Environmental Deterioration, Renewable Energy, Natural Resource Rents, and Schooling in Türkiye: Does the Degree of Energy Transition Matter for Environmental Quality?
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Atay Polat, Melike; Atay Polat, Melike; Bulut, Ahsen Seda; 04.01. Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü; 04.

Within the literature on energy and environmental economics, it is generally acknowledged that renewable energy can improve environmental quality; however, certain papers suggest that an optimal level of the usage of renewable energy sources may exist. Consequently, the utilization of renewable energy sources can result in environmental degradation up to a certain threshold. Then, environmental quality can be enhanced through the continued application of renewables. This indicates that the link between renewable energy and environmental devastation is inverted U-shaped. This paper presents empirical evidence concerning this possible association between renewable energy and environmental destruction in T & uuml;rkiye, a country where fossil energy predominates in the energy mix. Additionally, the paper investigates the environmental influences of natural resource rents and schooling. This study utilizes annual data from 1971 to 2020 and implements time series methodologies that rely on the Fourier approximation. The paper thus accounts for an undetermined quantity of structural breaks. The results suggest that an inverted U-shaped link occurs between renewable energy and environmental destruction, signifying renewable energy initially contributes to a diminution in environmental quality before subsequently improving it. Additionally, environmental quality is positively associated with natural resource rents and negatively associated with schooling, according to the findings. Furthermore, the findings reveal that schooling worsens the combined effect of renewable energy on environmental degradation. These conclusions are discussed in the paper.

The impact of technological innovations on the environmental Kuznets curve: evidence from EU-27
(Springer, 2024) Atay Polat, Melike; Savranlar, Buket; Atay Polat, Melike; Yiğit, Yüksel; Aslan, Alper; 04.01. Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü; 04.

The EKC hypothesis expresses the inverted U-shaped relationship between per capita income and environmental quality. In the literature, the role of technological innovations and income inequality on pollution is a relatively recent discussion in the studies testing the EKC hypothesis. The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of technological innovations, income inequality, exports, urbanization, and growth on CO2 emissions in EU-27. In addition, while investigating this relationship, exports and urbanization are also considered and panel vector autoregression (PVAR) analysis is applied for the 2005-2019 period. According to the coefficient estimation results, while income inequality, exports, and urbanization increase pollution, technological innovations contribute to environmental quality. Also, the results demonstrated that the EKC hypothesis is invalid in these countries and there is a U-shaped relationship between growth and emissions. The causality test results revealed the presence of unidirectional causality running from all explanatory variables to CO2 emissions. Moreover, impulse-response graphs demonstrated that the reply of emissions to the shocks in the explanatory variables is similar to the long-run coefficient results. In conclusion, all available empirical evidence for this relationship highlights that income inequality and technological innovations should be considered in policy-making processes to ensure environmental quality in EU-27 countries.

Is electronic finance sustainable or not in the European Union? New insights from the panel vector autoregression approach
(SpringerLink, 2022) Atay Polat, Melike; Aslan, Alper; Atay Polat, Melike; Topalgokcelli, Emre; Esmeray, Murat; 04.01. Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü; 04.

Abstract Today, as a result of the developments and widespread use of information and communication technologies, the weight of online shopping in the economy has increased. The environmental impacts of this new order, which is an important part of electronic fnance, are discussed. In this study, the efect of electronic fnance, economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and urbanization on emissions in EU member countries is examined using the panel vector autoregression (PVAR) approach for the period from 2005 to 2018. The main results suggest that e-fnance has a positive and statistically signifcant efect on CO2 emissions. However, the renewable energy consumption-increasing efect of e-fnance is greater than its emission-reducing efect. Moreover, renewable energy consumption has a statistically insignifcant efect on emissions. Therefore, the contribution of e-fnance on environmental quality weakens. The requirement for EU member countries to prioritize the use of environmentally friendly energy to beneft from the environmental contribution of e-fnance in the most optimal way is stated as the main policy implication of this study
