An Empirical Study on the Impact of Urbanization on Environmental Quality in Turkey

Abstract

The relationship between urbanization and the environment has recently attracted researchers' attention. In many countries, additional energy consumption caused by urbanization increases CO2 emissions and leads to environmental pollution. This study aims to test the impact of urbanization on environmental quality in Turkey. For analysis, the study employs Fourier ARDL bounds testing approach for 1965-2020. FARDL results reveal a long-term cointegration relationship between the variables. The FARDL-based long-term coefficient estimation model is applied to examine the effect of independent variables on CO2 emissions in the long run. Estimation results show that economic growth and urbanization increase environmental pollution by increasing CO2 emissions in Turkey. Overall results prove that Turkey should implement long-term sustainable urbanization strategies.
