Abstract

Bu çalışma Türkiye’de 1981-2014 döneminde nüfus
yoğunluğu, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi, finansal gelişme, gelir ve karbon (CO₂)
salımı arasındaki ilişkilerin çevresel Kuznets eğrisi (ÇKE) hipotezi kapsamında
incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. ARDL sınır testi ile tahmin edilen uzun dönem
katsayıları nüfus yoğunluğu, finansal gelişme ve ekonomik büyümenin CO₂
salımını arttırdığını, alternatif enerji tüketiminin ise çevre kalitesi
üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın
sonuçları ayrıca ÇKE hipotezinin Türkiye için geçerli olduğunu belirtmektedir.
Ancak 12,421$ olarak belirlenen dönüm noktası analiz dönemindeki en yüksek kişi
başına düşen gelir düzeyinin üzerinde yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle Türkiye’de
gelir düzeyi arttıkça CO₂ salımı da artmaya devam etmektedir. Yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin bir göstergesi olarak
kullanılan karbonhidrat içermeyen enerji tüketimi, Türkiye için CO₂
salımını azaltmada alternatif bir çözüm olabilir.

THE EFFECT OF RENEWABLE ENERGY CONSUMPTION, POPULATION DENSITY AND FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT ON CO2 EMISSIONS: THE CASE OF TURKEY

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between population
density, renewable energy consumption, financial development, income and carbon
(CO₂) emissions in Turkey covering the period from
1981 to 2014 within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC)
hypothesis. The estimated long-term coefficients obtained by the ARDL bounds
testing approach show that population density, financial development and
economic growth increase CO₂ emissions while alternative energy
consumption have a positive effect on environment quality. The results of this
study also indicate that EKC hypothesis is valid for Turkey. However, the
turning point determined as $12.421 is above the highest per-capita gross
domestic product (GDP) level in the analysis period. Therefore, income level rises
CO₂ emissions continues to increase in Turkey. Non-carbohydrate energy consumption, used as a measure of
renewable energy consumption, may be an alternative solution to reducing CO₂
emissions for Turkey.
