Abstract

This article investigates the short- and long-run causality issues between oil consumption and economic growth in Korea by applying modern time-series techniques. It employs annual data covering the period 1968-2002. Tests for unit roots, cointegration, and a Granger-causality based on error-correction model are presented. The results show that bidirectional causality runs from oil consumption to economic growth in Korea. This means that an increase in oil consumption directly affects economic growth and that economic growth also stimulates further oil consumption.
