Gas consumption as a key for low carbon state and its impact on economic growth in Malaysia: ARDL approach

Natural gas consumption contributes the least to CO2 emissions than other non-renewable energy such as oil and coal. Thus, it is important to replace oil in generating economic activities and leading the country towards low carbon state. Despite the environmentally friendly energy, most previous studies did not study gas consumption. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of gas consumption and other selected macroeconomic determinants such as labour, capital, foreign direct investment, trade openness, and financial development on Malaysia's economic growth from 1980 to 2019. The Augmented Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach is employed, and the results show that gas consumption plays a vital role in boosting economic growth in the short and long run. Based on these findings, all economic sectors should consume more natural gas instead of oil, including industries and transportation. This move can conserve the environment and support clean energy for sustainable development. The remaining variables also increased economic growth except for financial development. Based on these outcomes, the country's policymakers can construct a suitable policy that can improve all the potential macroeconomic determinants besides the use of natural gas consumption in accelerating growth in Malaysia.

The impact of renewable energy consumption and economic growth on COâ‚‚ emissions: new evidence using panel ardl study of selected countries

2020 , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Noorazeela Zainol Abidin , Zulkefly Abdul Karim

Most countries consume more non-renewable energy to generate economic activities. Hence, economic growth plays a vital role in contributing to higher COâ‚‚ emissions. Therefore, this type of energy has reduced and replaced by renewable energy. Renewable energy is said not to be detrimental to the environment. Consequently, it is imperative to examine the effects of renewable energy consumption and economic growth on COâ‚‚ emissions in selected countries by per capita income. Using a sample of high-income, upper-middle-income, and lower middle-income, and low-income countries for the period of 1990-2017, and the estimation method of the panel ARDL, the main results show that in the long run, overall renewable energy consumption can reduce COâ‚‚ emissions. However, economic growth and population growth can result in higher COâ‚‚ emissions in the long term. In the short run, the results show that higher overall economic growth can contribute to higher COâ‚‚ emissions. Contrarily, higher population growth, and renewable energy consumption can help reduce COâ‚‚ emissions in the short run.

The effects of capital, labor and electricity consumption on economic growth in Malaysia

2020 , Hamizah Abdul Halim , Nor Hidayah Harun , Mohd Shahidan Shaari , Noorazeela Zainol Abidin

Capital and labour are common factors of production in boosting the economic growth. Apart from that, electricity consumption is a vital key to most industry sectors. However, there are very limited studies which consider this factor in the analysis particularly in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of capital, labour and electricity consumption on economic growth in Malaysia using data period of 1982-2017. The autoregressive distributed lag bound testing approach was employed and the results reveal the significant effects of capital and electricity consumption on economic growth both in the short runs and the long runs. However, there is no significant effect of labour on economic growth in Malaysia for both short runs and long runs. The results may provide more understanding of prevalent factors of production that affects economic growth and can be a guideline for policy makers to boost the economic growth in Malaysia.
