The study investigates the impact of renewable energy and economic globalization on per capita carbon emissions as an indicator of environmental quality in Turkey from 1980-2020. The study includes unit root, cointegration, and causality analyses based on Fourier functions that allow better modeling of structural breaks. The results show that renewable energy and economic globalization improve environmental quality. Economic globalization contributes more to environmental quality in the long run than renewable energy production. Sustainable development involves ensuring economic growth in the long run as well as limiting its deteriorating impact on environmental conditions. According to the causality analysis, there is no short-run causality relationship between GDP per capita, agricultural production, renewable energy, and globalization to carbon emissions. For sustainable development in Turkey, policymakers can use renewable energy and economic globalization as an anchor in the long-run dynamics instead of short-run dynamics.

YENİLENEBİLİR ENERJİ VE EKONOMİK KÜRESELLEŞME ÇEVRESEL KALİTEYİ ARTIRIR MI? SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KALKINMA İÇİN TÜRKİYE'DEN KANITLAR

Öz

Çalışma, yenilenebilir enerji ve ekonomik küreselleşmenin Türkiye’de çevresel kalite göstergesi olarak kişi başına düşen karbon emisyonu üzerindeki etkisini 1980-2020 dönemi için araştırmaktadır. Çalışmada yapısal kırılmaların daha iyi modellenmesine imkân veren Fourier fonksiyonlarına dayalı birim kök, eş bütünleşme ve nedensellik analizi yer almaktadır. Sonuçlar yenilenebilir enerji ve ekonomik küreselleşmenin çevresel kaliteyi iyileştirici etki yaptığını göstermektedir. Ekonomik küreselleşme yenilenebilir enerji üretimine göre uzun dönemde çevresel kaliteye daha fazla katkı vermektedir. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, ekonomik büyümenin uzun dönemde sağlanmasının yanı sıra çevresel koşullar üzerindeki bozucu etkisinin sınırlandırılmasını içermektedir. Nedensellik analizine göre kişi başına GSYH, tarımsal üretim, yenilenebilir enerji ve küreselleşmeden karbon emisyonuna doğru kısa dönemli nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmamaktadır. Türkiye’de sürdürülebilir kalkınma için politika yapıcılar, kısa dönem dinamikleri yerine uzun dönemde dinamikler ekseninde yenilenebilir enerji ve ekonomik küreselleşme düzeyini çıpa olarak kullanabilir.
