Abstract

Birleşmiş Milletler Kalkınma Programı raporunda yüksek İnsani Gelişme Endeksine (İGE) sahip ülkelerin sanayileşmiş ülkeler olduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Sanayileşmenin yüksek karbondioksit (CO2) salınımına neden olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu ülkeler aynı zamanda yüksek üretim hacimleri nedeniyle düşük enflasyona sahiptir. Bu bilgiler ışığında çalışma, farklı ülke gruplarında enflasyon, İGE ve CO2 arasındaki karmaşık ilişkiyi ampirik olarak araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada, 1994-2021 yılları arasında ülke grupları (OECD, G20, AB, gelişmiş, yüksek ve düşük gelirli) bazında ilgili alt kırılımlar üzerinden panel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, İGE ile CO2 arasında doğrusal, enflasyon ile CO2 arasında ise ters yönlü bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuş ve politika önerileri sunulmuştur.

The Relationship Between Inflation, Human Development Index and CO2 in Selected Country Groups

Abstract

UNDP report observes that countries with a high Human Development Index (HDI) are industrialized nations. It is well-known that industrialization leads to high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These countries also experience low inflation rates due to their high production volumes. In light of this information, this study aims to empirically investigate the complex relationship between inflation, HDI, and CO2 across different country groups. The study employs panel data analysis over the period from 1994 to 2021, focusing on specific subdivisions within country groups (OECD, G20, EU, developed, high-income, and low-income countries). The results reveal a linear relationship between HDI and CO2 and an inverse relationship between inflation and CO2, providing policy recommendations based on these findings.
