Abstract

Climate change is the biggest challenge facing all countries in the world today. Goal 13 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims, among other things, to take urgent action against climate change and its impacts. Part of the decline in global emissions growth is due to increased use of renewable energy. article uses the bootstrap ARDL frontier test to test the relationship between renewable energy consumption and environmental degradation for the Chinese and Indian economies over the period 1990-2019. In our empirical analysis, we use to DOLS technique is used to estimate the long-run coefficients. This result indicates the existence of co-integration in China and India. Long-term estimates show that renewable energy consumption reduces environmental degradation.

ÇİN VE HİNDİSTAN EKONOMİLERİNDE YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ KULLANIMI-ÇEVRESEL BOZULMA İLİŞKİSİ: BİR BOOTSTRAP EŞBÜTÜNLEŞME ANALİZİ

Abstract

İklim değişikliği günümüzde tüm dünya ülkelerinin karşı karşıya olduğu en büyük zorluktur. Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedeflerinin (SKH) 13. hedefi, diğerlerinin yanı sıra, iklim değişikliği ve sonuçlarına karşı acil önlemler alınmasını amaçlamaktadır. Küresel emisyon artışındaki düşüşün bir parçası da yenilenebilir enerji kullanımındaki artış olmuştur. Bu çalışma, Çin ve Hindistan ekonomileri için 1990-2019 döneminde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve çevresel bozulma arasındaki ilişki Bootstrap ARDL sınır testi yöntemiyle analiz etmektedir. Ampirik analizde uzun dönem katsayılarının tahmini için DOLS tekniği kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, Çin ve Hindistan’da eş bütünleşmenin varlığını kanıtlamaktadır. Uzun dönem tahminleri ise yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin çevresel bozulmayı azalttığını göstermektedir.
