Article Citation - Scopus: 46Willingness to Pay for Renewable Electricity: A Contingent Valuation Study in Turkey(Elsevier Inc., 2019-12) Dogan, Eyup; Muhammad, IftikharRenewable energy sources are advised as an important alternative vehicle for dealing with a high rate of energy dependency and global warming. Turkey has also an ambitious national energy goal of minimizing energy import and producing 30% of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2023. However, it may not be easy to reach these goals. Willingness to Pay (WTP) thus plays a central role in directing appropriate policies for the country to realize its energy targets. This study reviews previous studies in the same literature as well as examines WTP of Turkish citizens for renewable electricity energy by using a stratified-sample and contingent valuation survey of 2500 households. The results from estimated models show that environmental conscience, membership to an environmental organization, age, education level, gender and income of households are significant determinants of WTP. In addition, the mean value of WTP for green electricity by Turkish households is estimated at around US$ 1 (with the exchange rate 5,3 TL/ US$) per month per household. A number of policy suggestions are further discussed. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Editorial Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Special Issue of International Conference on Economics, Energy and Environment (ICEEE'2020)(Taylor & Francis inc, 2021-04-03) Dogan, EyupArticle Citation - WoS: 78Citation - Scopus: 83How 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, EyupThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16CO2 Emissions, Real GDP, Renewable Energy and Tourism: Evidence From Panel of the Most-Visited Countries(Cesky Statistical office, 2017) Dogan, EyupPrevious studies on the energy-environment-growth literature overlook the investigation of the most-visited countries. Since these countries do not only belong to the largest economies and the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters in the world but are also listed in renewable energy country attractiveness index, this study analyzes the impacts of real GDP, renewable energy and tourism on the level of CO2 emissions for the top 10 most-visited countries. Applying several panel econometric approaches, we find out that renewable energy mitigates the pollution whereas real GDP and tourism contribute to the level of emissions. Thus, regulatory policies are necessary to increase the awareness of sustainable tourism. In addition, the use of renewable energy and the adoption of clean technologies in tourism sector as well as in producing goods and services play a significant role in CO2 mitigation.
