Dear All,
The Surrey-Sussex seminar series is back for the Spring 2024 round.
We will kick-off things with a hybrid session in which Dr. Mona Bahl (Illinois State)will present the paper titled “Efficiencies as Drivers of Renewable Energy Projects
in Emerging Economies: Does Foreign Participation Help?”.
Abstract:
We study the drivers of cost efficiencies of renewable energy projects in emerging economies. Using Resource Based View, we argue that state ownership will reduce project cost but
private ownership, both domestic and foreign, will increase project cost in emerging economies. State ownership accords access to strategic resources and budgetary support that enable higher economies of scale and results in cost efficiencies in completing
renewable energy projects. Privately owned firms experience greater costs due to high levels of competition in factor and product markets as also lower economies of scale and thus incur greater costs of completing renewable energy projects. Using the corporate
governance perspective, we further argue that foreign institutional investments (FII) enable monitoring and oversight that weaken the cost efficiencies of state-owned projects and cost inefficiencies privately owned projects. We use data from 1864 completed
renewable energy projects from 1200 firms in India to test our hypotheses. The results support our hypotheses.
