Renewable energy , employment effects , input output , crowding out
Abstract:
For the case of the German state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, production and
employment effects of the promotion of renewable energy sources are examined based
on a regionalized input-output table. Our findings suggest that policy actions promoting
renewable energy types do not necessarily create new jobs and additional turnover
for the whole economy. They rather induce a structural change of the economy since
other investments might be crowded out by investments in installations of renewable
energy and the demand in other sectors might decrease. However, if the producers of
the installations are able to export parts of their products to the rest of Germany
and/or the rest of the world, these crowding out effects can be attenuated and turnover
and employment effects might be positive for the state in total.
