استهلاك الوقود الأحفوري وانبعاثات غاز ثاني أوكسيد الكربون والنمو الاقتصادي في ليبيا: تحليل السببية متعدد المتغيرات

Abstract EN

The main aim of this study was to investigate the long run causality relationship among three variables, namely, Fossil Fuel Consumption, Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Economic Growth in Libya.

In order to achieve the study objective, the Toda & Yamamoto (1995) approach to Granger causality has been adopted.

The findings of the study have supported the existence of a unidirectional causal relationship from Fossil Fuel consumption to GDP.

In addition, a unidirectional causal relationship from GDP to CO2 emissions has been found.

Furthermore, the study results have indicated that fossil fuel consumption and GDP jointly cause CO2 emissions.

An other unidirectional causal relationship from CO2 and Fossil Fuel consumption jointly to GDP has been captured.

The study recommendations have concentrated around the issue of energy sources diversification, with focus on renewable once.
