Additionally, in the first analysis using 1996:01-2004:04 term’s three months data and in the second analysis using 1980-2004 term annual data we get limitation by time. In the study “energy consumption has a positive effect on the economic growth” hypothesis is tested by the ordinary least squares method and the results are given.
