The relationship and causality direction between electricity consumption and economic growth is an important issue in the fields of energy economics and policies towards energy use. Extensive literatures has discussed the issue, but the array of findings provides anything but consensus on either the existence of relations or direction of causality between the variables. This study extends research in this area by studying the long-run and causal relations between economic growth, electricity consumption, labour and capital based on the neo-classical one sector aggregate production technology mode using data of electricity consumption and real GDP for ASEAN from the year 1983 to 2012. The analysis is conducted using advanced panel estimation approaches and found no causality in the short run while in the long-run, the results indicate that there are bidirectional relationship among variables. This study provides supplementary evidences of relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth in ASEAN.

Electric energy is very important both technologically and economically in today's countries. Countries can generate and consume more energy according to their level of development and the resources they have. In the literature, it is estimated in parallel with the development of countries; there will also be an increase in electrical energy generation and consumption. Similarly, in economies that generate and consume more electricity, it is assumed that this will affect their economic growth. But these assumptions need to be calculated econometrically. This study has been prepared for this purpose. In this study, the relationship between electricity generation, electricity consumption, and economic growth in Turkey was analyzed. In the analysis conducted for the period 1975-2019, the Toda-Yamamoto causality test method was preferred as the method. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there is a causal relationship from electricity consumption and electricity generation to economic growth, valid for the period 1975-2019 in Turkey.

Electricity is an indispensable material basis for economic development. It is necessary to study the relationship between different electricity consumption and economic growth. Based on the quarterly data of China’s electricity consumption and economic development from 2011 to 2018, the long-term equilibrium relationship between variables are analyzed from a causal perspective, and electricity consumption indicators for reflecting economic development are identified. The results show that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between secondary industry electricity consumption, industrial electricity consumption and GDP. The demand for electricity consumption still needs to be met urgently.

PurposeThis study aims to examine the relationship between electricity consumption per capita (ELEC) and real per capita income (Y), as the direction of causation of this relationship remains controversial in the existing literature. It also seeks to explore the relationship between energy consumption per capita (ENC) and real per capita income, over a 34‐year period (between 1975 and 2009).Design/methodology/approachThe study uses Johansen cointegration technique to determine the short‐ and long‐run relationship between the variables. The authors also utilize Granger causality test to determine the causal relationship between the selected variables.FindingsThe study provides evidence of bi‐directional causality between the electricity consumption per capita and real per capita income on one hand; and energy consumption per capita and real per capita income on the other hand as the direction of causality has significant policy implications.Research limitations/implicationsThis study does not include all dimensions of the energy growth, but is limited to the three variables which the authors consider to be critical to economic development, including energy consumption, electricity consumption and economic growth.Originality/valueThe study uses a sophisticated econometric technique with additional tests of forecasting framework to examine the effect of energy demand on economic growth over a period of the next ten years, i.e. 2010‐2019, in the context of Pakistan. The impulse response describes the reaction of the system as a function of independent variable that parameterizes the dynamic behavior of the system.
