碩士 === 國立高雄科技大學 === 國際企業系 === 107 === The purpose of this paper is to explore the economic growth, thermal power generation and renewable energy generation in Taiwan from 1951 to 2018, and changes in nuclear energy and economic growth between 1977 and 2018 through unit root test, cointegration test, vector error correction model, vector autoregression model and granger causality test. The empirical results show that Taiwan's renewable energy power generation will affect economic growth, but economic growth will not affect renewable energy power generation. Therefore, there is a one-way causality relationship between renewable energy power generation and economic growth. Thermal power generation will affect economic growth. Therefore, there is a one-way causality relationship between thermal power generation and economic growth. Nuclear power generation does not affect the economic growth, so there is no causal relationship. Therefore, through this empirical finding, Taiwan's energy conservation policies or other energy-related strategies adopted in the short term will not have an immediate impact on its economic growth.
