Abstract
One of the strategic objectives of China is to increase renewable
energy consumption by reducing non-renewable energy consumption. This motivates us to carefully investigate the asymmetric
effects of financial deepening on renewable and non-renewable
energy consumption for China, using annual data from 1990 to
2019. The results show that in China, a positive shock in bank
deposits and broad money has a significant increasing effect on
renewable energy consumption, while a negative shock in bank
deposits and broad money has also a significant increasing effect
on renewable energy consumption in the long-run. Moreover, positive change in bank deposits and broad money has an inverse
impact on non-renewable energy consumption, while negative
change has stimulating non-renewable energy consumption in long
run. Thus, government and policymaker’s policies aimed at promoting financial deepening in China must be persistent and sustainable
to foster renewable energy consumption.
