Data for: The Asymmetric linkage between energy use and economic growth in selected African countries: Evidence from a nonlinear panel autoregressive distributed lag model

This data article refers to the paper entitled “The Asymmetric Linkage between Energy Use and Economic Growth in Selected African Countries: Evidence from a Nonlinear Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model”. The data concern nineteen African countries for the period 1971-2014. The data are extracted from the World Development Indicators database and are related to energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita) and real GDP per capita (Constant 2010 US Dollars). The variables are decomposed in their positive and negative components which are used to measure and to test for asymmetries in the energy use-economic growth nexus.

本数据文章对应题为《部分非洲国家能源消费与经济增长的非对称关联——基于非线性面板自回归分布滞后模型（Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model）的证据》的学术论文。本数据集涵盖1971年至2014年的19个非洲国家。数据提取自世界发展指标（World Development Indicators）数据库，涉及人均能源消费（kg of oil equivalent per capita，即石油当量千克/人）与实际人均GDP（以2010年不变价美元计价，Constant 2010 US Dollars）两项指标。所有变量均被分解为正向与负向分量，用于测度并检验能源消费与经济增长关联中的非对称效应。
