Bireysel İnternet Kullanımı, Finansal Gelişme ve Elektrik Tüketimi İlişkisinin Fourier Augmented ARDL Yaklaşımıyla Analizi: Güney Kore Örneği

Abstract

Dijitalleşme ve teknolojik gelişmeler, bireylerin ve ülkelerin sadece bilgiye erişim şekillerini değil aynı zamanda enerji tüketim kalıplarını da derinden etkilemektedir. Bu dönüşüm sürecinde internet kullanımı ve finansal gelişme gibi unsurların elektrik tüketimi üzerindeki etkilerinin dikkate alınması ekonomik ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmanın amacı, 1990-2023 döneminde Güney Kore'de finansal gelişme ve internet kullanımının elektrik tüketimi üzerindeki etkilerinin Fourier Augmented ARDL (FAARDL) yöntemini kullanarak incelemektir. Çalışmanın bulguları, elektrik tüketimi, bireysel internet kullanımı, finansal gelişme ve ekonomik büyüme değişkenleri arasında uzun vadeli bir eşbütünleşme ilişkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. FAARDL sonuçları, uzun vadede internet kullanımı, finansal gelişme ve büyümede meydana gelen artışın elektrik tüketimini artırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma bağlamında elde edilen bulgular, bireysel internet kullanımı ve finansal gelişmenin enerji talebini artırdığını ortaya koyarak, sürdürülebilir enerji politikalarının oluşturulmasında bu unsurların dikkate alınmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Finansal gelişme ve internet kullanımının elektrik tüketimi üzerindeki etkilerini Güney Kore örneği üzerinden inceleyen bu çalışma, teknoloji yoğun ekonomiler için enerji tüketim dinamikleri konusunda önemli çıkarımlar sağlayarak literatüre katkıda bulunmaktadır.

Analysis of the Relationship between Individual Internet Usage, Financial Development, and Electricity Consumption Using Fourier Augmented ARDL Approach: South Korea Example

Abstract

Digitalization and technological advancements have a profound impact not only on how individuals and countries access information but also on their energy consumption patterns. Considering the impacts of factors such as internet use and financial development on electricity consumption during this transformation process is crucial for economic and environmental sustainability. This study aims to examine the impacts of financial development and internet use on electricity consumption in South Korea during the 1990-2023 period using the Fourier Augmented ARDL (FAARDL) method. The findings indicate a long-term cointegration relationship among electricity consumption, individual internet use, financial development, and economic growth. The FAARDL results reveal that in the long run, increases in internet use, financial development, and growth increase electricity consumption. The findings of this study reveal that individual internet use and financial development increase energy demand, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in the development of sustainable energy policies. By examining the impacts of financial development and internet use on electricity consumption through the example of South Korea, this study contributes to the literature by providing important implications regarding energy consumption dynamics for technology-intensive economies.
