Abstract

Balancing global emissions in relation to climate change is one of the biggest challenges countries face. The threat of environmental degradation has attracted the attention of countries around the world as it causes global warming and interrupts the carbon cycle. This study investigates the impact of natural resource rent, economic complexity index and economic growth on environmental sustainability in MENA countries for the period 1998-2020. As empirical methods, cointegration test (Lagrange multiplier (LM)) and cointegration coefficient estimator (Common Correlated Effect (CCE)) method were used. The panel-wide results reveal that the impact of natural resource rent and economic complexity index on carbon emissions in the relevant countries is uncertain, while economic growth increases carbon emissions. Key Words: Natural Resource Rent, Economic Complexity, Environmental Sustainability JEL Classification: S34, F14, S56

Özet

İklim değişikliğiyle ilişki olarak küresel emisyonların dengelenmesi, ülkelerin karşı karşıya olduğu en büyük zorluklardan biridir. Çevresel bozulma tehdidi, küresel ısınmaya neden olması ve karbon döngüsünü kesintiye uğratması sebebiyle dünya çapındaki ülkelerin dikkatini çekmiştir. Bu çalışma, MENA ülkelerinde 1998-2020 dönemi için doğal kaynak rantı, ekonomik karmaşıklık endeksi ve ekonomik büyümenin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktadır. Ampirik yöntem olarak eşbütünleşme testi (Lagrange çarpanı (LM)) ve eşbütünleşme katsayı tahminci (Ortak İlişkili Etkiler- Common Correlated Effect (CCE)) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Panel geneli sonuçlar, doğal kaynak rantının ve ekonomik karmaşıklık endeksinin ilgili ülkelerde karbon emisyonları üzerindeki etkisinin belirsiz olduğunu ortaya koymakta iken ekonomik büyüme karbon emisyonlarını artırmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Doğal Kaynak Rantı, Ekonomik Karmaşıklık, Çevresel Sürdürülebilirlik JEL Sınıflandırması: S34, F14, S56
