Abstract: This paper investigates the relationship between economic growth and energy consumption in European transition countries. Cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag and cross-sectionally augmented distributed lag models were used in the paper to investigate the relationship, while robustness was checked using several different estimators. The results confirm a positive relationship between the variables. Growth of the gross domestic product will lead to an increase in energy consumption in the long run, so transition countries should work on creating new sources of energy and improving energy efficiency. Policies based on limiting energy consumption can have a negative impact on economic growth.
