Abstract: This study analyzes the countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Gulf Cooperation Council and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to test the casual relationship between world energy prices (Brent Oil, West Texas Intermediate, Dubai, Henry Hub (HH), Japan and Russia) and the liquidity level, stock market and industrial production. Augmented Dickey Fuller, Phillips-Perron and Kwiatkowski-PhillipsSchmidt-Shin unit root tests, Johansen cointegration and Granger causality analyses are implemented during the study. The empirical findings indicate that there are multidirectional relationships between the above-mentioned variables. These relationships can be explained by the factors that each country group owns within the framework of their energy sources, financial markets, economic conditions and geographical positions. The data accrued and analyzed in this study is presented as a contribution to guide policymakers, global investors and researchers in constituting an extensive country specific energy, macroeconomic and financial policies.
