Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to analyze the causality relationship between the rate of access to electricity and economic growth in Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Gambia, Haiti, Madagascar, Malawi, and Mali in the period 1995-2016. According to the Kónya (2006) causality test, which was applied after the cross section dependency and homogeneity test, findings were obtained for both variables in a country specific. According to the findings, there is a bidirectional causality relationship between economic growth and energy poverty in the Central African Republic and Madagascar, and a one-way causality relationship from economic growth to energy poverty in Burkina Faso and Malawi, and from energy poverty to economic growth in Haiti. In addition, it has been concluded that there is no causal relationship between economic growth and energy poverty in the selected countries, Gambia and Mali.
