Article Citation - Scopus: 22Transition Towards the Sustainable Development: Unraveling the Effects of Mineral Markets, Belt & Road Initiative, and the Paris Agreement on Green Economic Growth(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04) Xia, Xiqiang; Chishti, Muhammad Zubair; Dogan, EyupThe Agenda 2030 strongly emphasizes implementing effective and equitable measures to address the urgent challenge of global warming, primarily driven by unsustainable fossil-fuel combustion, and one of its core focuses is Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) – 8, among others. In light of this, the recent article aims to explore the dynamic nexus between minerals (MNR), the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the Paris Agreement (PA), green technologies (GT), and green growth, with a specific focus on developing a policy framework for advancing SDG – 8. The study utilizes daily data and advanced econometric tools such as QVAR, Cross-quantileogram, and wavelet-quantile correlation to examine the diverse effects of these factors on green growth across various time horizons. The short-run analysis reveals that MNR, BRI, and GT discourage green growth under most market conditions, except for a few quantiles that exhibit positive or insignificant relationships. In the medium run, impacts are mixed, with both positive and negative effects observed. However, in the long run, MNR, BRI, and GT consistently demonstrate favorable effects on green growth. For PA, short and medium-run effects are mixed, but medium-run results indicate a predominantly positive impact on green growth. In the long run, PA significantly benefits green growth across the majority of market conditions. Overall, the diversified results suggest that minerals, BRI, the Paris Agreement, and green technologies play a crucial role in stimulating green growth to achieve SDG - 8 in the long term. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 43Re-Estimating the Interconnectedness Between the Demand of Energy Consumption, Income, and Sustainability Indices(Springer Heidelberg, 2019-07-10) Ozcan, Burcu; Tzeremes, Panayiotis; Dogan, EyupIn this study, we analyze the time-varying causality linkages between energy consumption, economic growth, and environmental degradation in 33 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, spanning the period 2000 to 2013. The curve causality approach provides evidence of a significant environmental Kuznets curve in 25 countries in the case of the ecological footprint and in 23 countries in the case of the Environmental Performance Index. However, out of them, only Italy, Slovakia, and South Korea have traditional environmental Kuznets curve, in the form of an inverted U-shaped curve. For the remaining countries, different forms of curves are valid. In particular, an N-shaped curve appears to be valid between income and environmental degradation for nearly half of the sample, i.e., for Austria, Belgium, Chile, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Turkey, and the USA. Additionally, bidirectional causality relationships are confirmed among all covariates in most countries. In view of the results, some crucial policy implications would be suggested, such as sustainable development that aims to make a balance between economic growth and environmental protection.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Future of Clean Cooking Energy Access in Emerging Economies by 2030(Springer International Publishing, 2025-03-07) Çakır, Mehmet Ali; Ünlü, Ramazan; Çakir, Sümeyra Çay; Xanthopoulos, PetrosThis study assesses the future of clean energy and technology access for cooking in emerging economic blocs—BRICS, MINT, ASEAN, and MENA—through 2030. Cooking contributes 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with over half of household emissions coming from cooking. Therefore, clean cooking energy is critical for sustainability and human health. The study aims to evaluate the likelihood of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal of universal clean cooking energy access by 2030 and the 2050 net-zero emissions target. Machine learning techniques, such as support vector regression, gradient boosting, and linear regression, alongside an ensemble approach, provide forecasts for these regions. The findings show a varied outlook. Within ASEAN, two countries are expected to reach 100% clean energy access for cooking by 2030, while two are likely to experience a decline. The MENA region shows stronger progress, with eight countries expected to meet the 2030 target. Among BRICS countries, only India is projected to reach full accessibility, while Russia faces a decline. The MINT countries face challenges, with none expected to meet the target, and Nigeria is projected to experience a decrease in clean energy access. The study concludes that the current trajectory makes achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and the 2050 net-zero emissions target unlikely for these regions. Policymakers must reassess their strategies and learn from successful countries to improve outcomes. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 177Citation - Scopus: 196Analyzing the Impacts of Geopolitical Risk and Economic Uncertainty on Natural Resources Rents(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-08) Dogan, Eyup; Majeed, Muhammad Tariq; Luni, TaniaThe determinants of natural resources rents have been extensively analyzed in the resources economics and policy literature; however, the role of geopolitical risk and uncertainty in rents remains unexplored. Given that these indicators are rather volatile and thus important to discover for developing countries which own a large portion of natural resources in the world, this study aims to examine the effects of geopolitical risk and economic policy uncertainty on natural resources rents in a group of developing economies by applying the novel panel quantile estimation technique on the panel data over 1985-2018. The empirical results suggest that geopolitical risk has a negative impact on the natural resources rents for all quantiles while economic growth increases natural resources rents across middle-and-high quantiles. In contrast, the influence of economic policy uncertainty on resources rents varies across the quantiles. The uncertainty increases natural resources rents in low quantiles and decreases rents in high quantiles. Thus, quantile regression results reveal heterogeneous impacts of the selected main determinants of natural resources rents. Important policy implications are further discussed in the study.
