Employment impacts of renewable energy policies in China: A decomposition analysis based on a CGE modeling framework (2018, methodology): “Perhaps the largest induced e ﬀ ect is the replacement of conventional electric power plants [11], which results from a change in the relative price of conventional electricity and renewable electricity [6,7,10].”
Renewable Energy Development as a Driver of Economic Growth: Evidence from Multivariate Panel Data Analysis (2019, background): “Renewable energy deployment can also help to create jobs [15] and foster the development of small-scale industries in the rural areas of developing countries [16].”
Assessing employment in renewable energy technologies: A case study for wind power in Brazil (2014, background): “[20–22], studies don’t usually take into account job losses in other energy industries or due to high investments costs of RET.”
Job creation during a climate compliant global energy transition across the power, heat, transport, and desalination sectors by 2050 (2022, result): “A similar conclusion was drawn by Cai et al. [47] that for every one percent increase in the share of solar PV generation there could be a 0.68 % increase in total employment in China, larger than any other power generation technology.”
