Amaç: Çevresel bozulma ve küresel ısınma gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkeler için çözüm üretilmesi gereken en önemli sorunların başında gelmektedir. Bu nedenle politika yapıcılar ve araştırmacılar çevresel bozulmayı azaltacak şekilde büyümeyi gerçekleştirme arayışı içerisine girmişlerdir. Son yıllarda iklim değişikliği ve çevresel bozulmanın neden olduğu olumsuzlukların azaltılmasında çevresel inovasyon anlamlı bir rol oynamakta ve düşük CO2 emisyonlarına ve sürdürülebilir kalkınmaya ulaşmanın bir yolu olarak görülmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkiye’de 1995-2020 döneminde yeşil inovasyon, yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme, finansal gelişme ve çevre kirliliği (CO2 emisyonu) arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektir.
Tasarım/Yöntem: Araştırmada Johansen eşbütünleşme testi, FMOLS tahmincisi ve nedesellik testi uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre yeşil inovasyonunun CO2 emisyonu üzerinde negatif etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca, çevresel kalite ile yeşil inovasyon, yenilenebilir enerji ve finansal gelişme arasında tek yönlü kısa dönem nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.
Sınırlılıklar: Çalışma yöntem açısından eşbütünleşme ve nedensellik analizleri ile sınırlıdır. Mekan açısından sınırı Türkiye’dir. 1995-2020 yılları arası verilerinin kullanılması zaman açısından sınırını ortaya koymaktadır.
Özgünlük/Değer: Yeşil inovasyon ve çevre kalitesi arasındaki ilişki sınırlı sayıda çalışılmasına rağmen, bu ilişkinin araştırılmasında yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi ve finansal gelişmenin de dahil edilmesi araştırmanın özgün değerini göstermektedir.

Analysis of the Reletionship Between Green Innovation and Environmental Quality in Türkiye

Öz

Purpose: Environmental degradation and global warming are among the most important problems that need solutions for developed and developing countries. For this reason, policy makers and researchers have sought to achieve growth in a way that reduces environmental degradation. In recent years, environmental innovation has played a significant role in reducing the negativities caused by climate change and environmental degradation ans is seen as a way to achieve low CO2 emissions and sustainable development. The aim of this research is to analyze the nexus between green innovation, renewable energy consumption, economic growth, sinancial development and environmental pollution (CO2 emissions) in Türkiye druing the 1995-2020 period.
Design/Methodology: Johansen cointegration test, FMOLS estimator and causality test were applied in the research.
Findings: According to the findings obtained as a result of the analysis, it was seen that green innovation had a negative impact on CO2 emissions. Additionaly, a one-way short-term causality relationship was found between environmental quality and green innovation, renewable energy and financial development.
Limitations: In terms of method, the study is limited to cointegration and causality analysis. In terms of location, its border is Türkiye. Using data between 1995 and 2020 reveals its time limit.
Originality/Value: Although the nexus between green innovation and environmental quality has been studied in limited numbers, the inclusion of renewable energy consumption and financial development in the investigation of this nexus shows the unique value of the research.
