Do Institutions Moderate the Energy-Growth Affiliation? Evidence from Sub Sahara Africa Countries

Résumé

Abstract This paper aims to look into the role of institutional quality in regulating energy and growth affiliation. The countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are studied from 1990 to 2019. CSD and SH tests were used to verify cross-sectional dependency and slope homogeneity properties. CIPS and CADF were used to investigate stationarity features. The Westerlund bootstrap cointegration test was used to analyze the long-tenure equilibrium affiliation among the variables and confirm cointegration in the extended period. To examine the long-short term performance between the variables, the CS-ARDL approach is used. To analyze the flow of causation, the study used the DH causality process. The findings reveal that energy has a negative and significant impact on growth. In both terms, industrialization and population have a negative and positive impact on growth, respectively. The DH heterogenous causality study reveals the mixed effect, i.e. one-way causal associations between growth and institutional quality, two-way causal associations between energy and population, and no causation with industrialization. Furthermore, institutional quality as a moderating variable harms growth. To achieve long-period growth, states should expand investment in renewable energy sectors, create well-resourced institutions, and plan for renewable energy development, according to this empirical research.
