ECONOMIC GROWTH BETWEEN INSTITUTIONAL QUALITY AND ENERGY TRANSITION: CASE OF MENA COUNTRIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper examines the energy transition in MENA region countries, with a focus on the crucial role of institutional quality and its impact on economic growth. It explores the interaction between institutional quality, energy transition initiatives, and economic growth, seeking to understand how institutional quality can facilitate a successful transition. The empirical analysis highlights institutional factors that can either facilitate or hinder the energy transition, as well as its influence on economic growth, using a simultaneous equations model. The findings of this research provide valuable insights for policymakers and economic actors, emphasizing the crucial importance of robust institutions in the energy transition process to stimulate economic growth in the MENA region during the specified period (1990-2020).
