Emission trading systems are currently the most popular market–based instruments in the combat against climate change. The European Union Emission Trading System is the world's oldest and most mature ETS application. Having announced its net zero targets in February 2022, it is on Türkiye’s agenda to implement an ETS application to meet the country’s net zero targets. While there is rich literature showing the benefits of ETS applications from different perspectives, very few studies question their efficiencies, and no empirical study has tried to measure the macroeconomic rebound effect of an ETS application. Recent econometric methods and novel estimators are used in this study to calculate a possible macroeconomic carbon rebound effect that may exist due to the applications of EU – ETS, a causality analysis is employed and policy suggestions are made at the end of the study.

Comparison of Productivity Plankton Types and Carbon Export Mechanisms in two Different Regimes of Subtropical North Atlantic a Modeling Study Salihoğlu, Barış (2016-02-15) Improved structure and mechanisms of carbon export and sequestration within marine ecosystem models is vital to better understand and predict changes in the global carbon cycle. We have implemented a 1D lower trophic ecosystem model at long-term time-series stations (BATS and ESTOC) in the North Atlantic for the years 1996-2000. We have investigated the dynamics of the productivity and carbon export, and mechanisms regulating them. Our simulations agree with the previous observations that show similar produ...
Estimation of expected monetary values of selected oil fields Kök, Mustafa Verşan; Akın, Serhat (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) As there is uncertainty in estimates of capital, reserves, and net present value in the petroleum industry; risk analysis is the key point for an oil company. It is easy to make decisions after quantifying the uncertainty with ranges of possible values and associated probabilities. Instead of deterministic models, probabilistic evaluations give a wide range of outcomes for decision making. Monte Carlo Simulation is a tool that presents different scenarios and yields probability and value relationships in re...
Investment needs for climate change adaptation measures of electricity power plants in the EU Lise, Wietze; van der Laan, Jeroen (2015-10-01) Climate change is expected to have impacts on the power sector, leading to, among others, a need for adaptation measures in the sector in the near future. This paper analyses the need to adapt to climate change impacts for power generation technologies in Europe until 2100. Europe is broadly divided into four geographic climate zones, for which regional climate change impacts are quantified with the help of the ENSEMBLES RT2b data. The European future technology mix is based on two Eurelectric energy scenar...
Dynamic correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets: The asymmetric impact of volatility expectations in oil, gold and financial markets Kocaarslan, BARIŞ; Sarı, Ramazan; GORMUS, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2017-09-01) This study investigates the impacts of volatility expectations in oil, gold, currency and the U.S. stock markets on time-varying conditional correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets. We use asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation and dynamic conditional correlation models to derive the time-varying relationships. We then examine the dynamic conditional correlations using quantile regressions for a detailed analysis of dependence structure containing non-linear and asymmetric interactions. Our res...
Relationship between oil prices, interest rate, and unemployment: Evidence from an emerging market Dogrul, H. Gunsel; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2010-11-01) While the interrelation between oil price changes, economic activity and employment is an important issue that has been studied mainly for developed countries, little attention has been devoted to inquiries on fluctuations in the price of crude oil and its impact on employment for small open economies. Adopting an efficiency wage model for equilibrium employment that does not require any assumptions regarding labor supply, this paper contributes to the literature by investigating the causality between unemp...
