The present study investigates the energy, environment and growth nexus for a panel of South Asian countries including Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The simultaneous analysis of real GDP, energy consumption and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions is conducted for the period 1980–2010. Levin...</subscript>

The present study investigates the impact of energy consumption on real GDP, capital stock, and labor force using annual data for the period of 1971-2012. For empirical analysis, it employs the Structural Vector Auto-regression (SVAR) framework. The results reveal that economic growth increases...

South Asiahosts the highest number of poor people yet it continues to attach priority to its defence spendings. The present study investigates the relationship between defence spendings, health care expenditures, research, and economic growth of 5 South Asian countries including Bangladesh,...

Impulse responses of our structural VAR portray a positive correlation between the real GDP of Romania and energy consumption. The present study employs the annual data covering the period 1980-2008, and brings to light the factors playing important role in satisfying the energy requirements,...

The present study reveals the impact of electricity production on economic growth in Pakistan. It covers the period of 1975–2010, and assumes a log-linear relationship between the variables. The bounds test for cointegration indicates a unique long-run relationship between the variables....

The present study investigates the relationship between energy (renewable and nonrenewable) consumption and economic growth using Cobb–Douglas production function in case of Pakistan over the period of 1972–2011. We have used the ARDL bounds testing and Gregory and Hansen (1990) structural...

The agricultural sector provides the majority of employment in Pakistan, especially among the poorest segments of the population. Energy provision affects production and livelihoods, especially with the advance of mechanization in agriculture.Changes in gas and electricity prices affect the...

The study empirically explores the relationships among energy use, economic growth and financial development for India and China on annual data for 1971 -2011. Using Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration model, it suggests that energy consumption is positively...

A rise in real GDP crafts higher energy demand in Pakistan. This short-term rising energy requirement is fulfilled with the help of nonrenewable and renewable energy consumption. The rise in nonrenewable energy consumption lifts real GDP up in short-run. Forecast error variance decomposition...

Present study reveals the impact of electricity production on economic growth in Pakistan. It covers the period of 1975-2010 and assumes a log-linear relationship between the variables. Both the bounds test and Johansen test for cointegration indicate a unique long-run relationship between the...
