Abstract
The paper aimsat investigating the nexus relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in Jordan using annual data over the period 1976-2013 by employingAutoregressive Distributed Lagged (ARDL) model. The cointegration results provide evidence on the existence of long-run equilibrium relationship among model variables. The ARDL long-run estimation results revealed a significant positive impact of energy consumption on economic growth. The negative and significant signs of error-correction termsindicatelong-run bidirectional causality between energy consumption and economic growth. The Granger-Causality test within VECM framework (Wald F-test) indicates bidirectional strong and weak short-run causality between all variables.
