Abstract

Geleneksel enerji kaynaklarının rezervlerinin sınırlı olması ve çevre üzerinde olumsuz etkilere yol açması nedeniyle günümüzde yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımına oldukça önem verilmektedir. Bu nedenle yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları kullanımı 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren birçok araştırmacının çalışma alanı olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı dünyada diğerlerine göre en yüksek karbondioksit salınımı yapan beş ülkenin (Çin, Hindistan, ABD, Japonya, Rusya) 1990-2015 dönemi için yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından üretilen elektrik enerjisi ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensel ilişkisini belirlemektir. Ampirik bulgular yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından üretilen elektrik enerjisi ile gayrisafi yurtiçi hasıla arasında Hindistan ve Rusya’da yansızlık hipotezinin geçerli olduğunu desteklemektedir. Sonuçlar Çin ve Japonya’da koruma hipotezinin geçerli olduğunu, ABD’de ise geribildirim hipotezinin geçerli olduğunu kanıtlamaktadır.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELECTRIC ENERGY PRODUCED FROM RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: DOES HIGHER EMISSION AFFECT?

Abstract

Due to the limited reserves of traditional energy resources and their negative effects on the environment, the use of renewable energy resources is highly important today. For this reason, the use of renewable energy resources has been the field of study for many researchers since the 1990s. The aim of this study is to determine the causal relationship between the electric energy produced from renewable energy sources and economic growth for the period 1990-2015 top five countries (China, India, USA, Japan, Russia) which emit highest carbon dioxide among others. Empirical findings support that the neutrality hypothesis is valid in India and Russia between electrical energy generated from renewable energy sources and gross domestic product. The results prove that the conservation hypothesis is valid in China and Japan, and the feedback hypothesis is valid in the USA.
