The aim of this study is to make a comparative analysis of the relationship between development and environmental pollution and to test the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve in the 37 countries using data over the period of 1980 2007 According to estimations conducted by the method of panel EGSL there is negative and significant relationship between the improvements in development indicators but environmental pollution and indicating the conclusion that the increase in personal income is not compatible with Environmental Kuznets Curve According to this the results of the analysis indicate a relationship with personal income and the level of environmental pollution in the form of an N Keywords: Economic Development Environmental Pollution Environmental Kuznets Curve

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı 37 ülkenin 1980 2007 dönemine ait verileri yardımıyla kalkınma ile çevre kirliliği arasındaki ilişkiyi karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz etmek ve bu ülkelerde Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisinin geçerliliğini sınamaktır Panel EGLS yöntemiyle yapılan tahminlemeye göre kalkınma göstergelerinde ortaya çıkan iyileşme ile çevre kirliliği arasında negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuş ancak varsayımın modele uygulanması sonucu kişisel gelirde ortaya çıkan artışın Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi varsayımıyla uyumlu olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır Buna göre çalışmada yapılan analiz sonuçları kişisel gelir düzeyi ile çevre kirliliği arasında N şeklinde bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir Anahtar Kelimeler: Ekonomik Kalkınma Çevre Kirliliği Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi Relationship Between Economic Development And Environmental Pollution: An Empirical Analysis On Developing Countries
