Does trade protection affect global PV trade patterns?

The global PV trade patterns Empirical studies predict that a shock that hits anywhere would be transmitted throughout the trade network ( Prusa, 1997 ). Accordingly, the impact of trade protection on Chinese PV export will inevitably transmit to global PV trade patterns.

Where do PV trade data come from?

The PV trade data are from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN Comtrade). The rest of the data, such as control variables, are from the World Bank database (World Bank). Table 3. Descriptive statistics. Photovoltaic (PV) trade data for 2000–2020 are from the United Nations Commodity Trade Statistics Database (UN Comtrade).

Why is photovoltaic energy important?

As an indispensable and typical component of renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) has received wide attention since it can promote the extensive utilization of solar energy with lower costs and easier installations, reduce carbon emissions (Liu et al. 2019), and boost economic growth (Hajdukiewicz and Pera 2020).

Are photovoltaics the new driving force for development?

As resource shortages and environmental problems keep coming up, economies urgently need renewable energies as the new driving force for development. As one of the representatives of renewable energy, the photovoltaic (PV)’s trade has received much attention from all walks of life.

When is PV trade more possible?

PV trade is more possible when economy-pairs are WTO members, located on the same continent, or with asymmetrical urbanization rates, industrialization rates, technological level or environmental supervision strength.

What is a photovoltaic component manufacturing capacity map?

The U.S. Photovoltaic Component Manufacturing Capacity map includes any active manufacturing site in the U.S. and their nameplate capacity, or the full amount of potential output at an existing facility, as of January 31, 2022. This does not imply that these facilities produced the amount listed.
