英文摘要	The motivation of the present study is to evaluate the effect of wind and solar energy production and eco-nomic development on environmental quality in 43 countries covering the period of 1990-2017. The study uses annual data for real GDP, real trade, energy intensity, urbanization, foreign direct investment, ecological footprints, and wind and solar energy production. For econometric analysis, common corre-lated mean group (CCE-MG), cross-section-distributive lag (CS-DL), and cross-section autoregressive-distributive lag (CS-ARDL) approaches are employed. The outcomes show that real GDP has a significantly positive influence on ecological footprint. At the same time, wind and solar energy negatively and signif-icantly influence ecological footprint. It is argued that a 1 % increase in wind and solar energy reduces ecological footprint by 3.1 % and 2.9 %, respectively. For policy recommendations, the study recom-mended that wind and solar energy resources may become more noticeable for electricity purposes despite rising investments in these energy resources. Indeed, the share of wind and solar energy produc-tion is limited and dominated by non-renewable energy resources, so low-carbon energy resources might be encouraged.
