Ulusal ve global emisyonların anlaşılmasında enerji tüketiminin önemli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Abstract
Energy consumption has been found to be important in understanding national and global emissions. This paper investigates the relationships between SO2, NOx, CO, VOC, NH3, CO2 emissions,income, and energy consumption in Europe from 1990 to 2012. Environmental Kuznets Curve literature has excluded spatial interdependence and this could bias the estimates. By employing the spatial Durbin model and using panel data sets from 36 European countries, this study finds that there is an inverted-U shaped Environmental Kuznets Curve for SO2, NOx, CO and CO2 while NH3 emissions follow a U-shaped relationship. Results indicate that the per capita emissions from surrounding countries strongly influenced national per capita emissions for SO2, NOx, and VOC. Our findings also show that population density has a negative direct and indirect impact on the SO2, CO, and VOC emissions of European countries.
