We have used he ARDL bounds esng and rollng wndow approach (RWA) for conegraon. The causaly analyss s conduced by applyng VECM Granger causaly and nnovave accounng approaches. The resuls showed ha all he varables are conegraed for long run relaonshp. Renewable energy consumpon, capal and labor boos economc growh. The causaly analyss ndcaed bdreconal causaly beween economc growh, renewable energy consumpon and capal over he perod of 972Q-20Q4. The sudy opens up new drecons for polcy makers o explore new sources of energy susan economc growh. eywords: Renewable Energy, Economc Growh, Rollng Wndow Approach

3 Inroducon Over he pas en years, ndusralzed counres have aaned sable energy consumpon paern. On he oher hand n developng counres, on average, are makng 5% annual growh n energy consumpon. The surprsng very s ha abou 8% of energy consumpon s grafed by fossl fuels. Lke oher developng counres n Paksan, prmary energy consumpon has rased 80% n precedng wo decades. I was 34 mllon oe n and reached o 6 mllon oe o us n Aborgnal naural gas, mpored ol, hydel power generaon, coal consumpon, and fnally nuclear power consue 45%, 35%, 2%, 6%, and 2% respecvely n energy. Convenonal energy s consumed mosly o saae he energy requremens n Paksan. Shekh [34] argues ha conrbues up o 99% n he oal energy consumpon. As he marke for he convenonal energy s much broad and exensve as compared o renewable energy, ha s why nvesors are lesser neresed n hs source of energy. I resuls n lesser share of renewable energy consumpon n oal energy blend and s a hrea o he fuure level of producon. Noneheless; Paksan Alernave Energy Board s dong a grea og n hs regard, ams ha produce 5% of oal energy hrough renewable energy n he nex 20 years (hall e al. [5]). Paksan has abundan poenal for renewable energy. Solar energy s a cheaper source of energy as compared o fossl fuels and Paksan has comparave advanage of producng energy wh. I doesn necessae any refnng nor does nvolve any ransporaon whch sors a cheaper and srkng subsue for fossl fuels. Noneheless, s ulzed n a very lmed way n Paksan e.g. hghways elephone exchanges, emergency 2

In addon o hs, he coaslne zones n Paksan are very rch for producon of wnd energy. I s proeced ha has lkely o produce energy of 50,000 MW. The landscapes of Norhern areas make a suable canddae for wnd energy also. I s esmaed ha 5000 vllage can be elecrfed f hs energy s made operaonal n Paksan. I s more approprae for mcro hydro plans whch can yeld energy of 300 MW. Canal sysem n Paksan arranges for a grea prospec for renewable energy. Jus Punab has he poenal o yeld energy of 350 MW. Along wh, here are also he prospec for he mcro plans whch can provde energy of 3 MW o small households and busness uns. As Paksan s an agraran economy, would be able o make avalable cheaper energy o s rural secor f makes proper use of bogas. I can yeld 7.25 mllon cubc meers energy n he form of bogas daly whch s suffcen o mee he cookng oblgaon of ffy mllon folks. Hence, s no he defcency of resources bu msmanagemen and laxy whch s makng our lves dffcul. Energy (renewable energy consumpon) plays a val role by expandng domesc producon. Ths mples ha energy consumpon s also an mporan deermnan of economc growh lke oher facors of producon such as labour and capal. Exsng energy leraure provdes four compeng hypoheses beween energy consumpon (renewable) and economc growh n case of Paksan. These compeng hypoheses are very mporan for polcy pon of vew.

If bdreconal causaly s found boh he varables / energy consumpon Granger causes economc growh hen new sources of energy should be explored. Energy s an mporan smulus of producon process and energy mus Granger cause economc growh. An expanson n producon s lnked wh energy demand and economc growh mgh Granger cause energy consumpon. The man obecve of presen sudy s o nvesgae he relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon capal, labour and economc growh n case of Paksan of usng Cobb-Douglas producon funcon over he perod of 972Q-20Q4. In case of Paksan, hs sudy conrbued o energy leraure by fve folds applyng: () he ARDL bound esng approach o conegraon for long run relaonshp; () he rollng wndow approach (RWA) o examne robusness of he ARDL resuls; () OLS and ECM for long run and shor run mpacs of renewable energy consumpon on economc growh; (d) he VECM Granger causaly approach s o examne causal relaonshp beween he varables and (v) nnovave accounng approach o (IAA) es he robusness of he VECM Granger causaly resuls. Our fndngs reveal ha conegraon beween renewable energy consumpon economc growh, capal and labor exss n case of Paksan. Furher, our emprcal evdence repors ha renewable energy consumpon has posve mpac on economc growh. Capal and labour also adds n economc growh. Furhermore, esmaed resuls ndcaed bdreconal causaly relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh. 4

