Abstract

In the economic literature, the relationship between economic growth, exports and CO2 is a matter of importance The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-run relationship among economic growth, export and CO2 emissions in Brazil, China, India, South Africa and Turkey for the period 1960-2013 by using panel cointegration tests. The causality relationship between the variables was analyzed using the Konya 2006 test. In the study real GDP per capita, export GDP % and CO2 emisisions metric tones variables are used. As a result of the study, there was no long relationship between the variables. According to the results of causality, mixed results were obtained according to the countries. For S.Africa and Turkey uni-direction Granger relationship from export to CO2 was found. However, for Brazil, China and India there was no causality relationship between export and CO2. The results support the view that the export sectors of G. Africa and Turkey are predominantly based on polluting industries

EKONOMİK BÜYÜME, İHRACAT VE C02 ARASINDAKİ EŞBÜTÜNLEŞME İLİŞKİSİ: BRICS VE TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

İktisat literatüründe ekonomik büyüme, ihracat ve CO2 arasındaki ilişki önemini koruyan bir konudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Brezilya, Çin, Hindistan, Güney Afrika ve Türkiye’nin 1960-2013 dönemi için ekonomik büyüme, ihracat ve CO2 emisyonu arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkiyi panel eşbütünleşme testleri kullanılarak incelemektir. Değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Konya 2006 testi kullanarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada kişi başına reel gayri safi yurtiçi hâsıla, ihracat %GSYİH ve kişi başına CO2 emisyonu metrik ton değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişki bulunamamıştır. Nedensellik sonuçlarına göre ise ülkelere göre karma sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. G. Afrika ve Türkiye için ihracattan CO2 emisyonuna doğru tek yönlü Granger nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Ancak Brezilya, Çin, Hindistan için ise ihracat ve CO2 arasında nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar G. Afrika ve Türkiye’nin ihracat sektörlerinin ağırlıklı olarak kirlilik yaratan endüstrilere dayandığı görüşünü destekler niteliktedir
