中文摘要：

能源是一国经济增长的重要基石，然而，随着工业化进程的加快，中国能源消费和经济增长的矛盾日益突出，因此，对二者间关系的探讨成为经济学研究的一个热点话题。但是由于研究选取的国家不同、时间序列选取的不同以及所采用的检验方法不同，所得到的结论也存在着很大差异。本文在对数据进行平稳化处理的基础上，采用E—G两步法对1953—2008年间中国能源消费和经济增长之间的关系进行了协整分析和格兰杰因果检验，通过研究得出如下结论：虽然短期内仍存在波动，但从长期来看，经济增长和能源消费之间存在长期协整关系，且存在从能源消费到经济增长的单向因果关系。

英文摘要：

Energy consumption plays an important role in economic development. With the industrialization increasingly quick- ens, the conflict between energy consumption and economic growth becomes more and more prominent. The relatiouship between energy consumption and economic growth is one of the key issues in the economic research field. However, the research results will change with different samples, different time intervals, and different testing approaches. Based on the E - G two steps metheds, the cointegration analysis and Granger causality estimation are conducted to test the relationship between China＇ s energy consumption and economic growth based on the data in the period of 1953 - 2008. The results show that although some short - run fluctuation exists, there is a stable equilibrium relation between them in the long - run. In addition, the single - direction causality from energy consumption to economic growth is found.
