Causality between energy consumption and economic growth : evidence from Algeria

الملخص EN

This paper looks at the relationship between per capita GDP and per capita energy consumption for Algeria during the period from 1971 to 2016, utilizing a modified version of the Granger (1969) causality test proposed by Toda and Yamamoto (1995).

The empirical results show that there is a unidirectional causality running from GDP per capita to energy consumption.
