摘要
This study estimates a panel error correction model to determine the Granger-causal relationship between renewable and non-renewable electricity consumption and economic growth for South America. The results show a long-run equilibrium relationship between real gross domestic product, renewable electricity consumption, non-renewable electricity consumption, real gross fixed capital formation, and the labor force with the respective long-run coefficient estimates positive and statistically significant. The Granger-causality results indicate bidirectional causality between renewable and non-renewable electricity consumption, respectively and economic growth in both the short-run and long-run.
