Abstract

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the impact of globalization on environmental degradation in NIC countries. For this purpose, the data of 10 NIC countries covering the period 1970-2016 are included in the analysis. In the study, carbon emission (metric tons per person) was used as the dependent variable and KOF Globalization Index was used as the independent variable. In the study, the long-run relationship between the variables was investigated. As a result of the analyses, a long-run relationship was found between the variables in NIC countries. The panel cointegration model is estimated with the DOLSMG estimator. As a consequence of this analysis, it is found that globalization increases environmental degradation in NIC countries. Then, Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test was conducted and it was observed that there is a bidirectional causality relationship between the variables. Policy recommendations have been put forward within the scope of the findings obtained.

THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION: EVIDENCE FROM NIC COUNTRIES

Abstract

Öz
Bu çalışmada NIC (Newly Industrialized Country) ülkelerinde küreselleşmenin çevresel bozulmaya etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 10 NIC ülkesine ait 1970-2016 dönemini kapsayan veriler analize dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmada bağımlı değişken olarak karbon emisyonu (kişi başına metrik ton), bağımsız değişken olarak ise KOF Küreselleşme Endeksi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişki araştırılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda NIC ülkelerinde değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Panel eşbütünleşme modelinin tahmini ise DOLSMG tahmincisiyle yapılmıştır. Bu analiz sonucunda NIC ülkelerinde küreselleşmenin çevresel bozulmayı artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel nedensellik testi yapılmış ve değişkenler arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda politika önerileri ortaya konulmuştur.
