CO2 Emisyonu ve Ekonomik Büyüme: Panel Veri Analizi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı CO2 ile kişi başı gelir arasındaki ilişkiyi sorgulayarak Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi (EKC) hipotezini test etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Akdeniz ülkeleri ele alınarak 2000–2005 dönemi, panel veri yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Ampirik bulgular, CO2 emisyonu ile kişi başı gelir arasındaki ilişkinin N şeklinde olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Böylece CO2 emisyonunun, yüksek ekonomik büyüme düzeylerinde de artabileceği görülmüştür.Bunun yanında çalışmada, nüfus yoğunluğu ve enerji tüketimi değişkenlerinin çevre kirliliği üzerindeki etkisi de araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen ampirik bulgular, nüfus yoğunluğu ve enerji tüketiminin, CO2’yi pozitif yönde etkilediğini ortaya koymuştur
