YENİLENEBİLİR VE YENİLENMEYEN ENERJİ TÜKETİMİNİN SEÇİLMİŞ OECD ÜLKELERİNİN EKONOMİK BÜYÜME ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

Ekonomik süreçlerin büyüme ve şekillenmesindeki enerji kaynaklarının önemi ve bu kıymetli kaynakların değerlendirme gerekçesi, çeşitli enerji kaynaklarının tanımı ve incelenmesini önemli kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, enerji (yenilenebilir ve yenilenmeyen ayrımı ile) tüketimi, beşeri ve fiziki sermaye ve AR-GE harcamalarının etkilerini, 2001-2009 yıllar arası, seçilmiş 21 OECD ülkesinin ekonomik büyüme üzerine incelemektir. Ayrıca, sonuçların ayrıntılarını detaylı bir şekilde ele almak için, yenilenebilir ve yenilenemeyen enerji tüketiminin etkilerini ayrı ayrı incelemenin yanı sıra toplam enerji tüketiminin (yenilenebilir ve yenilenemeyen enerji tüketimi toplamı) etkileri de incelenmiştir. Değişkenlerin etkilerini belirlemek için Genelleştirilmiş En Küçük Kareler (GLS) yöntemi ele alınarak panel veri ekonomik teknik kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, diğer değişkenlerin (beşeri sermaye, fiziki sermaye ve AraştırmaGeliştirme (R&D) harcamalarının yanı sıra yenilenebilir, yenilenemeyen enerji tüketimi, seçilmiş OECD ülkelerinin ekonomik büyümesi üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, toplam enerji tüketiminin seçilmiş OECD ülkelerinin ekonomik büyümesi üzerindeki pozitif ve anlamlı etkisi tespit edilmiştir.

THE EFFECT OF RENEWABLE AND NON-RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH OF SELECTED OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract

The importance of energy resources in the growth and formation of economic processes and also the reason for the evaluation of these valuable resources, make it important to recognize and analyse of various energy sources. The main purpose of this study is to examine the effects of energy (with renewable and non-renewable distinction) consumption, human and physical capital and Research and Development (R&D) expenditures over the period 2001-2009 on the economic growth of selected 21 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. In addition, in order to elaborate the details of the results, in addition to examining the effects of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption separately, the effects of total energy consumption (sum of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption) were also examined. To determine the effects of variables, considering the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method, Panel data econometric technique is used. According to the results of the study, beside other variables (human capital, physical capital and Research and Development (R&D) expenditures, renewable, non-renewable energy consumption have positive and significant effects on economic growth of selected OECD countries. Also, positive and significant effect of total energy consumption on economic growth of selected OECD countries has been approved.
