Electricity consumption–growth nexus: The case of Malaysia

摘要: Abstract The goal of this paper is to model the relationship between electricity consumption and real gross domestic product (GDP) for Malaysia in a bivariate multivariate framework. We use time series data period 1971–2003 apply bounds testing approach search long-run relationship. Our results reveal that consumption, GDP price share autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) estimates elasticity on are found be around 0.7 statistically significant. Finally, short-run, causality test show there unidirectional causal flow from economic growth Malaysia. From these findings we conclude an energy-dependent country, leading us draw some policy implications. This adds support validity, thus reducing makers concern ambiguity nexus
