Abstract

The tendency of depletion of non-renewable resources and the environment’s continuous degradation have been considered in the last centuries acceptable as side effects for achieving the economic growth and satisfying the human needs in the conditions of demographic growth following an upward trend. An adequate response to all these challenges is related to increasing the share of green GDP in total GDP, to green procurement and to the large-scale promotion of circular economy. At EU level, there are appropriate legislation and programs and packages aimed at implementing green procurement and the circular economy. There are also "prize-winner" countries that have adopted National Green Procurement Plans before they became mandatory, countries that have found it harder to adopt this type of plans, but also countries that have not adopted National Green Procurement Plans such as Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Luxembourg and Romania. The article focuses on an analysis of the impact of national green procurement plans adoption on circular economy in the European Union member states for the period 2007-2018, with the help of an unrestricted VAR panel (PVAR), based on three hypotheses according to which the impact of these plans’ adoption is positive on economic growth, CO2 emissions and circular economy. Data taken from Eurostat and processed using E-Views 9 econometric software allowed the validation of research hypotheses, confirming the positive impact of the adoption and implementation of green procurement national plans on some significant indicators characterizing the circular economy, which is likely to encourage the generalization of concerns regarding the adoption of coherent public policies in all Member States.
绿色采购:现实与前景
在过去的几个世纪里,不可再生资源的枯竭趋势和环境的持续退化被认为是在人口增长呈上升趋势的情况下实现经济增长和满足人类需求的副作用。充分应对所有这些挑战涉及提高绿色GDP在GDP总额中的份额、绿色采购和大规模推广循环经济。在欧盟层面,有适当的立法、计划和一揽子计划旨在实施绿色采购和循环经济。还有一些“获奖”国家在国家绿色采购计划成为强制性计划之前就已经采用了这些计划,这些国家发现更难采用这类计划,但也有一些国家没有采用国家绿色采购规划,如爱沙尼亚、希腊、匈牙利、卢森堡和罗马尼亚。本文重点分析了2007-2018年期间,在无限制VAR小组(PVAR)的帮助下,欧盟成员国采用国家绿色采购计划对循环经济的影响,基于三个假设,根据这些假设,这些计划的采用对经济增长、二氧化碳排放和循环经济具有积极影响。从欧盟统计局获得并使用E-Views 9计量经济软件处理的数据使研究假设得以验证,证实了绿色采购国家计划的通过和实施对循环经济的一些重要指标产生的积极影响,这可能会鼓励所有会员国普遍关注采取连贯一致的公共政策。
