Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of renewable energy on economic growth in Croatia for the period 1996-2018. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) technique is used to find the long run relationships between renewable energy, energy consumption and economic growth. The empirical analysis indicates that renewable energy has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in the short and long run. These findings indicate that the Croatian government can continue to boost renewable energy investment without impeding economic growth.
