Testing the relationships between energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and economic growth in 24 African countries: a panel ARDL approach
TL;DR: Examining the nexus between energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and economic growth in 24 African countries using a panel autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach finds there is a long-run relationship between EC, CE, and GDP, and causality from EC to GDP is not strong, which supports the conservative hypothesis.
