This study analyzes the interaction of carbon prices in the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) with other possible determinants. In the study, the relationship of carbon prices with the indicative variables related to industrial production, economic expectations, weather conditions and fossil fuels has been discussed within the framework of ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) co-integration method. Both the short-term and long-term relationships of this interaction have been put forward. In addition, the causality relationship among the variables is presented by adopting the Toda-Yamamoto Granger Non-Causality test approach. The most important feature that differentiates this study from its peers is the inclusion of the effects of the Paris Agreement and following two years into the analysis. In this way, all the building blocks of the international climate change regimes can be handled together and an adequate timeframe to see the effects of regime changes can be captured clearly. From the empirical analysis it is found that short-run and long-run determinants of emission allowance prices differ. In the short-run economic sentiment and itself affect the emission allowance prices negatively while one month lagged heating degree day affect them positively. In the long-run coal price and industrial production index affect the prices positively and natural gas price affects emission allowance prices in negative direction.

Drivers of carbon prices in the European Union emission trading scheme Uludağ, Arda; Tunç, Gül İpek; Department of Economics (2019) This thesis analyzes the interaction of the carbon prices in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) with other macroeconomic variables. In the thesis, the relationship of carbon prices with the indicative variables related to industrial production, economic expectations, weather conditions and stock markets, mainly fossil fuels, has been discussed within the framework of ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) co-integration method. Both the long-term and short-term relationships of this interac...
The impact of the european union upon european identity Görgün, Tuğrul; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of International Relations (2004) This study examines the making of the European identity concept under the impact of the European Union (EU) project. In order to define the structure of the European identity, theoretical and historical aspects have been scrutinised. Besides, the Eurobarometers (EBs) have been used to analyse the condition of European identity perception among the people of the member countries. The results of the EBs data show that the popularisation of the European identity is limited and the elite character of this ident...
The Effects of exchange rates, oil prices, global risk perceptions and global warming on food prices Dağdelen, Derya; Soytaş, Uğur; Department of Business Administration (2012) This thesis examines the relationship between food prices, oil prices, carbon emission prices, exchange rates and global risk perception. To obtain the effects of these variables on the food prices, Toda and Yamamoto procedure is employed for 5-day week daily time series covering the period February 27, 2008 and March 21, 2011. The empirical results indicate that only volatility index Granger causes food prices. Furthermore, according to results of generalized impulse response plots food prices respond to a...
Cohesion and Competition of Europe: Innovation Policy from the Perspective of Networks and Entropy ÇETİNKAYA, Umut Yilmaz; Erdil, Erkan (2016-01-01) This study analyzes the innovation performance of the European Union in the context of the European Research Area (ERA). Literature related to the Systems of Innovation, network studies, Framework Programs and the European Research Area will be used to establish a theoretical framework for policy analysis. It forms a database from three different resources to establish a European Research and Innovation Network, which appears as a result of policy and program implementation at the European level. The evalua...
THE EU ASYLUM POLICY IN TIMES OF CRISIS: REGULATORY GOVERNANCE THROUGH AGENCIES Canlar, Eray; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of International Relations (2022-7-20) This thesis explores the historical evolution of the regulatory governance of the European Union (EU) in different policy fields, mainly focusing on the EU asylum policy. Utilizing historical institutionalism and securitization literature, the thesis seeks to examine the regulatory governance of the EU asylum policy which, like the other policy field examples, displays a security-oriented and crisis-driven institutional path dependency that leads to regulatory agencification processes. Moreover, the thesis ...
