Abstract: This paper investigates the impact of different sources of CO2 emissions together with electric power consumption on per capita GDP in Côte d’Ivoire with data ranging from 1970 to 2019. We found cointegration relationships between per capita GDP and the variables of interest. CO2 emissions, CO2 emissions from liquid fuel consumption, electric power consumption and investment have positive impact on per capita GDP. A simultaneous increase of electric power consumption and CO2 emissions in the long run has a negative impact on per capita GDP. Causality runs from CO2 emissions, electric power consumption and investment to per capita GDP. In the short run, electric power consumption positively impacts per capita GDP. Labor force has a negative impact on per capita GDP. Causality runs from electric power consumption to per capita GDP. Similar results are obtained when CO2 emissions from liquid fuel consumption are used in place of global CO2 emissions.
