Abstract

This study will demonstrate, through an econometric approach, the renewable energy consumption-economic growth effects in Mexico over the period 1990-2017. After a premise where we describe the situation of energy demand and consumption in Mexico and a summary of the economic literature, we have applied various econometric tests. Results about unit root tests describe a situation with all variables that aren t stationary except that in first differences. The Toda and Yamamoto approach is very important in our analysis: it highlights the existence of a unidirectional causal flow, running from renewable energy consumption to aggregate income. This situation respects the theory and hypothesis of economic growth.
