• Panel long-run Granger-causality performed on end-use disaggregated energy and GDP.
• Panels vary by geography, income, and relative energy intensity.
• Results of reduced-form supply and demand models are highly consistent across panels.
• Income causes per capita residential electricity consumption in all panels.
• Income causes per capita motor gasoline consumption in all panels.
This paper disaggregates energy consumption and GDP data according to end-use to analyze a broad number of developed and developing countries grouped in panels by similar characteristics. Panel long-run causality is assessed with a relatively under-utilized approach recommend by Canning and Pedroni (2008) [1]. We examine (i) reduced form production function models for both the industry and service/commercial sectors, where aggregate energy consumption is expected to cause aggregate output; and (ii) reduced form demand models, where income is expected to cause (separately) per capita residential electricity consumption and per capita gasoline consumption. We uncover for 12 different panels a set of super-consistent causality findings across two demand models that income “Granger-causes” per capita consumption. By contrast, the results from the production function models suggest that a different modeling framework is required to glean new, useful insights.
