Abstract

The increase in carbon emissions is the most important cause of environmental pollution The carbon emission rates has a specific effect on many environmental factors, especially climate change. It is an important fact to increase the share of environmental technologies in order to reduce carbon emissions and prevent global warming in countries. With their economic performance, high growth rate, industrialization policies and efforts, carbon emissions in BRICS and MIST countries are also high. Within the scope of the study, the relationship between CO2 emission and emission determining factors for MIST and BRICS countries, second generation panel data analysis estimation methods has been researched between 1990-2018. According to the results obtained; In both country groups, the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis is valid. While GDP per capita increases by 1.9% in MIST countries, this increase is 1.1% in BRICS countries. The effect of globalization; While it was positive and significant in BRICS countries, it was negative and significant in MIST countries. Energy use increases the carbon emissions of both country groups. In MIST countries, openness is meaningless, whereas in BRICS countries, openness reduces carbon emissions.

MIST ve BRICS ülkelerinde Uluslararası Ticaret, Küreselleşme ve Fosil Enerji Kullanımı Çevresel Bozulmayı Nasıl Etkiliyor?: Panel Veri Analizi Tahmini

Abstract

Karbon emisyonundaki artış, çevre kirliliğinin en önemli sebeplerden biridir. Karbon emisyon oranları, iklim değişikliği gibi çevresel faktörler üzerinde belirgin derecede etkiye sahiptir. Ülkelerde karbon emisyonunun azaltılması ve küresel ısınmanın önlenmesi amacıyla çevre teknolojilerinin payının arttırılması önemli bir gerçektir. Gösterdikleri ekonomik performans, yüksek büyüme hızı, sanayileşme politikaları ve çabaları ile BRICS ve MIST ülkelerindeki karbon emisyonu da yüksektir. Çalışma kapsamında MIST ile BRICS ülkeleri için CO2 emisyonu ve emisyonu belirleyen faktörler arasındaki ilişki, 1990-2018 yılları arasında ikinci nesil panel veri analizi tahmin yöntemleri ile araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçları göre; her iki ülke grubunda Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezi geçerlidir. MIST ülkelerinde kişi başına düşen milli gelir emisyonu % 1.9 oranında artırırken, BRICS ülkelerinde bu artış %1.1’dir. Küreselleşmenin etkisi; BRICS ülkelerinde pozitif ve anlamlı iken, MIST ülkelerinde negatif ve anlamlı olarak elde edilmiştir. Enerji kullanımı her iki ülke grubunun da karbon emisyonunu artırmaktadır. MIST ülkelerinde dışa açıklık anlamsız, BRICS ülkelerinde ise dışa açıklık karbon emisyonunu azaltmaktadır.
