Abstract: Energy is an essential resource for economic development. The study employed the asymmetric ARDL cointegration approach to investigate the impact of energy consumption on economic growth for Vietnam during the period 1971-2017. The finding of the study is that the effects of electricity consumption on economic growth are asymmetric in both the short- and long-run, and the negative changes have a greater effect than the positive changes. At the same time, the impact of petroleum consumption on economic growth is asymmetric in the long-run, and the positive changes have a greater effect than the negative changes. The causality test also indicates the existence of bi-directional causality between energy consumption and economic growth, supported the Feedback hypothesis. Several policy implications are suggested from the obtained result findings.
