The objective of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the linear and non-linear causal linkages between total energy consumption and economic activity, making use of annual time series of Greece for the period 1960-2008. Two are the salient features of our study: first, the total...

The study analyses the structural break impact on the relationship between energy consumption and foreign direct investment in Nigeria from 1970 to 2015. The study accounts for the structural break and estimates the short-run and long-run relationship between energy consumption and foreign...

Our paper examines the triangular relationships between energy consumption, trade openness and economic growth of 45 countries from 1991 to 2014 using dynamic seemingly unrelated regression (DSUR) models. We confirm a bidirectional relationship among energy consumption and income, trade openness...

This study examined the Granger causality of energy consumption, oil price and economic growth in Nigeria. Two sub-categories of energy (kerosene and electricity) were equally considered. The error correction model framework was used to test the granger causality of the variables. The results...

There exists a strong correlation between income growth and energy consumption. In general, their effects are positive (or non-significant) in both directions. However, none of the existing works control properly for double causality. In this vein, energy governance has a remarkable importance...

The purpose of this study was to examine interrelationship and causal linkages between socioeconomic and environmental variables in OECD countries. To aid this study, a LISREL modelling tool was implemented. The findings of the study indicated that gross public debt increases with deterioration...

There has been a lot of debate regarding the impact of emissions of pollutants on human health and the environment. Epidemiological studies tend to show the impact of increased ambient concentrations of pollutants on increased hospital admissions, mortality, morbidity, respiratory problems, etc....
