Achieving environmental sustainability and economic growth demands higher carbon productivity. While much literature discusses the impact of renewable energy scale penetration on productivity, specific effects internal structure sources are not well understood. This study explores influence productivity in 35 selected OECD countries. The main results as follows: (1) gradual diversification mix has a U-shaped relationship with Almost half countries have passed turning point. "U-shape" relation exists across all quantiles little variation inflection points. (2) impacts through non-linear structural effects, linear technology effects. (3) growing differentiation among negative this adverse effect is more significant levels. These findings provide valuable insights for to optimize promoting They emphasize importance considering formulating development policies. Specifically, due between at different levels can adopt distinct strategies.

The aim of this study is to empirically examine the relationship between renewable energy consumption and ecological footprint (EF), using Denmark as a case study, based on data covering period from 1990 2020. In examining relationship, roles agricultural, forestry, fisheries value-added; economic growth; financial development are also explored. analysis, conducted fractional frequency Fourier approaches, considers presence structural breaks. results reveal negative EF, while positive found with EF. According causality unidirectional detected These findings highlight potential impact EF emphasize importance integrating green investments fuel usage into strategies aimed at reducing
