Abstract

The
purpose of this paper is to measure the energy use efficiency in the low-middle
income, the upper-middle income and the high-income countries over the period of
1991 to 2011 using the data envelopment analysis. Energy use efficiency is
generally measured by energy intensity which is defined as the ratio of energy
use to gross domestic product. However, this ratio or measurement is arguable
in the literature and therefore, energy intensity is not a good indicator of
energy use efficiency. Energy use efficiency improvements make mention of a
decrease in energy used for a given service or level of activity. Hence, it can
be measured by either deterministic or non-deterministic approaches within the
framework of production theory. The findings of this paper show either energy is
used efficiently or inefficiently between lower middle-income countries, upper
middle-income countries and high income countries also help to make some policy
implications on energy use, because almost all countries are implementing a broad
array of policy measures for energy efficiency.

ALT-ORTA, ÜST-ORTA VE YÜKSEK GELİR GRUPLARINDA YER ALAN ÜLKELERİN ENERJİ KULLANIM ETKİNLİKLERİNİN ÖLÇÜLMESİ: VERİ ZARFLAMA ANALİZİ

Year 2017, Volume: 24 Issue: 2, 407 - 422, 18.08.2017

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı,
1991-2011 yıl aralığı için alt-orta, üst-orta ve yüksek gelir gruplarında yer
alan ülkelerin enerji kullanımlarındaki etkinliklerini veri zarflama analizi
yöntemini kullanarak ölçmektir. Enerji kullanımındaki etkinlik çoğu zaman, toplam
enerji kullanımının gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla içerisindeki payı olarak
hesaplanan enerji yoğunluğu kavramı ile ölçülmektedir. Bununla birlikte bu oran
literatürde tartışmaya çok açıktır ve bu yüzden enerji yoğunluğu enerji
kullanımındaki etkinliği göstermek için iyi bir ölçüm göstergesi olarak
görülmemektedir. Bununla birlikte enerji yoğunluğu hesaplamaları çerçevesinde
enerji kullanımındaki etkinliğin ölçümü ile ilgili gelişmeler belirli bir
faaliyet düzeyinde enerji kullanımında görülen düşüşten bahsetmektedir. Bu
yüzden üretim teorisi çerçevesinde enerji kullanımındaki etkinliğin
deterministik ve deterministik olmayan yaklaşımlar ile ölçülmesi daha sağlıklı bulunmaktadır.
Çalışmanın bulguları, alt-orta, üst-orta ve yüksek gelir gruplarında yer alan
ülkeler arasında ülke gruplarına göre enerjinin etkin veya etkinsiz kullanılabildiğini
göstermekte ve enerji kullanımına yönelik politika uygulamaları yapılmasının
gerekliliği yönünde katkı sağlamaktadır. Çünkü hemen hemen artık tüm ülkeler
enerjinin etkin kullanımı üzerine politika önlemleri almaktadırlar.
