Assessment of the relationship between renewable energy and employment of the United States of America: Empirical evidence from spectral Granger causality.

In this study, the spectral Granger causality nexus between renewable energy generation and employment for the period February 1973-September 2019 in the USA is examined. The results obtained from the study expresses that there is no spectral Granger causality relationship between renewable energy generation and employment for aforementioned period in the USA. Furthermore, these findings support neutrality hypothesis, which means that there is no causality relation between the variables. In other words, renewable energy generation does not influence employment and employment does not have an effect on renewable energy generation.
