Çevre vergileri, ekonomik büyüme ve karbon emisyonu arasındaki ilişki 34 OECD ülkesi ve 1995-2020 dönemi ele alınarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle karbon emisyonu, ekonomik büyüme ve çevre vergileri arasında ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemek amacıyla birim kök testleri uygulandıktan sonra ülkelere göre çevre vergileri ve karbon emisyonunun ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini belirleyebilmek amacıyla panel kantil regresyon yöntemi ile model tahmini yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Daha sonra ise heterojenliği dikkate alan Dumitrescu Hurlin panel testi ile değişkenler arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, çevre vergileri ile ekonomik büyüme arasında pozitif yönlü karbon emisyonu ile ekonomik büyüme arasında ise negatif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca gelişmekte olan ülkelerde çevre vergilerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi yüksek iken, gelişmiş ülkelerde ise bu etkinin düştüğü söylenebilmektedir.

The Relationship Between Environmental Taxes, Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth: An Analysis of OECD Countries

Öz

The study examined the relationship between environmental taxes, economic growth, and carbon emissions by considering 34 OECD countries from 1995 to 2020. First, unit root tests were carried out to determine whether there is a relationship between carbon emissions, economic growth and environmental taxes. Then, the Dumitrescu Panel Granger causality test was applied. The panel quantile regression method was used depending on the relationship that emerged. According to the results, it has been determined that there is a positive relationship between environmental taxes and economic growth and a negative relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth. In addition, it can be said that while the effect of environmental taxes on economic growth is high in developing countries, this effect decreases in developed countries.
