AB  - Doğadaki değişim, nüfusun hızlı ve büyük artışı ile birlikte insanoğlu yeryüzünde var olabilmek için yeni yollar bulmayı düşünmek zorunda kalmıştır. Çünkü doğal kaynakların kıtlaşması ve bu kaynaklara özellikle gıda için duyulan ihtiyaç, insan yaşamının devamlılığı için önemli olan doğal kaynakların ve çevresel dengenin korunmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Böylelikle gelecek nesillerin tüketim seviyelerini koruyarak daha iyi bir yaşam elde edileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu durumda eko-etiketli ürünler sürdürülebilir satın alma için yaratıcı fikirlerden biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Eko-etiketli ürünlerin yeşil tüketim eğilimlerine, çevresel ve sürdürülebilir katkıları teşvik etme yeteneğine sahip olduğu düşünülmektedir ve bu durum da üreticilere çevresel performans hakkında fikir vermektir. Bu çalışma, “eko-etiket” terimi sürdürülebilir tüketici davranışı kavramı içinde tanımlanmaya çalışılmış, seçilen OECD ülkeleri, Yunanistan, Portekiz, Türkiye ve Almanya'daki üreticilerin eko-etiketlenebilir tüketimleri analiz etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışma,2010-2024 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. Panel veri analizi kullanılarak eko-etiketli ürün fiyatları bağımsız değişken, GSYİH ise bağımlı değişken olarak alınmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 2010-2024 yılları arasındaki yeşil tüketim kalıpları incelenmiştir. Çalışmamızda panel veri analizi kullanılarak OECD ülkelerinin ekolojik tüketimini içeren geniş bir veri seti kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın bulgularının, ekonomik büyümeyi artırmak için sürdürülebilir ekolojik yöntemler hakkında yeni fikirler üzerinde düşünmek için araştırmacılara rehberlik edeceği düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca yeşil ürünlerin sürdürülebilir ekonomiye olan katkısının önemine vurgu yapan bu çalışma ile literatürün bu alandaki boşluğu dolduracağına inanılmaktadır.

N2  - With the change in nature and the rapid and large increase in population, human beings have had to think about finding new ways to be alive on earth. Because of the scarcity of natural resources and the need for these resources, especially for food, make it necessary to protect natural resources and environmental balance, which are important for the continuity of human life. In this way, it is thought that a better life will be achieved by maintaining the consumption levels of future generations. In this case, eco-labeled products seem to be one of the creative ideas for sustainable purchasing. Eco-labeled products are thought to have the ability to encourage green consumption trends, environmental and sustainable contributions, and this is to give manufacturers insight into environmental performance. This study aims to define the term “eco-label” within the concept of sustainable consumer behavior and aims to analyze the eco-labelable consumption of producers in selected OECD countries, Greece, Portugal, Turkey, and Germany. The study covers the years 2010-2024. Using panel data analysis, eco-labeled product prices are taken as the independent variable and GDP as the dependent variable. For this purpose, green consumption patterns between 2010-2024 are analyzed. Our study uses a large dataset of ecological consumption of OECD countries using panel data analysis. The findings of this study are expected to guide researchers to think about new ideas on sustainable ecological methods to boost economic growth. In addition, this study emphasizes the importance of the contribution of green products to the sustainable economy and is believed to fill the gap in the literature in this field.
