The results confirm that a stable, long-run relationship exists between electricity prices and economic growth. The empirical results show that there is a unique negative long-run relationship between electricity prices and economic growth. We find that higher electricity prices have a negative impact on economic growth. This indicates that as electricity prices increase, aggregate output in the economy will become constricted thereby reducing gross domestic product and thus reducing economic growth in South Africa.enTECHNOLOGY::Industrial engineering and economy::Industrial organisation, administration and economicsThesis