6 II. Leraure Revew: Conemporaneous research on energy consumpon provdes a sream of nformaon regardng he drecon of causaly beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh. All he counres have dfferen effecs of renewable energy consumpon; some counres repor renewable energy consumpon feches handsome conrbuon n economc growh whle for some counres hs source of energy s no suffcen. For example, Ewng e al. [2] assered ha renewable energy consumpon has lle mpac on economc growh n case of Uned Saes. In conras, Payne ([23], Uned Saes) and Twar ([35], Inda) affrmed ha renewable energy conrbues much n economc growh and sugges ha he share of renewable energy n oal energy blend mus rse over me. In he same spr bu wh panel daa 2, Twar [35] fnds posve response of GDP n response o renewable energy consumpon nnovave shock. In addon, Magnan and Vaona [9] also share he same vews for Ialy and advsed o dscourage renewable energy conservaon polces. Arfn and Syahruddn [6] repored ha adopon of energy conservaon polces would affec economc growh n Indonesa because causaly s runnng from renewable energy consumpon o economc growh.

Oher han growh hypohess, emprcal sudes also exrac conservaon hypohess. For nsance, Sar e al. [29] share hs vew for Uned Saes whle Sadorsky [28] for a panel of counres 3, boh of he sudes fnd conservaon polces are more suable. On oher hand, Apergs and Payne [] worked wh a panel of OECD counres 4 and found he bdreconal causaly beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh. These fndng are conssen wh Apergs and Payne [2]; who worked wh a panel of 3 Eurasan counres 5, Apergs and Payne []; for 6 Cenral Amercan counres 6, Apergs and Payne [4]; for a panel of 80 counres 7.

Renewable elecrcy consumpon adds n economc growh and feedback hypohess exss beween renewable elecrcy consumpon and economc growh n long run and renewable elecrcy consumpon Granger causes economc growh n shor run. In conras, some sudes fnd no causal relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh. Payne [24] repors no causal relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh for Uned Saes. A same nference s drawn by Menegak [2] for a panel of 27 European counres 8.

9 III. Modelng Framework and Daa Collecon The purpose of curren nvesgaon s o lnk he relaonshp among renewable energy consumpon and economc growh n case of Paksan usng quarerly daa over he perod of Ths sudy employ Cobb-Douglus producon funcon o analyss he correlaon beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh ncludng capal and labour as addonal facors of producon. Commonly, he equaon of producon funcon s as follows: 3 2 u AR L e () where s domesc oupu n real erms; R, and L ndcae renewable energy consumpon, real capal and labor respecvely. A shows level of echnology o be ulzed n he counry and e s he error erm supposed o be dencally, ndependenly and normally dsrbued. The reurns o scale s assocaed wh renewable energy consumpon, capal and labour s shown by, and 2 3 respecvely. We have convered all he seres no logarhms n order o lnearze he form of nonlnear Cobb- Douglus producon. The man reason s ha lnear specfcaon does no seem o provde conssen resuls and no helpful for polcy makng purpose (Shahbaz e al. [33]; Shahbaz and Ferdun [30]). To cover hs problem, we use log-lnear specfcaon o nvesgae relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh n case of Paksan. Ehrlch [0, ], Cameron [9] and Layson [7] recommended peran log-lnear 8

