Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Birliğinde
yer alan Akdeniz Ülkeleri Hırvatistan, Kıbrıs, Fransa, Yunanistan, İtalya,
Malta, Slovenya, İspanya ve Birlik içerisinde yer almayan Türkiye’deki ekonomik
büyüme, karbon emisyonu ve insani gelişmişlik düzeyi arasındaki ilişkinin test
edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Kurulan modelde yer alan değişkenler arasındaki
ilişki, 1998-2014 yılları esas alınarak Panel ARDL yöntemi ile analiz
edilmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, seçilen ülkelerde Kuznets hipotezinin
geçerli olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca yapılan analiz sonucunda, bu
ülkelerdeki insani gelişmişlik endeksi ile karbon emisyonu göstergesi arasında
negatif yönlü bir ilişkinin söz konusu olduğu görülmektedir.

The Relationship Between Economic Growth, Carbon Emission and Human Development: The Case of Selected Mediterranean Countries

Abstract

In this study, in the European Union of Mediterranean Countries in Croatia, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Slovenia, Spain and take part in the union that economic growth in Turkey, aims to test the relationship between carbon emissions and human development level. The relationship between the variables in the model is analyzed by ARDL method based on the years 1998-2014. The results show that the Ecological Kuznets Curve hypothesis is valid in selected countries. In addition, it is seen that there is a negative relationship between Human Development Index and carbon emission indicator in these countries.
