*3.1. Data and Sources*

The data set used corresponded to annual data between 2000 and 2017 from 24 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The data collected originated from two sources: The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). We collected the CO2 emissions from the generation of electricity from the IEA, while GDP, installed capacity and generation of electricity were collected from the EIA.
