    Technological innovation and sustainable development
    (2023) Atay Polat, Melike
    Technological innovation contributes to the development of sustainable development by developing green energy technology. Türkiye complies with various international agreements in order to achieve its environmental sustainability goals. The goal of this study is to investigate the nexus between sustainable development and technological innovation in Türkiye between 1990 and 2019. The stationarity test of the variables was investigated using the ADF unit root test. A long-term relation between the variables was determined by applying the ARDL model. Long-term findings have shown that technological innovation and economic growth positively affect sustainable development. On the other hand, it was concluded that financial development negatively affects sustainable development. As a result, it has been seen that technological innovation is important for Türkiye to reach sustainable development. Thus, Türkiye can help reduce global environmental pollution by carrying out its innovation policies in a healthy way.

    Research Originality: Nuclear power plant installation activities, which have gained momentum since the 1970s, have made nuclear energy widespread. The US ranks first in the world in nuclear energy use. This article contributes to the existing literature on environmental economics by incorporating environmental technologies and globalization into investigating the impact of nuclear energy on environmental pollution. Research Objectives: This study aims to analyze the effects of nuclear energy consumption, environmental technologies, and globalization on environmental pollution in the US.. Research Methods: The paper use ARDL approach with the data of 1970-2018 period. Empirical Results: According to the findings, nuclear energy consumption negatively affects environmental quality in the US both in the short and long run. On the contrary, environment- related technologies contribute positively to environmental quality, reducing carbon footprint in the long run. Also, globalization has an insignificant effect on the environment in both the short and long run. Implications: Supporting environmental technologies and exchanging nuclear energy with renewable energy sources in the US is thought to improve environmental quality.

    G7 Ülkelerinde Karbon Emisyonu ile Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisinin İncelenmesi
    (Özgür Yayınları, 2023) Emek, Ömer Fazıl; Atay Polat, Melike
    Küresel problemlerin başında gelen küresel ısınma ve iklim felaketlerinin karbon emisyon hacmini artırması ve bunun da ekonomik büyüme ile herhangi bir ilişkisinin olup olmadığı literatürde tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1991 ile 2021 yılları arası gelişmiş 7 ülke (G7) için karbon emisyonu ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki uzun dönem ilişkisini incelemektir. Değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönem ilişkisi Durbin-Hausman panel eşbütünleşme testi ile belirlenmiştir. Eşbütünleşme testi doğrultusunda, kişi başı karbon emisyon miktarı ile kişi başı GSYH değişkenleri arasında eşbütünleşik ilişkinin varlığı saptanmıştır. Daha sonra uzun dönem katsayı tahmini için tam düzeltilmiş en küçük kareler (FMOLS) ve dinamik en küçük kareler (DOLS) tahmincileri kullanılmış ve elde edilen bulgulara göre değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin negatif yönlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun anlamı, G7 ülkelerinde ekonomik büyümenin karbon emisyon miktarını azalttığıdır. Bu sonuçlardan G7 ülkelerinde ekonomik büyümenin çevresel politikaların belirlenmesine engel olmayacağı anlaşılmaktadır. Ancak geleneksel ekonomik büyümenin yerine daha temiz ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına dayalı bir ekonomik model oluşturmanın önemine vurgu yapmak gerekir.

    The Impact of Globalisation on Women
    (IJOPEC Publication, 2017) Atik, Hayriye; Atay Polat, Melike
    This paper examines the effects of globalisation on women in the world regions Which grouped by United Nations as developed countries, developing countries, Southern Europe, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Oceania, Western Asia, Southern-East Asia, Eastern Asia, Northern Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa. The effect of globalisation on women was evaluated through labour force participation, employment structure, educational attainment, health status and political power. Although the global vision has been presented as a borderless world, in which all countries are integrated into a unified order, the findings of the research have indicated that women status differs widely in world regions. Women in developing regions generally have negative effects of globalisation.

    The impact of technological innovations on the environmental Kuznets curve: evidence from EU-27
    (Springer, 2024) Ercan, Hamdi; Savranlar, Buket; Atay Polat, Melike; Yiğit, Yüksel; Aslan, Alper; Polat, Melike Atay
    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.

    What are the mistakes we think are correct about the Natural resource curse' hypothesis? New insights from quantile regressions via method of moments for EU
    (Elsevier, 2023) Savranlar, Buket; Atay Polat, Melike; Aslan, Alper; Polat, Melike Atay
    The nexus among natural resources and economic growth has recently been extensively studied in the context of the "Natural Resource Curse (NRC)" hypothesis. It is critical to use the latest analysis techniques in the development of the relevant literature. Therefore, this study aims to test the NRC hypothesis in EU member countries applying the Method of Moments Quantile Regression. Moreover, the focus of this study on EU countries for the first time fills an important gap in the literature. Renewable energy consumption, gross fixed capital formation, and urbanization are adopted as control variables. The findings demonstrate the validity of the NRC hypothesis at all quantile levels. Renewable energy consumption contributes to economic growth up to 0.70 quantile level. Additionally, gross fixed capital formation and urbanization have a positive impact on growth at all quantile levels. Empirical outputs highlight the importance of natural resources for growth in EU member countries and raise suggestions for possible policy formulation and implementation processes.
