This paper studies the relationship between economic growth (GDP) and energy consumption (EC) by using panel data for 95 countries from 1971 to 2008. The World Bank classification helps us to divide our 95 countries into four income groups of countries: low income group, lower-middle income...

Energy plays a vital role in economic development. It performs a key for sustainable development. Hence, many studies have attempted to look for the direction of causality between energy consumption (EC), economic growth (GDP) and CO2 emissions. This paper, therefore, applies the panel unit root...

Energy plays an important role in economic development worldwide. The increase of energy consumption showed that CO2 emissions in the atmosphere have increased dramatically, and these lead many scientists to push governments of the developing countries to take action for the formulation of...

The research presented in this paper studies the relationship between energy consumption and income for a panel of Asian economies. The Asian economies represent a dynamic, diverse, and interesting set of countries on which to base an examination of these relationships and the tendencies for...

Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Yet, there has been little work on this topic that focuses on countries outside the OECD. We employ a new database of cross-country...

Understanding the income/GDP and price elasticities of energy/electricity demand is important for forecasting demand and evaluation of the potential impact of policies. Recent work on the GDP elasticity of economy-wide electricity demand has suggested that this elasticity is both substantially...

Recently, sustainable economic development has become a global requirement and also has gained the attention of recent studies and policymakers nowadays. Thus, the present study has examined the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) along with renewable energy consumption, energy usage...

This study evaluates the progress of efficient energy use and the control of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Japan between 1990 and 2012. A new indicator of energy performance is presented called environmental energy efficiency (EEE). The EEE of manufacturing industries was measured by each...

We investigated a possible link among the governance practiced by some countries to CO 2 emissions and the use of energy by these countries. To achieve this goal, we selected a sample of data composed of variables from 54 countries, from 2000 to 2008, available at the World Bank website. We used...
