Article Citation - WoS: 298Citation - Scopus: 325Investigating the Impacts of Energy Consumption, Real GDP, Tourism and Trade on CO2 Emissions by Accounting for Cross-Sectional Dependence: A Panel Study of OECD Countries(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015-12-11) Dogan, Eyup; Seker, Fahri; Bulbul, SerapThe objective of this study is to analyse the long-run dynamic relationship of carbon dioxide emissions, real gross domestic product (GDP), the square of real GDP, energy consumption, trade and tourism under an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries. Since we find the presence of cross-sectional dependence within the panel time-series data, we apply second-generation unit root tests, cointegration test and causality test which can deal with cross-sectional dependence problems. The cross-sectionally augmented Dickey-Fuller (CADF) and the cross-sectionally augmented Im-Pesaran-Shin (CIPS) unit root tests indicate that the analysed variables become stationary at their first differences. The Lagrange multiplier bootstrap panel cointegration test shows the existence of a long-run relationship between the analysed variables. The dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) estimation technique indicates that energy consumption and tourism contribute to the levels of gas emissions, while increases in trade lead to environmental improvements. In addition, the EKC hypothesis cannot be supported as the sign of coefficients on GDP and GDP(2) is negative and positive, respectively. Moreover, the Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality tests exploit a variety of causal relationship between the analysed variables. The OECD countries are suggested to invest in improving energy efficiency, regulate necessary environmental protection policies for tourism sector in specific and promote trading activities through several types of encouragement act.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 49Financial Inclusion and Poverty: Evidence From Turkish Household Survey Data(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-09-30) Dogan, Eyup; Madaleno, Mara; Taskin, DilvinEven though poverty is highly felt in developing economies, the lack of relevant and complete micro-level data limits understanding which households are more exposed to poverty and the role of financial inclusion in poverty in these countries. This research analyzes the effects of financial inclusion proxied by a multidimensional index on three poverty measures (the lowest-income poverty line, a lower-middle-income line, and an upper-middle-income line) by employing the recent Turkish Household Budget and Consumption Expenditure Survey data with 11,595 complete answers. In addition to the application of logistic regressions, this study addresses possible endogeneity issues by using access to the nearest bank as an instrument in a two-stage least-squares regression and employing the novel method as a robustness check. Empirical results point out that an increase in financial inclusion decreases poverty in Turkey. The adverse effect of financial inclusion on poverty is validated through a few robustness and sensitivity analyses. The outcome also indicates that health expenditure and income are essential through which poverty is influenced by financial inclusion. Thus, policies are required to enhance the financial inclusion of households to alleviate poverty. Further discussions are presented in this study.Article Citation - WoS: 89Citation - Scopus: 94A Way Forward in Reducing Carbon Emissions in Environmentally Friendly Countries: The Role of Green Growth and Environmental Taxes(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022-02-21) Dogan, Eyup; Hodzic, Sabina; Sikic, Tanja FaturGiven recent environmental reforms and the focus on the problem of climate change, it is necessary to evaluate whether green growth and environmental taxes can reduce CO2 emissions for countries. Even though a number of studies have analysed the ways to reduce environmental pollution, the literature lacks enough evidence for the role of green growth and environmental taxes in determining the level of carbon emissions. Therefore, the objective of the empirical analysis is to estimate the impacts on CO2 emissions of green growth and environmental taxes by including sustainable indicators for a group of 25 environmentally friendly countries from 1994 to 2018 by applying advanced panel data analysis models. By applying the novel quantile regressions on the largest amount of available data from 1994 to 2018, this article shows that the coefficients of green growth, environmental taxes, renewable energy and energy efficiency are negative at lower, medium and higher quantiles. According to the results of the quantile regression, environmental taxes, renewable energy and energy efficiency are key factors in decreasing CO2 emissions. Overall, renewable energy should be given greater priority through research supports, subsidies and government incentives while environmental taxes should be more implemented to discourage activities that promote pollution.
