In this paper, our objective is to investigate the relationship between natural disasters (droughts, floods, earthquakes, and storms), electricity and other variables macroeconomic for 41 countries over the period 1990?2014. The Panel data and Granger causality-VECM used in this paper over the period 1990?2014. The analysis finds that, the impact of natural disasters is negative and stronger on developing than on developed countries. Second, the test of causality shows that both in short term and long term there is a unidirectional relationship running from disaster measures to electricity consumption. In the long term, we note the existence of a unidirectional causal relationship ranging from disaster measures to GDP per capita.
