Oğuz, Mustafa Efe
This study forecasts the sectoral energy demand of Turkey in the agriculture, industry, transportation, residence and services sectors for 2023 by means of the ARIMA, Vector Autoregressive and Decomposition statistical methods, and their products are then combined to arrived at a composite, or ensemble forecast. Each of these methods has their own merits and compliments each other. Two scenarios are considered; either the use of entire, unedited data (scenario one), or the absence of the last 3 years of the data to remove the effects of the sudden changes observed at most recent years (scenario two). Finally, forecasts are combined and the results are discussed under the terms of current sectoral policies and strategies of Turkey. The overall analysis indicates that the energy demand is expected to increase by 25% in agriculture, 16.9% in industry, 30.6% in residence and services, 20.9% in transportation sector by 2023. The demand in agriculture sector is the lowest and does not exceed the 6000 ktoe level. Transportation sector's energy demand will be around 20000 ktoe, whereas industry sector demand around 36000 ktoe by the year 2023. The residence and services will have a slightly higher. demand on energy at 46000 ktoe.

Forecasting the primary energy demand in Turkey and analysis of cyclic patterns
Ediger, VS; Tatlidil, H (2002-03-01)
The planning and estimation of future energy demand via modern statistical methods have been officially used in Turkey since 1984. However, almost all previous forecasts proved significantly higher than actual observations because of several reasons discussed here. The cycle analysis, which is a semi-statistical technique that makes use of any cyclicity in the historical data of annual additional amounts of energy demand, appears to give better results than the other techniques for forecasting energy demand...
Forecasting Nigeria's energy use by 2030, an econometric approach
Asumadu-Sarkodie, Samuel; Owusu, Phebe Asantewaa (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
The study examines the causal nexus between energy use, environmental pollution, GDP per capita, and urbanization in order to forecast Nigeria's energy use by 2030. Employing a time-series data spanning from 1971 to 2012, a linear regression analysis is used to examine the causal relationship among the study variables and subsequently forecasted Nigeria's energy use with the ARIMA and ETS models. Evidence from the study shows that a 1% increase in energy use increases carbon dioxide emissions by 3%, while a...
Forecasting Turkish real GDP growth in a data-rich environment
Sen Dogan, Bahar; Midilic, Murat (2019-01-01)
This study generates nowcasts and forecasts for the growth rate of the gross domestic product in Turkey using 204 daily financial series with mixed data sampling (MIDAS) framework. The daily financial series include commodity prices, equity indices, exchange rates, and global and domestic corporate risk series. Forecasting exercises are also carried out with the daily factors extracted from separate financial data classes and from the whole dataset. The findings of the study suggest that MIDAS regression mo...
Forecasting Turkey's Short Term Hourly Load with Artificial Neural Networks
BİLGİÇ KÜÇÜKGÜVEN, MERİÇ; Girep, C. P.; ASLANOĞLU, SAİME YEŞER; AYDINALP KÖKSAL, MERİH (2010-04-22)
Load forecasting is important necessity to provide economic, reliable, high grade energy. In this study, short term hourly load forecasting systems were developed for nine load distribution regions of Turkey using artificial neural networks (ANN) approach. ANN is the most commonly preferred approach for load forecasting. The mean average percent error (MAPE) of total hourly load forecast for Turkey is found as 1.81%.
Disaggregate energy consumption, employment and income in Turkey
Sarı, Ramazan; Soytaş, Uğur (2004-05-01)
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to literature on energy consumption and economic growth relationship by examining how much of the variance in national income growth can be explained by the growth of different sources of energy consumption and employment in Turkey. We use the recently developed generalized forecast error variance decomposition technique of Koop et al. [J. Econom. 74 (1996) 119] and Pesaran and Shin [Econ. Lett. 58 (1998) 17] to determine the information content of the growth rate ...
