The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact gas production, use and flaring on economic growth Republic Congo during period 2006-2019. results unit root test reveal that bulk variables are stationary at level therefore integrated order zero, however, labor input which first difference one. Johansen cointegration shows all time series cointegrated have a long-run equilibrium relationship. We also perform Granger-causality proves only production utilization cause in our study. OLS regressions suggest impacts adversely significantly GDP while stimulates GDP.
