N11 Ülkelerinde Ekolojik Ayak İzi Yakınsaması: Fourier Durağanlık Testinden Yeni Kanıtlar

Abstract

Çevresel kirlilik çalışmalarında kullanılan durağanlık testleri çevresel politikalar belirlemede yardımcı olmaktadır. Çevresel kirlilik göstergesi olarak belli başlı değişkenler bulunmaktadır. Bu değişkenlerden bir tanesi de kapsamlı bir gösterge olan ekolojik ayak izidir. Bu çalışma 1971-2016 döneminde N11 olarak da bilinen yeni endüstrileşen ülkelerde kişi başına düşen ekolojik ayak izinin yakınsamasını test etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla panel Yatay Kesitsel Genişletilmiş Dickey-Fuller birim kök testi ve yeni geliştirilen panel Fourier durağanlık testi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre Endonezya, Pakistan ve Filipinler’de ekolojik ayak izi göstergesi durağan olmaktadır. Bu durum bu ülkelerde yakınsama olduğunu göstermektedir. Türkiye, Bangladeş, Mısır, İran, Meksika, Nijerya, Güney Kore ve Vietnam’da ise çevresel kirlilikte meydana gelen şokların etkisi kalıcı olmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu sekiz ülkede politika yapıcıların çevresel politikaları yeniden düzenlemeleri önem arz etmektedir.
