TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the energy efficiency performance of a sample of 71 developed and developing countries between 1990 and 2014 and found evidence of a significant positive influence of both green innovation and institutional quality on energy efficiency enhancement having controlled for some variables.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of technological innovation within certain countries on the energy efficiency performance of neighboring countries, using data from the OECD Triadic Patent Families database for 24 innovating countries between the years 1994 and 2013.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the environmental performance of a panel of 104 countries over the period 1980 to 2016 and analyzed absolute and conditional beta convergence and the possibility of clustering based on the club convergence was also analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial effect of institutional quality on energy efficiency in a panel of 99 countries (economies) for the period 1995-2016 was investigated, and the results indicated that institutional quality matters in energy efficiency improvement and being close to countries with good institutional framework has a positive effect on domestic energy efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the energy efficiency performance of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) countries using a newly developed panel data stochastic frontier model that allows for estimation of both persistent and transient efficiency while controlling for random country effects and noise.
