Energy Consumption and Growth in Romania: Evidence from a Panel Error Correction Model

This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for the economy of Romania over the period 2000-2011 within a multivariate framework. A cointegration and error correction model is employed to infer the causal relationship. Cointegration test reveals a long-run equ...
