Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de bilgi iletişim teknolojisi, ekonomik büyüme, havayolu taşımacılığı ve nüfusun karbondioksit emisyonları üzerindeki etkilerini analiz ederek literatüre katkıda bulunmaktır. Bu bağlamda değişkenler 1995-2018 dönemlerine ait yıllık verilerden faydalanılarak analiz edilmiştir. ARDL modeli kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulgularda; analize dâhil edilen değişkenlerin arasında uzun vadeli eş bütünleşme ilişkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kısa dönem sonuçlarına göre, bilgi iletişim teknolojisi, ekonomik büyüme ve nüfus değişkenlerinin karbondioksit emisyonları üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Uzun dönem sonuçlarında ise, karbondioksit emisyonu üzerinde ekonomik büyüme ve havayolu taşımacılığının pozitif ve anlamlı, nüfus ile negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlenirken, bilgi iletişim teknolojisi değişkenine ait katsayının pozitif olmasına rağmen istatistiksel olarak anlamsız olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature by analyzing the effects of information communication technology, economic growth, air transport and population on carbon dioxide emissions in Turkey. In this context, the variables were analyzed by making use of the annual data of the 1995-2018 periods. ARDL model was used. In the findings obtained as a result of the analyzes; It was determined that there was a long-term cointegration relationship between the variables included in the analysis. According to the short-term results, it has been determined that information communication technology, economic growth and population variables have a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. In the long-term results, it has been determined that there is a positive and significant relationship between economic growth and air transport on carbon dioxide emissions, and a negative and significant relationship with the population, while the coefficient of the information communication technology variable is positive, but statistically insignificant.
