Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examines the relationship among foreign direct investment, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth for seven Middle East and North Africa countries over the period 1980–2017 using the bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag test. The long run analysis reveals evidence of cointegraion among FDI inflows, renewable energy consumption, and economic growth in all countries except Iran and Turkey, where real GDP is used as the dependent variable. A similar result is observed in economies, with the exception of Mauritania when FDI inflow is treated as a dependent variable. Whereas, when RE is taken as a dependent variable, cointegration does occur in Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, and Tunisia. In regards to the direction of causality, the analysis provides varied results among diverse variable for various countries. In this context, this study recommends increasing public awareness and attention in the advantages of renewable energy and clean technologies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
