Renewable energy consumption and its contribution to Algeria's economic growth : applying a model ARDL

Abstract EN

In our paper, we aim to clarify the complementary relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth represented by real GDP in Algeria between 1980 and 2018, although there is a one-trend (Unidirectional) or two-trend (Bidirectional) relationship.

In the latter, we found that there is no complementary, one-trend, two-trend relationship between the consumption of renewable energy and economic growth, but the existence of short- and long-run integrative relations between the independent and dependent variables and the lack of causal relationship between them.
