Enerji ve Büyümenin Çevre Kirliliğine Etkisi: AB Ülkeleri İçin Panel Veri Analizi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, AB ülkeleri için ekonomik büyümenin ve enerji tüketiminin çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkisi 2000-2015 dönemi yıllık veriler kullanılarak panel veri analiziyle araştırılmıştır. Değişken olarak kişi başı GSYH, kişi başı enerji tüketimi ve kişi başı karbondioksit emisyonun alındığı model tahmin edilmiştir. Panel veri analizi yöntemiyle elde edilen sonuçlara göre enerji tüketiminin çevre üzerindeki etkisi pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır.

The Impact of Economic Growth on Environmental Pollution: Panel Data Analysis for EU Countries

Öz

In this study, the impact of economic growth end energy consumption for EU countries on environmental pollution was tested using the annual data for the period 2000-2015 using panel data analysis. As a variable, per capita GDP, per capita energy consumption and per capita carbon dioxide emissions were used and a model was estimated. According to the empirical analysis results obtained by panel data method, the effect of energy consumption on the environment is positive and statistically significant.
