energy (RE) that can be integrated into building components. Even though the Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) has been available for decades, but its implementation in Southeast Asian countries has not gained widespread acceptance compared to European countries and other parts of Asia. This paper aims to investigate the effects and challenges of BIPV implementation in Southeast Asian Countries (Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines), focusing on climate effects, the initial cost of PV technology, government policies, and initiatives. An in-depth literature review from past research, policies, and reports taken between 2016 to 2021 has been conducted and found that the environmental parameters directly influence the performance of BIPV systems and affect efficiency. This study pointed at Feed-in Tariff (FiT), policies and initiatives offered by the government in Southeast Asian countries are not beneficial and discourage building owners to adopt the BIPV technology or any other RE technology. Governments should revise the current policies to promote and attract more building owners to take part in the efforts to minimize CO2 emissions from the building industry.

The mismatch between jobs and skills indicates the match model in the job market is not going well, which is referred to as (e.g.) labor match, which leads to overeducation and undereducation in the job market. This research was conducted to find the influence of growth, overeducation and undereducation on wages in Southeast Asia. The data used is secondary data sourced from https://ilostat.ilo.org/data/ data in 2010-2019, especially in 8 Southeast Asian countries consisting of Brunai Darusalam, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, Timor Leste and Vietnam. The results found that the workers with the highest undereducated levels were in Timor Laste, then Laos and Cambodia. Worker conditions in developing countries such as Southeast Asia have more undereducation conditions than overeducation. Economic growth, overeducation and undereducatio affect workers' wages.

Summary Tourism is a potential sector that can contribute positively to economic growth if properly managed. The southeast Asian countries have identified tourism as a key sector that can enable them to achieve sustainable economic growth. This study analysed the economic contribution of tourism in five southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam). The paper aims to evaluate economic contribution of tourism in South Asiancountries by using secondary data covering 2008-2017 collected from world travel and tourism council database to draw insights about the subject. Descriptive statistics in form of tables, charts, mean and standard deviation were used for comparative analyses. Overall score indicated that Thailand is the best performer with respect to the economic contribution of tourism among the sample southeast Asian countries during the period 2008-2017. The study proposed six recommendations to managers and policymakers in the tourism sectors in Southeast Asia.
