title = "Drivers and Barriers for Renewable Energy Investments in Emerging Countries – the Case of Wind Energy in China, India and Brazil",
abstract = "Developing and emerging countries are gaining importance on the renewable energy stage due to their growth prospects in several areas and a strong investment increase in the recent past. This paper is dedicated to investigating the drivers and barriers to investments in renewable energies in developing countries. It explores these by using a unique dataset of institutional investors comparing wind energy investments in India, China and Brazil (as representatives of the BRICS countries) by means of a case study. Factors affecting the investments of large institutional investors include the legal framework (including policies), the institutional environment (including infrastructure), overarching macro-economic stability (including currency risk) and growth potential.",
