EKONOMİK KOMPLEKSİTE VE ÇEVRESEL BOZULMA İLİŞKİSİ: ARKTİK KONSEYİ ÜLKELERİ ÜZERİNE EKONOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ

Abstract

Adam Smith’ten günümüze ekonomik büyüme literatürü ülkeler arasındaki ekonomik gelişmişlik düzeyindeki farklılıkların nedenlerini araştırmıştır. Ekonomik büyüme literatüründe içsel büyüme teorileri bu farklılıkları açıklamaya çalışırken ekonomik kompleksite kavramı bu farklılık düzeyini ölçmeyi amaçlamakta ve karmaşıklık düzeyi arttıkça iktisadi gelişmenin de artacağını savunmaktadır. Bu çalışma söz konusu büyüme-karmaşıklık ilişkisi ile büyüme-çevresel bozulma ilişkisini birleştiren oldukça yeni literatüre bir katkı olarak yer almaktadır. Arktik konseyi ülke grubu için yapılan ampirik çalışmamızda bulgular ekonomik kompleksite düzeyinin çevresel bozulma üzerinde belirleyici olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu belirleyiciliğin yönü ise ekonomik kompleksitedeki artışlar karbon salınımlarını artırarak çevre üzerinde negatif bir etki bırakmaktadır.

THE RELATION OF ECONOMIC COMPLEXITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE ARCTIC COUNCIL

Abstract

The causes of the disparities in economic development levels between nations have been examined in economic growth literature from Adam Smith to the present. While endogenous growth theories in the literature attempt to explain these disparities, the idea of economic complexity seeks to quantify them and contends that economic development would rise along with level of complexity. The growth-complexity and growth-environmental degradation relationships are combined in this work as a contribution to the relatively new field. The results of our empirical study for the Arctic Council nation group demonstrate that environmental deterioration is influenced by the degree of economic complexity. This decisiveness points in the direction that rising economic complexity causes an increase in carbon emissions and harms the environment.
