FİNANSAL YENİLİĞİN ÇEVRESEL KALİTE, YEŞİL TEKNOLOJİK YENİLİK VE YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ ÜRETİMİNE ETKİSİ: OECD ÜLKELERİNDEN KANITLAR

Abstract

Bu çalışma, finansal yeniliğin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik, yeşil teknoloji alanındaki gelişmeler ve yenilenebilir enerji üretimi üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. 2009–2021 dönemini kapsayan ve 18 OECD ülkesine ait yıllık verilerin kullanıldığı analizde, Panel Düzeltmeli Standart Hatalar (PCSE), Westerlund-Edgerton LM Bootstrap eşbütünleşme testleri ve Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel nedensellik testlerinden yararlanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, finansal yeniliğin çevresel kaliteyi anlamlı düzeyde artırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, finansal yeniliğin yeşil teknolojik gelişmeleri teşvik ederek çevre dostu teknolojilerin gelişimini desteklediği gözlemlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, finansal yeniliğin yenilenebilir enerji üretimini artırmada da kritik bir rol oynadığı belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, çevresel sürdürülebilirliğin geliştirilmesi ve yeşil yatırımların teşvik edilmesi yönünde politika geliştirmeyi amaçlayan karar alıcılar için önemli çıkarımlar sunmaktadır. Çalışma, finansal yeniliğin yeşil teknoloji ve yenilenebilir enerji sektörlerindeki büyümeyi hızlandırarak hem çevresel hem de ekonomik ilerlemeyi destekleme potansiyeline sahip olduğunu vurgulamaktadır.

The Impact of Financial Innovation on Environmental Quality, Green Technological Innovation and Renewable Energy Production: Evidence from OECD Countries

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of financial innovation on environmental sustainability, advancements in green technology, and the generation of renewable energy. Utilizing annual data from 18 OECD countries spanning 2009 to 2021, the analysis employs Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE), Westerlund-Edgerton LM Bootstrap Cointegration tests, and Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality tests. The findings reveal that financial innovation significantly enhances environmental quality. Moreover, it is observed that financial innovation stimulates green technological advancements, fostering the development of eco-friendly technologies. Additionally, financial innovation plays a pivotal role in boosting renewable energy production. These results offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to advance environmental sustainability and promote green investments. The study highlights the potential of financial innovation to drive both environmental and economic progress by accelerating growth in green technology and renewable energy sectors
