Abstract

Günümüz dünyasında ekonomik büyüme, enerji tüketimi ve karbon
emisyonları ilişkisi enerji ve karbon emisyonları arasında bir denge kurarak
büyümeye devam etmek isteyen tüm ülker için bir çıkar konusudur. Bu araştırma,
Türkiye ve Gürcistan ekonomileri için 1997-2014 yılları arasındak verileri
kullanarak karbon emisyonu, enerji tüketimi ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki
ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri analiz etmek için
panel veri eş-bütünleşme testleri yapılmıştır. Genel bulgu sonuçları, Gürcistan
ve Türkiye ekonomileri için değişkenler arasında önemli bir ilişki olduğunu
göstermektedir. Ayrıca, test sonuçları Çevresel Kuznet Eğrisi hipotezinin genel
varsayımları ile tutarlıdır.

COINTEGRATION BETWEEN CARBON EMISSION, ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON GEORGIA AND TURKEY

Abstract

In today’s world, carbon emissions, energy consumption, and
economic growth are an issue of interest for all countries that want to
continue growing by establishing a balance between energy and carbon emissions.
This brief research investigates the relationship between carbon emissions,
energy consumption and economic growth using data between the years 1997-2014
period for Turkish and Georgian economies. Panel data cointegration tests are
carried to analyze the relationship between variables. The overall finding
results indicate that there is a significant relationship between the variables
for the Georgian and Turkish economies. Moreover, the tests results are
consistent with the general assumption of the Environmental Kuznets Curve
hypothesis.

Keywords