10 modelng n aanng beer, conssen and effcen emprcal resuls 0. The log-lnear funconal form of Cobb-Douglus producon funcon s modeled as follows: log log A logr 2 log 3 logl u (2) The emprcal equaon o nvesgae he relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh s modeled keepng echnology consan. The loglnear specfcaon o assess he relaonshp beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh s as follows: 0 R 3 4 L u (3) Where, R, and L s he logarhm of per capa real GDP, renewable energy consumpon (kg of ol equvalen per capa) per capa, capal use per capa and labor per capa respecvely. The long run assocaon among renewable energy consumpon and economc growh n case of Paksan s nvesgaed by applyng he ARDL bounds esng approach presens by Pesaran e al. [27]. The emprcal leraure ndcaes he varous conegraon approaches n order o es conegraon. Bu, he ARDL bounds esng approach s preferable due o s advanages over oher conegraon echnques. For nsance, order of negraon of he seres does no maer for applyng he ARDL bounds esng f no varable s found o be saonary a I(2). Ths approach s more approprae as compared o convenonal conegraon echnques for 0 See Shahbaz e al. [32] for more deals 9

11 0 small sample (Haug, [4]). Whn he general-o-specfc framework, unresrced verson of he ARDL chooses proper lag order o capure he daa generang procedure (see Shahbaz and Lean, [3] for more deals). Approprae specfcaon of he ARDL model s suffcen o smulaneously correc for resdual seral correlaon and endogeney problems (Pesaran and Shn, [26]). The equaon of unresrced error correcon model (UECM) o nvesgae he long-and-shor runs relaons beween he seres s followng: m m m s l l l q p L R T L R L R T (4) m m m s l l l q p L R T L R L R T R (5) m m m r k k k q p L R T L R L R T (6) m m m r k k k q p L R T R L L R T L (7)

The proper calculaed F-sasc depends upon he approprae lag order selecon of he seres o be ncluded n he model. The overall sgnfcance of he coeffcens of lagged varables s nvesgaed by applyng an F-es advanced by Pesaran e al. [27]. The null hypohess of no long run relaonshp beween he varables n equaon (3) s H : 0 agans he alernae hypohess of 0 R L long run relaonshp.e. H : 0. Two asympoc crcal values have been 0 R L generaed by Pesaran e al. [27]. These bounds are upper crcal bound (UCB) and lower crcal bound (LCB) are used o decde wheher varables are conegraed for long run relaonshp or no. If all he varables are saonary a I(0) hen we use LCB o es conegraon beween he seres. We use UCB o examne long run relaonshp beween he seres f he varables are negraed a I() or I(0) or I()/I(0). We compue he value of F-es applyng followng models such as F ( / R,, L), F R ( R/,, L), ( /, R, L) and ( L /, R, ) for equaons (4) o (7) respecvely. The decson of conegraon s F L aken wh he help of followng rules: f upper crcal bound (UCB) s less han our compued F-sasc hen we conclude conegraon. If compued F-sasc does no exceed lower crcal bound hen no conegraon among he varables. The decson abou conegraon beween he seres s quesonable f compued F-sasc s found beween LCB and UCB 2. Our decson regardng conegraon s nconclusve f calculaed F-sasc falls beween LCB and UCB. In such an envronmen, error F For deals see Shahbaz e al.

Afer he confrmaon of long run relaonshp among he varables hen n nex sep we nvesgae he causal relaon beween he seres. Granger, [3] saed ha once he varables are negraed a I() hen vecor error correcon mehod (VECM) s suable approach o es he drecon of causal lnk among he varables. Relavely, he VECM s resrced form of unresrced VAR (vecor auoregressve) and resrcon s leved on he presence of long run relaonshp beween he seres. All he seres are endogenously used n he sysem of error correcon model (ECM). Ths shows ha n such suaon, response varable s explaned boh by s own lags and lags of ndependen varables as well as he error correcon erm and by resdual erm. The VECM n fve varables case can be wren as follows: s p s r o r m l ECT L R (8) s p s r o r m l ECT R R (9) s p s n k k m l ECT L R (0) s p s n k k m l ECT R L L ()

ECT furher valdaes he esablshed long run relaonshp beween he varables. The esmaes of ECT also shows he speed of convergence from shor run owards long run equlbrum pah n all models. The VECM s superor o es he causal relaon once seres are conegraed and causaly mus be found a leas from one drecon. Furher, he VECM helps o dsngush beween shor-and-long runs causal relaonshps. The sascal sgnfcance of esmae of lagged error erm.e. ECT wh negave sgn confrms he exsence of long run causal relaon usng he -sasc. Shor run causaly s ndcaed by he on 2 sascal sgnfcance of he esmaes of frs dfference lagged ndependen varables. For example, he sgnfcance of 0 mples ha 22, renewable energy consumpon Granger-causes economc growh and causaly runs from economc growh o renewable energy consumpon can be ndcaed by he sgnfcance of 22, 0. The same nference can be drawn for res of causaly hypoheses. Fnally, we use Wald or F-es o es he on sgnfcance of esmaes of lagged erms of ndependen varables and error correcon erm. Ths furher confrms he exsence of shor-and-long run causaly relaons (Shahbaz e al. [32]) and known as measure of srong Granger-causaly (Oh and Lee, [22]). 3

