Dynamic interaction between economic growth and energy in Malaysia

This thesis attempts to investigate the causal relationship between economic growth (or GDP) and disaggregate energies (energy supply and consumption) in Malaysia by applying the time-series techniques. The major findings for energy supply extract from this thesis are as follows: (1) Long run cau...
