Cari Denge Açısından Yenilenebilir Enerjinin Rolü: Avrupa Birliği Ülkeleri ve Türkiye İçin Panel Veri Analizi

Öz Bu çalışmanın amacı, yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin cari denge üzerine etkisini panel veri yöntemi ile incelemektir. Bu amaçla 27 Avrupa Birliği ülkesi (Malta hariç) ve Türkiye’nin 1998-2011 dönemine ait verileri kullanılarak sabit etkiler ve rassal etkiler modelleri tahmin edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki ülkelerin çoğunluğu enerjide dışa bağımlılık oranı yüksek ve cari açık sorunu yaşayan ülkelerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre yenilenebilir enerji tüketimindeki oransal artış, cari denge üzerinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir etkiye sahiptir. Buna ek olarak ampirik sonuçlar, enerjide dışa bağımlılık oranının cari denge üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının, Avrupa Birliği ve Türkiye için cari açık sorununu çözmede önemli bir alternatif olduğu anlamına gelmektedir.
