Abstract

Today, carbon dioxide constitutes a large portion of greenhouse gases considered to be the main culprit of global warming and environmental pollution. For sustainable development and more importantly for human and environmental health, carbon dioxide emissions must be reduced rapidly. In this study, with reference to the problem of carbon dioxide emission and the variables affecting it analyses the relationship between renewable energy consumption, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in MINT countries consisting of Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Türkiye. For the 1990-2020 period, first generation methods were used in the analyses conducted with annual data. According to the results of the panel cointegration test, there is no long-run relationship between renewable energy consumption, economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in MINT countries. In parallel to this, the findings obtained from the panel causality test do not support the claim that renewable energy consumption and economic growth are effective on carbon dioxide emissions in MINT countries. Because only unidirectional causality from economic growth to renewable energy consumption was found for the variables.

Özet

Bugün küresel ısınma ve çevre kirliliğinin baş sorumlusu kabul edilen sera gazlarının büyük bir bölümünü karbondioksit oluşturmaktadır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve daha da önemlisi insan ve çevre sağlığı için karbondioksit salınımının süratle düşürülmesi şarttır. Bu çalışmada karbondioksit salınımı problemi ve buna etki eden değişkenlerden hareketle Meksika, Endonezya, Nijerya ve Türkiye’den oluşan MINT ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme ve karbondioksit emisyonu arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. 1990 – 2020 dönemi yıllık verileriyle yürütülen analizlerde birinci nesil yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Panel eşbütünleşme testinin sonuçlarına göre MINT ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme ve karbondioksit emisyonu arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki yoktur. Buna paralel olarak panel nedensellik testinden elde edilen bulgular MINT ülkelerinde yenilebilir enerji tüketimi ve ekonomik büyümenin karbondioksit emisyonu üzerinde etkili olduğu iddiasını desteklememektedir. Zira değişkenler için yalnızca ekonomik büyümeden yenilenebilir enerji tüketimine doğru tek yönlü nedensellik tespit edilmiştir.
