Abstract

In this study, which aims at researching the income-based perspective of convergence hypothesis in terms of energy use as both cause and result of development; energy consumption has been used as an indicator of living standards, while industrial energy consumption has been used for distribution of production forces. Analyses conducted for period between 2007-2017, it has been detected that both absolute and conditional convergence mechanisms in terms of both total consumption values and industrial consumption values operate on the basis of provinces in Turkey. It was found that the improvements from the provinces to their neighbours possess a spillover effect.

Mekânsal Panel Veri Analizleri Vasıtasıyla, Enerji Tüketiminde Yakınsamanın İl Düzeyinde Tespiti: Türkiye Örneği

Abstract

Yakınsama hipotezinin gelir temelli bakış açısının, kalkınmanın hem nedeni hem de sonucu olarak enerji kullanımı açısından incelenmesi amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada; enerji tüketimi yaşam standardının bir göstergesi olarak, sanayi enerji tüketimi ise üretim güçlerinin dağılımı amacıyla kullanılmıştır. 2007-2017 arası dönem için yapılan analizlerde hem toplam tüketim hem de sanayi tüketim değerleri açısından gerek mutlak gerekse koşullu yakınsama mekanizmasının Türkiye’de iller bazında işlediği tespit edilmiştir. Mekânsal değişkenler vasıtası ile de illerden komşularına doğru iyileşmelerin yayılma etkisi ortaya çıkardığı görülmüştür.
