Exploring the Relationship between Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption, Renewable Energy Consumption and Human Capital Index: A Study From Thailand

<p>This study examines the trend in human capital index (HCI) in the economy of Thailand during 1990-2010 while considering the fossil fuel and renewable energy consumption as main independent variables. However, some macroeconomic variables like expenditure side real GDP, output side real GDP...
