The Dynamics of Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth:A Revisit Study of Their Causality in Pakistan (2012, background): “[37] for Lebanon, Akinlo [38] for Nigeria, and Acaravci [39] for Turkey.”
Dynamics of Electricity Consumption, Oil Price and Economic Growth: Global Perspective (2017, background): “Various studies have revealed the diverse impact of electricity consumption on economic growth (Yuan et al., 2007, 2008; Chen et al., 2007; Narayan and Prasad, 2008; Abosedra et al., 2009; Mutascu, 2016a, 2016b; Ahmed and Azam, 2016; Streimikiene and Kasperowicz, 2016).”
Economic growth, financial development, urbanisation and electricity consumption nexus in UAE (2017, background): “For example, Shiu and Lam (2004) for China; Ho and Siu (2007) for Honk Kong; Gupta and Chandra (2009) for India; Abosedra, Dah, and Ghosh (2009) for Lebanon; Odhiambo (2009a) for Tanzania; Adebola (2011) for Botswana; and Acaravci and Ozturk (2012) for Turkey confirmed the presence of a…”
Aggregate electricity demand in South Africa: Conditional forecasts to 2030 (2010, background): “Due to the nature of residential demand of electricity in some countries, a number of studies [15–19] have used the weather variations to explain electricity consumption.”
Electricity consumption and economic growth empirical evidence from Pakistan (2011, background): “The relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth is investigated by Abosedra et al. (2009) using time series but monthly data for the case of Lebanon.5 The results seem to support for cointegration between both variables and electricity consumption causes economic growth or GDP.”

Economic growth and electricity consumption in Cote d'Ivoire: Evidence from time series analysis (2011, background): “…and use Granger causality to highlight the fact that the electricity sector may be a limiting or accelerating factor of economic growth (Ramcharran, 1990; Altinay and Karagol, 2005; Ho and Siu, 2007; Yuan et al., 2007; Aqeel and Butt, 2008; Yuan et al., 2008; Abosedra et al., 2009; Akinlo, 2009).”
Is it possible to improve environmental quality without reducing economic growth: Evidence from the Qatar economy (2018, background): “In addition, study about Lebanon done by Abosedra et al. (2009) using Granger Causality VECM approach also confirmed growth effect. The study suggests that policy makers should increase the electricity capacity, for example by investing in the electric power infrastructure, in Lebanon to boost econo”
The causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in Lebanon (2012, background): “Hence, the results of studies that use the electricity consumption series such as Abosedra et al. (2009) should be interpreted with caution.”
