Çalışmanın amacı, 1990-2019 dönemi için BRICS-T ülkelerinde kamu borcunun yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi üzerindeki uzun dönemli etkisinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada kamu borcu ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkinin tahmin edilmesinde Westerlund eş bütünleşme testi ve Driscoll-Kray standart hatalara sahip regresyon modeli, nedensellik ilişkisinin incelenmesinde Dumitrescu- Hurlin nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular, BRICS-T ülkelerinde kamu borcunun yenilenebilir enerji tüketimini olumsuz olarak etkilediğini, bununla birlikte finansal gelişmenin yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi üzerinde pozitif bir katkı sağladığı ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma bulguları, politika yapıcıların BRICS-T ülkelerinde çevresel kaliteyi artıracak ve enerji güvenliğini güçlendirecek daha etkin yenilenebilir enerji politikaları geliştirebilmeleri açısından önemli bilgiler sunmaktadır.

The Role of Public Debt on Renewable Energy Consumption: An Evidence of BRICS-T Countries

Öz

This study aims to examine the long-run effect of public debt on renewable energy consumption in BRICS-T countries for the period 1990-2019. In this study, Westerlund cointegration test and regression with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors are used to estimate long-run relationship between public debt and renewable energy consumption and Dumitrescu-Hurlin test is applied to examine casuality relationship among these variables. The findings from this study show that public debt negatively affects renewable energy consumption while financial development positively influences it in BRICS-T countries. The findings present important information for policy makers in terms of developing effective policies increasing enviromental quality and supporting to energy security.
