Note(s): The regressand series are the ‘Global’, ‘Europe’, ‘US’, Asia’, ‘Solar’ and ‘Wind’ clean energy indices, respectively. ARCH is the test for conditional heteroscedasticity conducted with ten (10) lags. The null hypotheses for persistence, ARCH and endogeneity tests are “no persistence”, “no ARCH effects” and “no endogeneity bias” respectively. “**” and ”***” indicates statistical significance at the 5% and 1% significance levels. Values in “()” are standard errors while those in “[]” are probability values
