摘要
This paper empirically examines electricity consumption-economic growth nexus in Uganda from 1981 to 2013. Autoregressive distributed lag-bounds testing and Granger causality tests are employed for analysis. The results confirm the existence of long-run relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth and vice versa. In addition, the Granger causality test results confirm conservation hypothesis in the short run and feedback hypothesis in the long run. Therefore, the paper recommends Ugandan authorities not only to develop energy policies geared toward promoting efficient energy use but also to expand electricity infrastructure to address increased electricity demand to support economic growth.
