Abstract

En este artículo se presenta evidencia empírica sobre la relación entre el consumo de energía y el PIB para Colombia, durante el periodo 1970-2009. Los resultados muestran que las series son no estacionarias; es decir, son I (1) de manera individual, adicionalmente, existe una relación de largo plazo entre dichas variables. A través de un VECM se estiman las elasticidades de corto y largo plazo para analizar la dinámica de ajuste. Los resultados muestran que en el corto plazo se mantiene la hipótesis de conservación pero que a largo plazo se evidencia una retroalimentación entre ambas variables. Se concluye que en Colombia no se evidencia una relación de consumo de energía y PIB en el corto plazo, por tanto, los hacedores de política pueden implementar estrategias encaminadas a la conservación de la energía.******This paper presents empirical evidence on the relationship between energy consumption and GDP in Colombia during the period 1970 to 2009. The results show that the series are not stationary, i.e. are individually I (1); in addition we find a long term relationship between both variables. Through a VECM we estimate short and long term elasticities to analyze the dynamics of adjustment. The results show that in the short-term the conservation hypothesis holds (i.e. no evidence of a short-term relationship of energy consumption to GDP). In the long-term, however, we find evidence of a feedback mechanism between both variables. Yet, this paper provides evidence that policymakers can implement policies aimed at energy conservation without hurting economic growth.
