Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çevresel iktisat bağlamında Jevons paradoksu’nun geçerliliğinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Seçilmiş 15 yükselen piyasa ekonomisinin (Arjantin, Bangladeş, Brezilya, Endonezya, Güney Afrika, Hindistan, Kolombiya, Malezya, Meksika, Pakistan, Peru, Romanya, Şili, Tayland, Türkiye) 1990-2017 dönemi verilerinden yararlanılarak ekonometrik bir analiz yöntemi uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Sanayileşmenin ve ekonomik büyümenin çevresel kirlenmeyi artırdığı tespit edilmiş ve çalışma kapsamında Jevons paradoksu’nun geçerliliği doğrulanmıştır.

Özgünlük: Jevons paradoksunun geçerliliği özellikle enerji etkinliği ve tüketimi arasındaki ilişki üzerinden inceleme konusu olmuş buna karşılık çevre üzerinden yapılan incelemeler daha sınırlı kalmıştır. Bu sebeple bu çalışma diğer çalışmalardan çevre bağlamında Jevons paradoksunun geçerliliğinin analiz edilmesinin amaçlanması konusunda ayrışmaktadır.

Does the Jevons Paradox Still Valid? The Example of Emerging Market Economies

Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it is aimed to determine the validity of Jevons paradox in the context of environmental economics.

Methodology: An econometric analysis method is applied by using the data of the selected 15 emerging market economies (Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Colombia, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Romania, Chile, Thailand, Türkiye) for the period of 1990-2017.

Findings: It has been determined that industrialization and economic growth increase environmental pollution and the validity of Jevons paradox has been confirmed within the scope of the study.

Originality: The validity of the Jevons paradox has been the subject of examination, especially on the relationship between energy efficiency and consumption, whereas the studies on the environment have been more limited. For this reason, in this study, unlike other studies, it is aimed to analyze the validity of Jevons paradox in the context of the environment.
