Abstract: Energy-Economy Nexus has produced number of papers with incongruent or even contradictory empirical results. In this article the results of over 100 papers are put to scrutiny. In addition to summarized characteristics of the studies' samples, several machine learning algorithms were used to determine whether there is any fundamental causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth found in the studies.
