    Revisiting the Relationship Between Natural Gas Consumption and Economic Growth in Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2015-01-12) Dogan, E.
    The objective of this study is to re-analyze the relationship between natural gas consumption (NGC) and economic growth (GR) for Turkey in a multivariate framework by including capital and labor as additional variables because several papers suggest that a bivariate model can suffer from omitted-variables bias. As compared to the findings of Isik (2010), who previously investigated the short-and long-run relationships between GR and NGC using a bivariate model, we find that the magnitude of the coefficient estimate of NGC become substantially smaller in the long-run and the sign of short-run estimate of NGC shift to negative after accounting for capital and labor as well. In addition to that covered by Isik (2010), we investigate the direction of causality between GR and NGC using the vector error correction model Granger causality approach, and reveal the evidence of feedback hypothesis for Turkey.

    How Renewable Energy Consumption and Natural Resource Abundance Impact Environmental Degradation? New Findings and Policy Implications From Quantile Approach
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2021-02-17) Altinoz, Buket; Dogan, Eyup
    The EKC literature has ignored the importance of natural resources on environmental degradation. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the impact of renewable energy consumption and the abundance of natural resources on CO2 emissions for a panel of 82 countries by using quantile regressions. Empirical results show that renewable energy consumption reduces CO2 emissions and its effect increases in higher quantiles. The impact on carbon emissions of natural resource abundance is negative at lower quantiles but positive at medium and higher quantiles. Also, the validity of the EKC hypothesis is confirmed for all quantiles, and an increase in trade openness and urbanization increases environmental degradation in lower and middle quantile levels; however, these determinants have negative impacts on carbon emissions at higher quantiles. Policy implications related to this outcome are further discussed in the study.

    Arsenic Removal From Aqueous Solutions by Ultrafiltration Assisted With Polyacrylamide: An Application of Response Surface Methodology
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2015-10) Varol, Bekir; Uzal, Nigmet
    The present work deals with removal of arsenic from aqueous solutions by ultrafiltration assisted with polyacrylamide as an environmental friendly complexing polymer. The system performance was evaluated in relation to quality of permeate in terms of operating variables as feed concentration of arsenic ions (C-o, gL(-1)), ratio of polymer to arsenic (r, w/w), and pH of feed solution. The effect of the operating variables and maximum arsenic removal efficiency was determined by adopting design of experiments and response surface methodology under different conditions for this polymer. The experimental data were analyzed with a second order polynomial model validated by statistical analysis. Based on the response model developed, the maximum removal efficiency, close to 100%, of arsenic ions has been obtained at optimum operating parameters as C-o: 150 gL(-1), r: 2, and pH 10.
