Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı 1980-2017 yılları arası Katar’da ekolojik ayak izi ve alt bileşenlerinin durağanlığını incelemektir.

Yöntem: Katar’da ekolojik ayak izi ve alt bileşenlerinin durağanlığı kesirli frekanslı Fourier ADF ve ADF birim kök testleri ile analiz edilmiştir.

Bulgular: Kesirli frekanslı Fourier ADF test bulgularına göre inşaat alanları ayak izi, karbon salımı ayak izi ve toplam ekolojik ayak izi değişkenlerinin durağan olduğu tespit edilmiştir. ADF test bulgularına göre tarım alanı ve otlak alan ayak izi değişkenlerinin durağan olduğu, balıkçılık alanları ve orman ürünleri ayak izi değişkenlerinin ise birim köklü olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Özgünlük: Ekolojik ayak izi ve alt bileşenlerinin durağanlığının araştırıldığı çalışmalarda elde edilen sonuçlar bu alanda bir uzlaşı olmadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca literatürde Katar için doğrudan ekolojik ayak izinin durağanlığının incelendiği herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Katar için ekolojik ayak izi ve alt bileşenlerinin durağanlıklarının güncel analiz yöntemleri ile test edildiği ilk araştırma olarak bu çalışmanın literatüre katkı sunması beklenmektedir.

Testing the Stationarity of per Capita Ecological Footprint and Its Sub-Components: Fractional Frequency Fourier Unit Root Analysis

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze the stationarity of the ecological footprint and its sub-components in Qatar between 1980 and 2017.

Methodology: The stationarity of ecological footprint and its sub-components in Qatar were analyzed by the fractional frequency Fourier ADF and ADF unit root tests.

Findings: According to the fractional frequency Fourier ADF test findings, it has been determined that the built-up land footprint, carbon emission footprint and total ecological footprint variables are stationary. According to the ADF test findings, however, it has been determined that the variables of cropland footprint and grazing land footprint are stationary, and the variables of fishing grounds footprint and forest land footprint are unit rooted.

Originality: The results obtained in studies investigating the stationarity of the ecological footprint and its sub-components indicate that there is no consensus in this field. Besides, no study has been found in the literature that directly investigates the stationarity of the ecological footprint for Qatar. As being the first study in which the stationarity of the ecological footprint and sub-components is tested with modern analysis methods for Qatar, it is expected that this study will contribute to the literature.
