Abstract: (30 Views) |
The need of communities for electricity, including industrialists, farmers, households, etc., for electricity to increase production and welfare of life has caused an increase in the consumption of this type of energy and meeting the demand for electricity. In developing countries, especially Iran, there is a need to produce more from non-renewable resources, which in turn causes air and environment pollution. In order to increase the GDP and economic growth, the industrial production of the country should be increased and, in this regard, the electricity needed by the factories should be provided. Therefore, in this research, the effect of electricity consumption on economic growth and carbon dioxide emission in Iran during the period 1970 to 2022 has been discussed. Using the vector auto regression (VAR) model, electricity consumption shock on the variable of GDP per capita and carbon dioxide emissions have been examined, and the results show that the electricity consumption shock had a positive effect on GDP per capita; while the effect of the electricity consumption shock on carbon dioxide emissions was initially negative and positive in the long run. |
