| Title: | Agricultural and non-agricultural outputs and energy consumption in Tunisia: empirical evidences from cointegration and causality |

| Abstract: | This short paper investigates the cointegration
and causality link between energy consumption and
agricultural, non-agricultural outputs (manufacturing sector
and services sector) and overall gross domestic product in
Tunisia for 1971-2003 period.
Empirical results suggest that there is only unidirectional
causality running from agricultural and non-agricultural
sectors to energy consumption as well as from overall GDP
growth to energy consumption. This unidirectional causality
signifies a less energy dependent economy and suggests that it
is sectoral growth that drives the energy consumption in
Tunisia and not vice versa.
Empirical results suggest also that Tunisian agricultural
sector growth does not depend on energy, and high
consumption of energy do not implies more productivity in the
short run for this sector. |
