Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 1995-2017 döneminde seçilmiş OECD ülkeleri için çevre koruma harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme ve gelir eşitsizliği arasındaki ilişkiler Emirmahmutoğlu ve Köse (2011) ve Kónya (2006) panel nedensellik testleri ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, çevre koruma harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında çevre koruma harcamalarından ekonomik büyümeye doğru bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu ve çevre koruma harcamaları ve gelir eşitsizliği arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu bulguları elde edilmiştir.

The Dynamic Relationships between Environmental Protection Expenditures, Income Inequality and Economic Growth: Panel Causality Approach for Selected OECD Countries

Abstract

In this study, relationships between environmental protection expenditures, income inequality, and economic growth were examined for selected OECD countries for the period 1995–2017 using Emirmahmutoğlu and Kose (2011), and Kónya (2006) panel causality tests. When the results obtained from the study are evaluated in general, it has been found that there is a causality relationship between environmental protection expenditures and economic growth from environmental protection expenditures to economic growth and there is a bidirectional causality relationship between environmental protection expenditures and income inequality.
