Abstract
This paper examines the causality between residential CO2 emissions, population, urbanization, economic growth and residential energy intensity in Morocco from 1990 to 2016 by using the Toda-Yamamoto and Granger causality tests. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds-test approach are employed to test for cointegration relationship. The results show that there is a stable long run relationship amongst the variables. The causality tests reveal that there is a unidirectional Granger causality from residential energy intensity to residential CO2 emissions. Also, we found that population and economic growth does not directly affect the CO2 emissions of the residential sector. They pass through residential energy intensity to indirectly explain the dynamics of RCO2 emissions in Morocco.
