Abstract: The debate on the energy-growth nexus has been revisited widely in the research literature focusing on the causal relationship between energy consumption and Gross Domestic Product. The research stream has not resulted in optimal policy recommendations since the results are ambiguous and mixed. In this study, a wavelet approach with fuzzy regression analysis describes the fuzzy causal relationship between energy consumption and Gross Domestic Product for different timescales of 61 countries between 1990 and 2014. The results allow for policy-making according to the fuzziness description of the data and different timescales. A focused analysis of each country is conducted according to the associated continent and Human Development Index classification to contrast the results.
