Following the most followed time series econometric methodology of ARDL and Granger causality, this paper will explore the relationships among the important energy market variables for Pakistan being a major importer of oil and energy products. It is expected that controlling for imports of oil...

This paper examines the causality linkages between economic growth, renewable energy consumption, CO2 emissions and domestic investment in Tunisia between 1971 and 2010. Using the ARDL bounds testing approach to cointegration, long-run relationships between the variables are identified. On the...
