Abstract

The aim of this study is to test whether there
is any kind of causality between carbon emissions- energy consumption and
economic growth in the newly formation of countries; Mexico, Indonesia, South
Korea and Turkey (MIST). With this target in mind, per capita carbon emission,
per capita energy consumption, and per capita gross domestic product data has
been analyzed in line with Johansen Cointegration and Granger Causality Test
between the years of 1971-2010.According to the results, it has revealed that
there is a one-way causality from economic growth to carbon emissions and
energy consumption, in other words, carbon emission and energy consumption are
not causes of economic growth.

Karbon Emisyonu Ve Enerji Tüketiminin Büyüme Üzerindeki Etkileri: MIST Ülkeleri Karşılaştırması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, yeni bir uluslararası
oluşum olan Meksika, Endonezya, Güney Kore ve Türkiye (MIST) ülkelerinde,
karbon emisyonu ve enerji tüketimi ile ekonomik büyüme arasında nedensellik
ilişkisini test etmektir. Bu amaçla, MIST ülkelerinin 1971-2010 dönemi için, kişi başına düşen karbondioksit emisyonu, enerji tüketimi ve Gayrisafi Yurt
İçi Hasıla yıllık verileri kullanılarak, Johansen Eşbütünleşme ve Granger
Nedensellik Testi yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, MIST ülkelerinde
ekonomik büyümeden karbon emisyonu ve enerji tüketimine doğru tek yönlü bir
nedensellik olduğu yani karbon emisyonu ve enerji tüketiminin büyümenin nedeni
olmadığı bulgusu elde edilmiştir.
