Resumo

The present work aimed to find the causality relations between energy consumption and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and also between the energy offer and GDP in Brazil, during 1970-2007. Following the econometrics proceedings, we observed that the series were non-stationeries in level, however they were stationery in first difference, and also that the series were co-integrated. Using the vector error correction model (VEC) we analyzed the causality of the short and long term. The results suggest the existence of bi-causality between PIB and energy consumption in long term and the unidirectional causality coming from GDP directed to energy consumption. We also suggested the existence of bi-causality between energy offer and GDP in short term, and unidirectional causality of energy offer directed to PIB. These results give important politic implications that can orient the decisions of policy makers in respect of the future energy policy, aiming the Brazilian sustainable economic growth.
