The aim of this article was to assess the empirical evidence of the nexus between GDP and energy consumption for Italy during the period 1970–2009, using a time series approach. After a brief introduction, a survey of the economic literature on this issue is shown, before discussing the data...

The aim of this article is to assess the empirical evidence of the nexus between aggregate income and energy consumption for Italy during the period 1970-2009, using a time-series approach. After a brief introduction, a survey of the economic literature on this issue is shown, before discussing...

This study examines the renewable energy consumption-economic growth nexus in Italy over the period 1970–2007. Results of unit root tests show that all variables are non-stationary in their level form, but stationary in first differences. Cointegration analysis reveals that a single long-run...

PurposeThis study aims to explore the relationship among energy consumption, real income, financial development and oil prices in Italy over the period 1960-2014.Design/methodology/approachDifferent econometric techniques – such as the General Methods of Moment (GMM) or the AutoRegressive...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship among economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions, and energy use for 19 APEC countries over the 1960–2013 years. Using a panel VAR technique, a three-variable VAR is estimated. Empirical findings illustrate that no causal relationship emerges...

Most nations are predominately preoccupied with the need to increase economic growth amidst pressure for increased energy consumption. However, higher energy consumption from fossil fuel has its environmental implication(s) especially in a high industrial economy like China. In this context, the...

This study examines the relationship between CO2 emissions, energy consumption and economic growth in Italy over the period 1970-2006. Results of unit root tests show that all variables are non-stationary in their level form, but stationary in first differences form. The causal relationship...

The article explores the nexus between carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth, and energy use for 10 Middle East countries over the period 1971–2006. We use a panel VAR technique for the empirical analysis. The three-variable VAR estimate shows that for the six GCC countries the response of...

The paper analyses the relationship among real gross domestic product (GDP), CO2 emissions and energy use in South Caucasus countries and Turkey over the 1992-2013 years. Results of unit root tests show that all variables are integrated of order one. In general, cointegration tests with breaks...
