Bridging the Gap: Do Fast Reacting Fossil Technologies Facilitate Renewable Energy Diffusion? (2016, unknown): “They show that coal, oil and gas contribution to electricity generation is negatively associated with renewable growth (see also Pfeiffer and Mulder, 2013).”
Determinants of renewable energy growth in Sub-Saharan Africa: Evidence from panel ARDL (2018, background): “This view is shared by Pfeiffer & Mulder (2013) who suggested that growth of electricity consumption appears to delay RE diffusion.”
Financial Development and Deployment of Renewable Energy Technologies (2016, background): “1 Following the seminar work of Pfeiffer and Mulder (2013), we focus on non-hydro renewable energy technologies because hydropower projects are often associated with serious negative environmental externalities, and have thus been regarded as unsustainable in recent years.”
Does clean energy contribute to economic growth? Evidence from Nigeria (2015, methodology): “Evidence from Nigeria, Energy Reports, ISSN 2352-4847, Elsevier, Amsterdam, Vol. 1, pp. 145-150, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2015.06.001 This Version is available at: http://hdl.handle.net/10419/187823 Standard-Nutzungsbedingungen: Die Dokumente auf EconStor dürfen zu eigenen wissenschaftlichen”
Feasible mitigation actions in developing countries (2014, background): “Today, RE accounts for only about 11% of energy use in developing countries of which 161 the largest share is traditional biomass and hydro power.(36) While the potential for RE is usually seen 162 to be large, it is often still more expensive than fossil fuels(33,37), particularly when taking into ”
Public opinion and environmental policy output: a cross-national analysis of energy policies in Europe (2017, background): “One of the most significant environmental problems of our time is climate change, and climate change is strongly related to countries’ energy policies (e.g. Pfeiffer and Mulder 2013, Schaffer and Bernauer 2014).”
The threat to climate change mitigation posed by the abundance of fossil fuels (2018, background): “Pfeiffer and Mulder (2013) investigated the diffusion of NHRES technologies for electricity generation across 108 developing countries in the period 1980–2010, and they Figure 1.”
How do policies mobilize private finance for renewable energy?—A systematic review with an investor perspective (2019, background): “Interestingly, Pfeiffer and Mulder [91] found some effectiveness for CO2 pricing mechanisms in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS).”
