Abstract

This dissertation includes four core chapters on energy and environmental economic issues. The first chapter tests the causality between the US partisan conflict shock and crude oil return by using a rolling window sub-sample approach. The second chapter focuses on the topic of establishing a gas pricing mechanism independent of oil pricing. The third chapter employs a time-varying model to examine the interaction between geopolitical risks and renewable energy consumption. The fourth chapter examines the convergence of CO2 emissions per capita by utilizing a panel unit root test with sharp and smooth breaks. Policy implications are discussed in the conclusion.
