The study examines the causal relationship between energy use, carbon dioxide emissions, GDP, industrialization, financial development, and population from 1971 to 2012 in Sri Lanka, using the ARDL regression analysis and a subsequent prediction of energy use using neural network. There was evidence of a long- run equilibrium relationship running from carbon dioxide emissions, GDP, industrialization, financial development, and population to energy use. The Granger causality test shows a unidirectional causality running from carbon dioxide emissions to energy use and a bidirectional causality between industrialization and energy use. The overall predicted EUSE from 1971 to 2012 has a mean absolute percentage error of 1.97%. Evidence from the neural network shows that the statistical coefficient of R-square for both training and validation is 98% and 99% with a corresponding Root mean square Error of 11.11 and 6.10, respectively.

Energy consumption, economic growth, and carbon emissions: Challenges faced by an EU candidate member Soytaş, Uğur; Sarı, Ramazan (2009-04-15) This paper investigates the long run Granger causality relationship between economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption in Turkey, controlling for gross fixed capital formation and labor. The most interesting result is that carbon emissions seem to Granger cause energy consumption, but the reverse is not true. The lack of a long run causal link between income and emissions may be implying that to reduce carbon emissions, Turkey does not have to forgo economic growth.
Recent evidence of the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy use, GDP, and population in Ghana: A linear regression approach Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2017-01-01) In this study, the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, energy use, GDP, and population was examined in Ghana from 1971-2013 using a linear regression approach. Evidence from the study shows a long-run equilibrium relationship running from energy use (EU), gross domestic product (GDP), and population to carbon dioxide emissions. There was evidence of long-run equilibrium relationship from GDP to carbon dioxide emissions and population to carbon dioxide emissions. There was a unidirectional causali...
Financial development and energy consumption in emerging markets: Smooth structural shifts and causal linkages Durusu-Ciftci, Dilek; Soytaş, Uğur; NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01) This study examines the dynamic interrelationships among financial development, energy consumption, and economic growth in emerging markets by focusing on accounting for structural changes in causal linkages. We first employ the Toda-Yamamoto causality framework and then augment it with a Fourier approximation which captures structural shifts as a gradual/smooth process. The empirical findings show that taking into account gradual structural shifts matters for the causal linkages between financial developme...
Carbon dioxide emission, electricity consumption, industrialization, and economic growth nexus: The Beninese case Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2016-01-01) In this study, the causal nexus between carbon dioxide emission, electricity consumption, industrialization, and economic growth was examined in Benin for the periods between 1980 and 2012 using the autoregressive distributed lag approach. Evidence from the study shows that a 1% increase in electricity consumption will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.56% in the short run, a 1% increase in Benin's total electricity consumption will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.95% in the long run, while a 1%...
The impact of energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and human-induced indicators on environmental pollution: evidence from Ghana Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (2017-03-01) In this study, the impact of energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and human-induced indicators on environmental pollution from 1971 to 2011 is investigated using the statistically inspired modification of partial least squares (SIMPLS) regression model. There was evidence of a linear relationship between energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and humaninduced indicators and carbon dioxide emissions. Evidence from the SIMPLS regression shows that a 1% increase in crop production index will reduce carbon dioxide em...
