This paper investigates the short term and long term relation between Co2 emissions, electricity consumption and industrialization in case of Iran over the period 1980-2011. To estimate this relationship The Granger Causality Test, Johansen cointegration test and Vector Error Correction Model are applied.
Granger Causality analysis indicates that in short-run there is a bilateral causal relationship between Co2 emissions and electricity consumption, and a bilateral causal relationship between Co2 emissions and industry value added. But Granger Causality analysis didn't show any causal relationship between the industry value added and electricity consumption variables. The effects of the electricity consumption and industrialization on Co2 emissions is positive in long-term.

Abstract
This paper investigates the short term and long term relation between Co2 emissions, electricity consumption and industrialization in case of Iran over the period 1980-2011. To estimate this relationship The Granger Causality Test, Johansen cointegration test and Vector Error Correction Model are applied.
Granger Causality analysis indicates that in short-run there is a bilateral causal relationship between Co2 emissions and electricity consumption, and a bilateral causal relationship between Co2 emissions and industry value added. But Granger Causality analysis didn't show any causal relationship between the industry value added and electricity consumption variables. The effects of the electricity consumption and industrialization on Co2 emissions is positive in long-term.
Author Keywords: Industrialization, Electricity Consumption, Co2 Emissions, Iran.
