本文通过自回归分布滞后模型研究了突尼斯二氧化碳排放、可再生能源消费（RENEC）和经济增长之间的关系。我们的研究问题是，可再生能源在多大程度上可以作为传统能源的替代品，传统能源因其强烈的温室气体排放而闻名。我们使用格兰杰因果关系检验来检验短期和长期的均衡关系。此外，我们试图确定这三个变量之间的因果关系的方向为突尼斯经济。结果表明，对于国内生产总值（GDP），CO2排放量和RENEC是稳定的长期。然而，格兰杰因果关系检验表明，国内生产总值和二氧化碳排放量之间以及RENEC和国内生产总值之间存在双向关系，但二氧化碳排放量和RENEC之间没有关系。因此，为了使能源过渡项目取得成功，并从对经济增长和环境保护的积极影响中受益，应采取适当的战略，鼓励使用可再生能源。(C)2017年氢能出版有限责任公司。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
This paper examines the relationship between CO2 emissions, renewable energy consumption (RENEC) and economic growth in Tunisia via an Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. Our research question is to what extent renewable energies can be used as an alternative to conventional energies, which are very well known by their strong emissions of greenhouse gases. We use Granger causality tests to check the short and long-run equilibrium relationship. Furthermore, we try to determine the causality direction between these three variables for the Tunisian economy. The results reveal that for the gross domestic product (GDP), CO2 emissions and RENEC are stable in the long-term. However, the Granger causality tests indicate a bidirectional relationship between GDP and CO2 emissions as well as between RENEC and GDP but no relationship between CO2 emissions and RENEC. Thus, to succeed an energy transition project and to benefit from positive impacts on economic growth and environment protection, an appropriate strategy encouraging renewable energy use should be adopted.
