Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ticari açıklık, ekonomik büyüme, enerji tüketimi ve karbon emisyonları (CO2) arasındaki ilişkiyi bir model önerisi sunarak Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) ile incelemektir. Bu kapsamda, değişkenler arasındaki doğrudan ve dolaylı etkileri incelemek üzere gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan 83 ülkenin 2000-2020 dönem verileri kullanılarak YEM ile yol analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları, ticari açıklığın ekonomik büyüme, enerji tüketimi ve CO2 üzerinde doğrudan pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Dolaylı etkiler incelendiğinde ise ekonomik büyüme ve enerji tüketiminin ticari açıklık ile CO2 arasındaki ilişkide, enerji tüketimin ise ekonomik büyüme ile CO2 arasındaki ilişkide aracılık ettikleri tespit edilmiştir.

The Link Between Trade Openness, Economic Growth, Energy Use and Carbon Emissions: Analysis with a Conceptual Model Proposal

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between trade openness, economic growth, energy consumption and carbon emissions (CO2) with Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) by offering a model proposal. In this context, a path analysis was carried out with SEM using the 2000-2020 period data of 83 developed and developing countries to examine the direct and indirect effects between the variables. The study's findings show that trade openness directly and significantly affects economic growth, energy consumption and CO2. When the indirect effects are examined, it has been determined that economic growth and energy consumption mediate the relationship between trade openness and CO2, and energy consumption mediates the relationship between economic growth and CO2.