15 The daa span of presen sudy s 972Q-20Q4. The daa on renewable energy consumpon s colleced from SBP (200-). We have used world developmen ndcaors (CD-ROM, 20) o collec on daa on real GDP, real capal and labour respecvely. IV.

The assumpon of he ARDL bounds esng s ha he varables should be negraed a I(0) or I() or I(0)/I() and no seres s saonary a I(2). If any varable s negraed a I(2) hen he compuaon of he ARDL F-sasc becomes nvald. The resuls of Ng-Perron un roo es are shown n Table-2. The emprcal resuls ndcae ha all he seres are non-saonary a level and saonary a s dfference. So, all he varables are ndcaed order one.e. I().

24 The VECM Granger Causaly Analyss Afer fndng long-and-shor runs affec of renewable energy consumpon, capal and labour on economc growh n case of Paksan over he perod of 972Q-20Q4. The drecon of causal relaonshp beween hese varables s nvesgaed by applyng he VECM Granger causaly approach. The approprae envronmenal and energy polcy o susan economc growh s dependen upon he naure of causal relaon beween he seres. In dong so, we appled he VECM Granger causaly approach o deec he causaly beween renewable energy consumpon, capal, labour and economc growh whch would help polcy makers n formulang comprehensve energy polcy o accelerae economc growh for long run. The Table-6 presens he emprcal evdence of long run and shor run causaly relaonshps. The resuls sugges ha feedback hypohess beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh, renewable energy consumpon and labor, labor and economc growh, n case of Paksan for long run. The resuls ndcae ha causaly runnng from renewable energy consumpon o economc growh s sronger compared o causal relaonshp from economc growh o renewable energy consumpon. Ths shows ha governmen mus pay her aenon o launch comprehensve energy polcy n explorng new sources of renewable energy o susan economc growh. The R & D acves should be encouraged n energy secor. To overcome energy crss n he counry, governmen mus gve ncenve o foregn nvesors o nvesmen n energy secor of Paksan. The undreconal causaly exss from capal o renewable energy 23

In shor run, bdreconal causal relaonshp s found beween renewable energy consumpon and economc growh. The feedback hypohess also exss beween capal and economc growh. Economc growh and labor Granger cause each oher. The undreconal causaly s found runnng from labour o renewable energy consumpon. The sascally sgnfcance of on long-and-shor run causaly corroboraes our long run and shor run causal relaonshps beween he seres over he sudy perod of 972Q-20Q4. 24

27 Exsng energy leraure reveals ha he Granger causaly approaches such he VECM Granger causaly es has some lmaons. The causaly es canno capure he relave srengh of causal relaon beween he varable beyond he seleced me perod. Ths weakens he relably of causaly resuls by he VECM Granger approach. To overcome hs problem, we appled nnovave accounng approach (IAA). The IAA s combnaon of varance decomposon mehod (VDM) and mpulse response funcon (IRF). The varance decomposon approach (VDM) deermnes he response of he dependen acor o shocks semmng from ndependen acors. The IRF s an alernae of VDM. The Table-7 shows he resuls of VDM 3. The varance decomposon approach ndcaes he magnude of he predced error varance for a seres accouned for by nnovaons from each of he ndependen varable over dfferen me-horzons beyond he seleced me perod. Table-7 repors ha economc growh s explaned 40.6 per cen by nnovave shocks of renewable energy consumpon.

Renewable energy consumpon s conrbued per cen by s own shocks and 8.94 per cen by nnovaons semmng n economc growh. Capal and labour explan renewable energy consumpon by 9.48 per cen and 0.59 per cen her nnovave shocks. The conrbuon of renewable energy consumpon s greaer han economc growh o capal. A 6.67 per cen capal s conrbued by s own nnovaons. 3 The resuls of mpulse response funcon are avalable from auhors upon reques 26
