Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, enerji yoğunluğu açısından Türkiye’nin Avrupa Birliği (AB)’ne yakınsamasının analiz edilmesidir. Çalışmada; öncelikle enerji yoğunluğu ile iklim değişikliği arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Daha sonra, 1990-2018 yılları arası yıllık enerji yoğunluğu verileri kullanılarak Türkiye’nin AB ülkelerine ve AB ortalamasına yakınsaması analiz edilmiştir. Analizde, Genişletilmiş Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS), Philips-Perron (PP), NG-Perron ve Fourier ADF birim kök testleri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, enerji yoğunluğu açısından Türkiye’nin İtalya, İspanya ve Portekiz’e yakınsadığı; buna karşılık, Almanya, Birleşik Krallık, Belçika, Fransa, Hollanda, İsveç, Çekya, Polonya, Romanya ve AB ortalamasına yakınsamadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Energy Intensity and Climate Change: Convergence Analysis for Turkey

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze Turkey’s convergence to the European Union (EU) in terms of energy intensity. In the study, first of all the relationship between energy intensity and climate change has been examined. Afterwards, Turkey’s convergence to EU countries and EU average has been analyzed using the annual energy intensity data including the years 1990-2018. In the analysis, Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS), Philips-Perron (PP), NG-Perron and Fourier ADF unit root tests were used. According to the findings obtained, it was concluded that Turkey converges to Italy, Spain, and Portugal with regards to energy intensity, on the other hand doesn’t converge to Germany, United Kingdom, Belgium, France, Holland, Sweden, Czechia, Poland, Romania, and EU average.
