This paper raises significant methodological concerns, including an unjustified reliance on MMQR without robustness checks and a potentially flawed energy poverty index calculation. Additionally, inconsistencies in the reported impact of economic growth, green finance, and technological innovation—particularly the unusually strong effects—warrant further scrutiny. I invite the authors to address these issues to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their findings.
The findings suggest that economic growth increases energy poverty, which contrasts with conventional theories linking development to improved energy access. Could the authors elaborate on potential mechanisms behind this relationship and whether factors like income inequality or inefficient energy distribution play a role?
