Energy Consumption and Economic Growth: Empirical Evidence from MENA Region

<p>This paper examines the causal relationship between energy consumption and real GDP of the fourteen MENA Countries over the period 1987–2019 by using bivariate Vector Auto-regression model and Granger causality approach. This study shows the existence of unidirectional, bidirectional or no...
