Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 1990-2019 yılları arasında dünya ortalama yıllık yeşil büyüme, kişi başına GSYİH ve kişi başına yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı büyüme hızının üzerinde bir büyüme oranına sahip 11 gelişmekte olan ekonomi için yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının yeşil büyümeye etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 1990-2019 döneminde finansal gelişme, ekonomik entegrasyon, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı ve yeşil büyüme değişkenleri yıllık olarak kullanılmıştır. Yöntem olarak CCEMG ve AMG panel tahmin edicileri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımındaki artışın yeşil büyümeye zarar verdiğini gösterdi. Bunun nedeni, mevcut teknolojilerin ağırlıklı olarak fosil yakıtlarla entegre olması, bu ekonomilerin GSYİH'lerini fosil yakıtlara daha fazla bağımlı hale getirmesi ve küçük ölçekte kullanılan yenilenebilir enerji kullanımının yüksek maliyetler getirmesidir. Ayrıca, enerji ithal eden ekonomiler için artan enerji fiyatları, ekonomilerde kırılganlıklara neden olabilir ve hükümetlerin yenilenebilir enerji politikalarını yavaşlatabilir veya aksatabilir. Öte yandan, artan ekonomik büyüme daha fazla enerji talebine neden olmaktadır. Artan enerji talebinin yüksek oranda fosil yakıtlarla karşılanması, olumsuz dışsallıkları artırmakta ve yeşil büyümeyi olumsuz etkilemektedir.

The Impact of Renewable Energy Use on Green Growth: The Case of Emerging Economies

Abstract

In this study, the effect of renewable energy use on green growth is investigated for 11 emerging economies with a growth rate higher than the world average annual green growth, per capita GDP, and per capita renewable energy use growth rate in 1990-2019. For this purpose, the variables of financial development, economic integration, use of renewable energy, and green growth were used annually in the 1990-2019 period. CCEMG and AMG panel estimators were used as a method. The findings showed that the increase in the use of renewable energy hurts green growth. This is because existing technologies are predominantly integrated with fossil fuels, making the GDPs of these economies more dependent on fossil fuels, and the use of renewable energy, which is used on a small scale, brings high costs. In addition, rising energy prices for energy-importing economies may cause vulnerabilities in economies and slow down or hinder governments' renewable energy policies. On the other hand, increasing economic growth causes more energy demand. Meeting the increasing energy demand with fossil fuels at a high rate increases negative externalities and negatively affects green growth.
