Çevre Kalitesi-Ekonomik Karmaşıklık İlişkisi: Türkiye Ekonomisi Üzerine Fourier Eşbütünleşme Analizi

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between environmental quality and economic complexity using the variables of annual economic growth, economic complexity index, energy consumption, and ecological footprint of the Turkish economy for the 1964-2018 period. This study has preferred the Fourier autoregressive distributed lag (ADL) method, which Banerjee et al. (2017) introduced to the literature. The unit root processes of the variables added to the model were investigated using both conventional and Fourier unit root tests. As a result of the Fourier ADL cointegration test, a long-term relationship was found to exist among the variables. The fully modified ordinary least square
