Abstract

In recent years there has been tremendous debate among academics and policy makers about the interactions between economic growth and environmental taxation. In this study, the relationship between environmental taxes and economic growth is analyzed using 29 European countries' yearly data for the period 1996 to 2010. The main objectives of this study are to determine the reaction of economic growth in the face of a shock in different kinds of environmental taxes and to examine whether environmental taxation has a positive or negative effect on national economies. Using Panel Vector Autoregressive models, we find positive and statistically significant responses to an environmental tax shock.

Özet

Son yıllarda çevre vergileri ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki etkileşim, hem politikacılar hem de akademisyenler arasında yoğun bir biçimde tartışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, çevre vergileri ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki, 29 Avrupa ülkesinin 1996-2010 yılları arasındaki verileri temel alınarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel amacı, farklı çevre vergilerindeki bir şok karşısında ekonomik büyümenin verdiği tepkiyi belirlemek ve çevre vergilerinin ulusal ekonomi üzerindeki etkisinin negatif olup olmadığını incelemektedir. Panel Vektör Otoregresif model kullanılarak yapılan çalışmada, çevre vergilerindeki bir şok karşısında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif tepkilere ulaşılmıştır
