The relationship between energy and employment: A reexamination
This paper presents the results of the authors' statistical tests obtained by applying Granger's and Sims' techniques to an extended sample of monthly total employment, non-farm employment and energy data for the U.S. for the period from January 1973 to 1984. The results from Sims' test suggest that there appeared to be a significant negative causal pattern for the non-farm employment and total energy consumption. However, no causal relationship between total employment and energy consumption was detected. The causal relationships between total or non-farm employment and energy consumption are not significant under Granger's test. Due to the limited observations used, the authors' results pick up mainly the short run rather than the long run effects.
