A panel data analysis on the energy consumption and growth relation

In this study, panel data analysis was conducted for 33 OECD countries on the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth by using the data set between 1995 and 2015. LLC, IPS and Fisher ADF-PP unit root tests were tested for stationarities of the series. Since the cross-sectional dependence between the units was determined by Breusch Pagan test. Pesaran CADF test and second generation panel unit root test were applied. Pedroni cointegration test showed that the two variables were significantly related to each other in the long term. PMG and MG estimation methods for long and short term prediction models are based on linear model and nonlinear model. As a result of the empirical analysis, it was concluded that the feedback hypothesis was valid for 33 OECD countries. It has been determined that energy consumption and economic growth variables are affected from each other.
