THE IMPACT OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN DEVELOPED AND POST-TRANSITION COUNTRIES OF EUROPEAN UNION

This paper aims to investigate the impact of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on economic growth. Analysis was conducted for 16 developed EU member states over the period from 1990 to 2018 and 11 post-transition EU member states over the period from 1995 to 2018. We also compared ob...

description This paper aims to investigate the impact of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption on economic growth. Analysis was conducted for 16 developed EU member states over the period from 1990 to 2018 and 11 post-transition EU member states over the period from 1995 to 2018. We also compared obtained results with results for the period until 2014. The pooled mean group (PMG) model was used to capture dynamic relationship in a short and long run. The empirical results show that consumption of both energy sources has an impact on economic growth in the long run in both groups of countries. However, the results differ between the developed and post-transition EU countries. In developed EU countries renewable energy consumption has a negative impact on economic growth, while non-renewable energy consumption has a positive impact. In posttransition EU countries results are opposite, meaning that in these countries there is a tendency to shift from less efficient and more polluting energy sources to more efficient energy options which can be a stimulus to economic growth.
