Günümüz literatüründe hem gelişmiş hem de gelişmekte olan ekonomilerde çevresel bozulmayla
mücadele ve sürdürülebilir büyüme konusu aktif bir şekilde takip edilmektedir. Azerbaycan, bağımsızlığını
kazandığı günden bugüne hızla büyüyen bir ekonomidir ve büyümenin temel kaynaklarından biri enerji
sektörüdür. Bu nedenle Azerbaycan’da çevresel bozulma oldukça yüksektir ve ekolojik açıklığın azaltılması
büyük önem taşımaktadır. Çalışmada, 1996-2022 dönemi baz alınarak Azerbaycan’da inovasyonun ve
sanayileşmenin çevresel bozulma üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmaktadır. Uzun ve kısa dönem ilişkiyi tahmin
etmek için ARDL eşbütünleşme yöntemi, nedenselliği belirlemek için Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik analizi
uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak Azerbaycan’da çevre politikalarının geliştirilmesi, AR-GE harcamalarının
sürdürülebilirlikle uyumlu hale getirilmesi, çevreci teknolojilere yatırım yapılması ve yeşil ekonominin
teşviklerle desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.

THE IMPACT OF INNOVATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IN AZERBAIJAN
Year 2024,
Volume: 20 Issue: 4, 1147 - 1160, 31.12.2024
In contemporary literature, the pursuit of sustainable growth and the fight against environmental
degradation are actively monitored in both developed and developing economies. Azerbaijan, an economy
that has rapidly expanded since gaining independence, relies significantly on its energy sector as one of
the primary drivers of growth. Consequently, environmental degradation in Azerbaijan is substantial,
making the reduction of ecological deficits highly important. This study examines the impact of innovation
and industrialization on environmental degradation in Azerbaijan, based on data from the period 1996–
2022. To estimate both long- and short-term relationships, the ARDL cointegration method is applied,
and causality is assessed using the Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis. The results highlight the need to
enhance environmental policies in Azerbaijan, align R&D expenditures with sustainability goals, invest
in eco-friendly technologies, and support the green economy through targeted incentives.
