Elde edilen bulgular üç model üzerinden şu şekilde ortaya çıkmaktadır: i) Ekonomik büyüme (GDP), yenilenebilir enerjiyi (YE) teşvik etmekle birlikte, çevresel kalite üzerinde bozucu bir etkiye sahiptir. ii) YE ise hem GDP’yi desteklemekte hem de çevresel sürdürülebilirliği iyileştirici bir rol oynamaktadır. iii) Dijital dönüşümün bir göstergesi olan DESI’nın, ekonomik performans üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisi bulunmuş; aynı zamanda yenilenebilir enerji geçiş sürecini de desteklediği tespit edilmiştir. iv) EG ise GDP’yi negatif etkilerken yenilenebilir enerjiye geçişi pozitif yönde etkileyen önemli bir faktör olarak öne çıkmaktadır.

Özet

Ekonomik büyüme (SKH8), yenilenebilir enerjiye geçiş (SKH7) ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik (SKH13), birbirini tamamlayan ve karşılıklı bağımlılık ilişkisi içinde olan temel Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SKH) arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma, söz konusu üç kalkınma amacına ulaşmada Dijital Ekonomi ve Toplum Endeksi (DESI) ile enerji güvenliğinin (EG) rolünü Avrupa Birliği (AB) ülkeleri özelinde incelemektedir. Araştırma, 27 AB ülkesine ait 2017-2022 dönemine ilişkin yıllık verileri kullanarak Panel Kantil Regresyon (PQR) ve Araç Değişkenli Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Yöntemi (IV-GMM) tahmincileri aracılığıyla değişkenler arasındaki ilişkileri ampirik olarak test etmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular üç model üzerinden şu şekilde ortaya çıkmaktadır: i) Ekonomik büyüme (GDP), yenilenebilir enerjiyi (YE) teşvik etmekle birlikte, çevresel kalite üzerinde bozucu bir etkiye sahiptir. ii) YE ise hem GDP’yi desteklemekte hem de çevresel sürdürülebilirliği iyileştirici bir rol oynamaktadır. iii) Dijital dönüşümün bir göstergesi olan DESI’nın, ekonomik performans üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve olumlu bir etkisi bulunmuş; aynı zamanda yenilenebilir enerji geçiş sürecini de desteklediği tespit edilmiştir. iv) EG ise GDP’yi negatif etkilerken yenilenebilir enerjiye geçişi pozitif yönde etkileyen önemli bir faktör olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, DESI ve EG’nin çevre kalitesi üzerinde doğrudan anlamlı bir etkisi gözlemlenmemiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara dayanarak politika yapıcıların dijital altyapı yatırımları ve enerji güvenliği endişeleriyle ilgili dengeli bir yol izleyerek SKH’leri gerçekleştirebilecekleri öne sürülebilir.

Abstract

Economic growth (SDG8), transition to renewable energy (SDG7), and environmental sustainability (SDG13) are fundamental Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that complement each other and are interdependent. This study examines the role of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) and energy security (ES) in achieving these three development goals, specifically in European Union (EU) countries. The research empirically tests the relationships between the variables using Panel Quantile Regression (PQR) and Instrumental Variables Generalized Method of Moments (IV-GMM) estimators, utilizing annual data for the 2017-2022 period for 27 EU countries. The findings obtained are presented as follows through three models: i) Economic growth (GDP) promotes renewable energy (RE) but has a detrimental effect on environmental quality. ii) RE, on the other hand, both supports GDP and plays a role in improving environmental sustainability. iii) DESI, an indicator of digital transformation, has been found to have a statistically significant and positive effect on economic performance; it has also been determined to support the renewable energy transition process. iv) EG negatively affects GDP but emerges as an important factor positively influencing the transition to renewable energy. However, no direct significant effect of DESI and EG on environmental quality has been observed. Based on the findings, it can be argued that policymakers can achieve the SDGs by pursuing a balanced approach to digital infrastructure investments and energy security concerns.
