The role of financial institutions in the green energy transition: International Panel Study 1960 - 2017

Detecting the impact and role of financial institutions in each country/region on their renewable or green energy transition is the main research objective of this paper. For this purpose, the study uses a global sample of 214 countries/regions for the period 1960 to 2017. The list of selected countries/regions can be found in Appendix Table A1. The data availability of the global sample results that this is an unbalanced panel dataset. In addition, we categorize the 214 country/region sample into three groups according to the World Bank’s country income level classification, namely high-income countries/regions, upper-middle income countries/regions, and low and lower-middle income countries/regions.
