  AUTHORS: Hermann Clachel Lekana

  KEYWORDS: Energy Consumption, Economic Growth, Governance, Sub-Saharan Africa

  JOURNAL NAME: Modern Economy, Vol.11 No.11, November 24, 2020

  ABSTRACT: The objective of this paper is to analyze the role of governance quality on the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption in a panel of twenty (20) sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries over a period from 1996 to 2017. Techniques such as the generalized method of moments (GMM) in dynamics and the Granger test were utilized. The results of the estimations show that energy consumption is an essential factor in the economic growth of SSA countries and that the quality of governance is a catalyst of this relationship. The policy implications of these results are elaborated.
