THE ENVIRONMENT IN ECONOMIC GROWTH MODELS: AN APPLICATION BASED ON ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT

Öz

This study focuses on how environment is analysed in economic growth models and what results are obtained together with other production factors. Within this framework, ecological footprint as an indicator of environment is used. Later, the relationship between GDP and ecological footprint in developed and developing countries is econometrically analysed by using panel data techniques. Results show that the effect of environment on GDP is greater in developing countries than in developed ones, meaning that environment protection will be more costly in developing countries.

EKONOMİK BÜYÜME MODELLERİNDE ÇEVRE: EKOLOJİK AYAK İZİNİ ESAS ALAN BİR UYGULAMA

Öz

Bu çalışmada çevrenin ekonomik büyüme modellerinde nasıl ele alındığı ve üretim fonksiyonu yaklaşımı çerçevesinde diğer üretim faktörleriyle birlikte nasıl sonuçlar verdiği araştırılmıştır. Ampirik uygulama kısmında üretim fonksiyonu yaklaşımı çerçevesinde ekolojik ayak izi değişkeni ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkeler için panel veri yöntemleriyle analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar gelişmekte olan ülkelerde çevre faktörünün hasıla üzerindeki etkisinin daha büyük olduğunu ve dolayısıyla çevreyi korumaya yönelik politikaların bu ülkelerde daha maliyetli olacağını göstermiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler
