E7 Ülkelerinde CO2 Emisyonu, Enerji Tüketimi, Ekonomik Büyüme ve Kentleşme Arasındaki İlişki

En eski çağlardan günümüze kadar fosil yakıtların kullanılıyor olması ve ülkelerin giderek daha küresel hale gelmesi karbondioksit (CO2) emisyonu sorununu önemli hale getirmektedir. Bu sorun en hızlı ekonomik gelişme gösteren ülkeler olarak adlandırılan E7 (Çin, Hindistan, Brezilya, Rusya, Endonezya, Meksika, Türkiye)  ülkeleri açısından da oldukça önemli bir konudur. Çalışmanın amacı, E7 ülkelerinde, CO2 emisyonu, enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme ve kentleşme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini araştırmaktır. 1992-2014 dönemini kapsayan ampirik çalışmada değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi Emirmahmutoglu ve Kose (2011) tarafından geliştirilen panel granger nedensellik testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucuna göre panel bazında kentleşmeden CO2 emisyonuna, enerji tüketiminden kentleşmeye ve ekonomik büyümeden kentleşmeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Ülke bazında elde edilen sonuçlarda ise karma bulgular elde edilmiştir. 

The Relationship Between CO2 Emission, Energy Consumption, Economic Growth and Urbanization In E7 Countries

The fact that fossil fuels have been used since the earliest times and that the countries become more global makes the issue of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions important. This problem, called the E7 countries showing the most rapid economic growth (China, India, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Turkey) will be a crucial issue in terms of countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the causality relationship between CO2 emission, energy consumption, economic growth and urbanization in E7 countries. In empirical study covering the period1992-2014, the causality relationship between variables is analyzed by panel granger causality test developed by Emirmahmutoglu ve Kose (2011). According to the results of the analysis, unidirectional causality from urbanization to CO2 emission, from energy consumptionto urbanization and from economic growth to urbanization is determined on a panel basis. In the results obtained by country are obtained mixed findings
