dc.description.abstract | The vector error correction model is used to examine the short- and long-run impacts of electricity
consumption and economic growth on CO2 emissions in Western and Central Africa from 1970 to
2020. This paper adopted time series vector error correction model (VECM) approach to conduct
stationarity test, cointegration test, stability test, and Granger causality test. Cointegration tests
are used to examine the long-run impact of electricity consumption and economic growth on CO2
emissions. It was revealed that CO2 emission, electricity consumption and economic growth are
co-integrated. Electricity consumption and economic growth have a significant and positive effect
on CO2 emission. The study also revealed that the adjustment process is not driven by electricity
consumption, and anytime there is a deviation from the long-run equilibrium, economic growth
and CO2 emission adjust to restore the long-run equilibrium. From the short-run Granger causality, electricity consumption and economic growth do not Granger cause CO2 emissions.
However, past values of CO2 emissions have an effect on the present value of economic growth.
Generally, long-run dynamics of electricity consumption and economic growth were established
to have a greater impact on CO2 emission than the short-run dynamics. Hence, it is important to
promote green economic concepts in the area. | spa |
