Abstract

The research examines the causal relationship between foreign direct investment, economic growth, population growth, urbanization rate, renewable energy consumption, globalization factors, and ecological footprint in Türkiye between 1980 and 2020. As a consequence of the analyses, it is found that there is a bidirectional causality between ecological footprint and foreign direct investment. Similarly, between globalization and Ecological Footprint, a bidirectional causality was found. While a unidirectional causality was observed from economic growth to ecological footprint, a unidirectional relationship was determined from population growth to ecological footprint.

TÜRKİYE’NİN EKOLOJİK AYAK İZİNE ETKİ EDEN FAKTÖRLERİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Çalışmanın temel amacı, 1980-2020 yılları arasında Türkiye’de doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar, ekonomik büyüme, nüfus artışı, kentleşme oranı, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve küreselleşme faktörleri ile ekolojik ayak izi arasındaki nedensellik ilişkilerini incelemektir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, ekolojik ayak izi ile doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar arasında çift yönlü nedensellik olduğu bulgusu elde edilmiştir. Benzer şekilde, küreselleşme ile ekolojik ayak izi arasında da çift yönlü nedensellik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ekonomik büyümeden ekolojik ayak izine doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik gözlemlenirken, nüfus artışından ekolojik ayak izine doğru da tek yönlü bir ilişki belirlenmiştir.
