Çevresel Phillips Eğrisi Hipotezinin Cinsiyet Bakış Açısıyla Test Edilmesi: MINT Ülkelerinden Ampirik Kanıtlar

Öz

Çevre ve ekonomi arasındaki ilişkiler iktisat yazınında son dönemlerde oldukça popüler olmuştur. Çevresel Phillips eğrisi de bu kapsamdan yola çıkılarak çevresel kirlilik ve işsizlik arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen, işsizliğin çevresel kirlilik üzerindeki etkisinin negatif olduğunu savunan bir yaklaşımı benimsemektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmada 1991-2020 dönemi için MINT ülkelerinde (Meksika, Endonezya, Nijerya, Türkiye) çevresel Phillips eğrisinin geçerliliği kadın, erkek ve toplam işsizlik özelinde araştırılmaktadır. Tüm panel için sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde toplam, kadın ve erkek işsizlikte Çevresel Phillips eğrisi hipotezinin MINT ülkelerinde geçerli olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Ancak Endonezya ve Türkiye’de çevresel Phillips eğrisi hipotezinin geçerli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçtan yola çıkarak, politika yapıcılar açısından işverenler için temiz endüstriler teşvik edilmeli ve istihdam politikaları ile bu sektörlerde iş imkanları arttırılmalıdır.

Testing The Environmental Phillips Curve Hypothesis From A Gender Perspective: Empirical Evidence From MINT Countries

Öz

The relationships between the environment and the economy have become very popular in economic literature recently. The environmental Phillips curve adopts an approach that examines the relationship between environmental pollution and unemployment and argues that the effect of unemployment on environmental pollution is negative. For this reason, the study investigates the validity of the environmental Phillips curve in MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Türkiye) for the period 1991-2020, specifically for women, men and total unemployment. When the results for the entire panel are evaluated, it is concluded that the Environmental Phillips curve hypothesis in total, female and male unemployment is not valid in MINT countries. However, it has been specified that the environmental Phillips curve hypothesis is valid in Indonesia and Turkey. Based on this result, policymakers should encourage clean industries for employers and increase job opportunities in these sectors through employment policies.
