Differences in coal consumption patterns and economic growth between developed and developing countries

摘要：

There exist different energy mixes, different fuel use patterns, and different consumption trends between developed and developing countries. Will causal relationship between coal consumption and economic growth different? This paper uses the granger causality test procedure to examine the differences of causal relationships between coal consumption and GDP in major developed and developing countries based on data during the period from 1980 to 2005. Although no similar causal relationship between coal consumption and GDP in major developed and developing countries has been discovered, they all should examine how coal use is linked with economic development and make a scientific policy for coal energy to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to meet the standards stipulated in the Kyoto Protocol.
