Abstract

L'objectif de cet article est de déterminer empiriquement la nature de la relation de causalité entre consommation d'énergie électrique et croissance économique pour cinq pays d'Afrique Centrale. La méthodologie utilisée repose sur un cadre multivarié théoriquement fondé et des récents développements en économétrie des données de panel des: tests de racine unitaire, tests de cointégration, estimateurs des moindres carrés ordinaires entièrement modifiés (FMOLS) et moindres carrés ordinaires dynamiques (DOLS) et du modèle vectoriel à correction d'erreur (VECM). Sur la période 1990–2015, les principaux résultats mettent en évidence une causalité bidirectionnelle entre la consommation d'énergie électrique et la croissance économique à la fois à court et à long terme. Celle‐ci reste stable même après contrôle pour le capital et le travail. Ces résultats constituent ainsi une base solide pour la formulation des politiques et des programmes énergétiques appropriées qui favoriseraient l'accès à l'énergie électrique et la croissance économique.
