This paper will examine the economic, social, and environmental effects of bioenergy using the Ordinary Least Square Method (OLS) and the Fully-Modified Ordinary Least Square Method (FM-OLS) in Brazil, Austria, and Turkey, for 2001-2016. We formed two different equations; the first one aims to see how bioenergy usage, deforestation, and GDP growth rate affect CO2 emission, affecting both the environment and society. We use the second equation for investigating the economic effects of bioenergy, together with the other energy resources. We expect highly significant relationships between the variables; however, the outcome is not relevant to our expectations. Although some of the variables are significant and effective, there is no absolute relationship between the variables. The outcome depends on the different dynamics of the countries, and the Model is open to the outside factors.

The role of feed-in tariffs in emission mitigation: Turkish case Ari, Izzet; Sarı, Ramazan (2015-08-01) The aim of this paper is to present the role of Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) on GHG emission reduction in Turkey. Due to insufficient installed capacity, Turkey can only utilize 27% of its total economically viable renewable energy potential. To increase the share of the renewables, utilization of these sources has become a top priority in the overall energy agenda. Thus, new regulations and policies are introduced. These policies are expected to serve to increase installed capacities of renewable energy power pl...
The determinants of capital flows: the turkish evidence Kara, Serdar Ufuk; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2007) This study investigates the domestic and external determinants of net capital flows to Turkey. The results of the Johansen cointegration analyses indicate that capital flows to Turkey increase in response to increases in domestic real interest rate, domestic real income growth, and budget balance; appreciation of domestic currency; and decreases in financial fragility and the US real interest rates. It can be said that, higher domestic real returns and improved country creditworthiness attract more foreign ...
The relationship between income and environment in Turkey: Is there an environmental Kuznets curve? Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Tunç, Gül İpek (2009-03-01) A B S T R A C T In this study, we investigate the relationship between income and environmental quality for Turkey at two levels. First, the relationship between the CO(2) emissions and per capita income is examined by the help of a time series model using cointegration techniques. In the second stage, the relationship between income and air pollution is investigated by using PM(10) and SO(2) measurements in Turkish provinces. In this part of the study panel data estimation techniques are utilized. The time...
The effects of agricultural liberalization on sectoral water use: A CGE Model for Turkey Çırpıcı, Yasemin Asu (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2011-8) The aim of this study is to construct a water-CGE model for Turkey in order to examine the effects of a reduction in agricultural tariff rates on Turkey’s international trade and on agricultural water use. With agricultural trade liberalization Turkey becomes a net importer of the agricultural products. The agricultural production declines resulting in a reduction in the agricultural water use. The same simulation is considered with an increase in agricultural productivity. The trade distortions resulted fr...
The informal sector and tax on employment: A dynamic general equilibrium investigation Saraçoğlu, Dürdane Şirin (2008-02-01) This paper elaborates on the evolution of the informal sector vis-a-vis the evolution of agricultural and formal sectors in a developing country economy in process of growth. The analytical contribution of this essay extends the Ramsey theory of growth into a framework that includes an informal sector and household preferences that display Engel effects in agricultural and in informally produced goods. Besides showing that the informal sector's importance diminishes over time as the country's economy grows,...
