Time series of electricity, petroleum products, and renewables are found to be highly correlated with total energy … consumption. Applying this insight to the huge literature on energy-GDP causality explains that the results of total energy …-GDP causality tests frequently coincide with the results of energy type-GDP tests. Using the test by Toda–Yamamoto in combination …
