Environment is one of the gripping topic with the importance of the protection of it for future generations. In recent years, greenhouse gas emissions are important threat for environment. Within greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 emissions takes big share. On the other hand, in the global World capital movements gain speed and foreign direct investment inflows gradually increase in Turkey. To this respect, we need to think about possible effects of these investments to environmental quality of country. In this sense, this paper examines the relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and CO2 emissions for Turkey. The study covers 1980-2011 period. The Bounds test developed by Pesaran et al. (2001) is applied to investigate the relationship between series for given period of time. According to bounds test results, there is no cointegration relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and CO2 series for Turkey. In other words, in the long term fdi inflows and CO2 emissions do not move together.
Türkiye'de Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar ile Karbondioksit Emisyonu Arasındaki ilişkinin ARDL Yaklaşımı ile Araştırılması
Öz
Çevre, gelecek nesiller için korunmasının önemli olması bakımından ilgi çekici konulardan biridir. Son yıllarda, sera gazı emisyonları çevre için önemli bir tehdittir. Sera gazı emisyonları içinde de karbondioksit emisyonları büyük pay almaktadır. Diğer taraftan, küresel dünyada sermaye hareketleri hız kazanmaktadır ve Türkiye’ye gelen doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar giderek artmaktadır. Bu noktada, bu yatırımların ülkenin çevresel kalitesine olası etkileri hakkında düşünmemiz gerekir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma Türkiye için doğrudan yabancı yatırım akımları ile karbondioksit emisyonları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Çalışma 1980-2011 periyodunu kapsamaktadır. Verilen zaman dilimi için seriler arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesinde Pesaran vd (2001) tarafından geliştirilen Sınır testi kullanılmıştır. Sınır testi sonuçlarına göre, Türkiye için doğrudan yabancı yatırım akımları ile CO2 serileri arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisi yoktur. Diğer bir deyişle, uzun dönemde fdi akımları ile CO2 emisyonları birlikte hareket etmezler.
