Abstract
The findings show a bi-directional causality between energy consumption and GDP in Canada, Japan and United States. GDP causes energy consumption in France and Germany, while no causality is found for the rest of the sample (i.e. Italy and United Kingdom). These outcomes are very sensitive to the cross-sectional dependences between countries. Therefore, their environmental and growth policies should be widely reconsidered when the level of interdependence dramatically decreases.
