The role of institutional quality in solar energy development: The case of Southeast Asia

This paper investigates the role of institutional quality (IQ) in the development of solar energy in Southeast Asia, using a panel data analysis of 11 countries from 2000 to 2022. Controlling for variables such as GDP, FDI, population, and access to electricity (ATE), the study identifies institutio...
