    The Relationship Between Economic Growth and Electricity Consumption From Renewable and Non-Renewable Sources: A Study of Turkey
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-12) Dogan, Eyup
    The main objective of this study is to analyze the short and long run estimates as well as the causality relationships between economic growth (GR), electricity consumption from renewable sources (RELC) and electricity consumption from non-renewable sources (NRELC) for Turkey in a multivariate model wherein capital (K) and labor (L) are included as additional variables. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to cointegration, the Johansen cointegration test and the Gregory-Hansen cointegration test with structural break, we show that GR, RELC, NRELC, K and L are cointegrated. Although NRELC has a long run positive effect on GR, the long run estimate of RELC is negative but insignificant at 5% level of significance. The Granger causality test based on the vector error correction model reveals the evidence of neutrality hypothesis between RELC and GR, and between NRELC and GR in Turkey in the short run. In addition, the Granger causality runs from RELC, NRELC, K and L to GR as well as from GR, RELC, K and L to NRELC in the long run, which supports the existence of growth hypothesis between RELC and GR, and feedback hypothesis between NRELC and GR in the long run. It is advised that policy makers in the Turkish government should continue to reduce the share of electricity consumption from renewable sources and encourage the usage of electricity from non-renewable sources to have sustainable long run growth rates. It is also essential to promote the investment projects to increase the efficiency of electricity generation from non-renewable sources. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    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.

    Analyzing the Tourism-Energy Nexus for the Top 10 Most-Visited Countries
    (MDPI, 2017-10-30) Isik, Cem; Dogan, Eyup; Ongan, Serdar; Dogan, Eyüp
    By using the Emirmahmutoglu-Kose bootstrap Granger non-causality method, this study explores the directions of causality among tourist arrivals, tourism receipts, energy consumption and economic growth for the top 10 most-visited countries (France, the USA, Spain, China, Italy, Turkey, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Mexico) in the world. This study finds a variety of causal directions between the pair of analyzed variables for each country and the panel. Since cross-sectional dependence exists across the top countries for the analyzed variables, the bootstrap Granger causality test that accounts for the mentioned issue in the estimation process presumably produces reliable and accurate outputs. Further results and policy implications are discussed in this empirical study.

    Analyzing the Linkage Between Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Consumption and Economic Growth by Considering Structural Break in Time-Series Data
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-12) Dogan, Eyup
    Even though a number of studies investigate the energy-growth nexus, only a small number of the existing studies use estimation techniques with structural break. Furthermore, majority of the existing studies use aggregate energy consumption and thus fail to identify the effects of energy consumption by sources on economic growth. By taking into account the importance of structural break, this study analyzes the short run and the long run estimates as well as the causality relationship between economic growth, renewable and non-renewable energy consumption for Turkey in a multivariate model wherein capital and labor are included as additional variables. By including additional variables into the model, we also attempt to handle omitted-variable bias problem. This study finds that renewable energy consumption has an insignificant impact on economic growth while non-renewable energy consumption has a significant positive effect on it. The coefficients on capital and labor are statistically significant. Furthermore, we have enough evidence to support conservation hypothesis and feedback hypothesis between renewable energy consumption and economic growth in the short run and the long run, respectively, and feedback hypothesis between non-renewable energy consumption and economic growth both in the short run and the long run. Several policy implications are further discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
