Yenilenebilir Enerji ve Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar: Türkiye Örneği

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı doğrudan yabancı yatırımların yenilenebilir enerji üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla Türkiye ekonomisi analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada Johansen eşbütünleşme yöntemi ve Hacker - Hatemi (2006) bootstrap nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Eşbütünleşme testi sonucuna göre doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve yenilenebilir enerji arasında uzun dönem ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Ayrıca doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve yenilenebilir enerji arasında nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir. Ulaşılan bu bulgulara göre, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar teknolojik yayılım ya da çevre kirliliği kanalıyla yenilenebilir enerjiyi etkileyemeyecektir. Bu durumda doğrudan yabancı yatırımlardaki artışlar yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi üzerinde olumlu ya da olumsuz bir etki yaratmayacaktır.

Renewable Energy and Foreign Direct Investment: The Case of Turkey

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of foreign direct investments on renewable energy. To this end, Turkey's economy is analyzed. The Johansen cointegration method and Hacker - Hatemi (2006) bootstrap causality test are used in this study. According to the cointegration test results, there is no long-term relationship between foreign direct investments and renewable energy. Additionally, the causality relationship between foreign direct investments and renewable energy could not be determined. According to these findings, foreign direct investments will not affect renewable energy through technological diffusion or environmental pollution. Therefore, in this case, the increase in foreign direct investments will not positively or negatively impact renewable energy consumption. 

Keywords

• Renewable energy
• Foreign direct investments
