Enerji-Büyüme Hipotezlerinin MENAP Ülkeleri için Test Edilmesi: Kısa ve Uzun Dönem Panel Granger Nedensellik Analizi

Bu çalışma MENAP ülkelerinde hangi enerji-büyüme hipotezinin geçerli olduğunun tespit edilmesini amaçlamaktadır. Toplam üretim fonksiyonunun izlendiği bu çalışma; ekonomik büyüme, enerji tüketimi, sermaye oluşumu, işgücü değişkenlerini ve 1994-2013 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada panel eşbütünleşme, panel Granger nedensellik ve vektör hata düzeltme modeli uygulanmıştır. Panel eşbütünleşme testi sonuçlarına göre ekonomik büyüme, enerji tüketimi, sermaye oluşumu, işgücü değişkenleri arasında uzun dönem dengesi vardır. Panel vektör hata düzeltme modelinden elde edilen sonuçlar kısa dönemde enerji tüketimi ve ekonomik büyüme arasında ilişkinin bulunmadığını, yani, MENAP ülkelerinde yansızlık hipotezinin geçerli olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu ülkelerde uygulanacak enerji tasarrufu politikaları ve enerji arzı şokları ekonomik büyüme üzerinde etki yapmamaktadır. Buradan hareketle, dünya petrol arzında önemli bir paya sahip MENAP ülkelerinde tek ürüne bağımlı olma sorununun bulunmadığı, bunda, ekonomik çeşitlendirme ve yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının etkili olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.

Testing Energy-Growth Hypothesis on MENAP Countries: Short and Long-Term Panel Granger Causality Analysis

The study aims to determine which energy-growth hypothesis is valid for the MENAP countries for the years 1994-2013. This study following aggregate production function includes economic growth, energy consumption, gross capital formation, and labor force variables. We used panel cointegration, panel Granger Causality and Vector Error Correction Model for econometric analysis. As a result of panel cointegration test, there is a long term relation among economic growth, energy consumption, gross capital formation and labor force variables. The results of panel vector error correction model proved that there is no relationship between energy consumption and economic growth. Namely, neutrality hypothesis is valid for MENAP countries. Energy conservation policy applied for these countries and energy supply shocks have not effect on economic growth. MENAP countries which have an important share of world oil supply have no dependency on a single product. Because, MENAP countries focused on economic diversification and investment of renewable energy investment.
