Abstract

Turkey's CO2 emissions have been steadily increasing since the 1990s. Determining influences of socioeconomic factors behind this increase can help identify which sectors and what types of policies should be prioritized to go into action. This paper identifies the main contributors to CO2 emissions change within five-year intervals during 1990-2015 by adopting the Structural Decomposition Analysis (SDA) method. The results show that CO2 emissions increase was driven by per capita expenditure and population factors, while emission coefficient factor had a reducing effect on emissions. As the production side factors fell pretty behind the consumption side factors, net emissions were positive and the actual determiner in CO2 emissions was found as consumption. The most contributing sectors were Electricity, Land Transportation and Mineral. Speeding up renewable energy investments and continuing energy efficiency measures, placing a carbon tax on electricity and oil consumption, promoting public transport and use of clean fuels and vehicles, slowing down construction and raising consumer awareness to change their consumption behavior, particularly to reduce demand for high emitting products and services should be the top priority policies.

The Impact of Agriculture on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Visegrad Group Countries after the World Economic Crisis of 2008. Comparative Study of the Researched Countries

“…Both studies by Rokicki, Koszela, Ochnio, Golonko, Zak, E.K. Szczepaniuk, H. Szczepaniuk, Perkowska [10] and Alkan and O guş-Binatlı [22] used the method of structural distribution analysis, which, due to the goals of our research, is insufficiently diagnostic. Hence, we chose panel methods due to, firstly: the possibility of using more data, which is important in the conditions of a limited material-spatial scope of research; secondly, wider operationalization of data and taking into account the individual effects under study; thirdly, identification of the causes of the analyzed phenomena and their dynamics on a micro level.…”

“…They build a novel dataset of deflated input-output tables for each of the 28 EU countries [9], which made it possible to carry out the Analysis of the Structural Distribution of Emissions in European Countries since the Economic Crisis. The Structural Decomposition Analysis was used by Alkan and O guş-Binatlı [22] to determine the factors behind the continuously increasing CO 2 emissions in Turkey. They identified the main contributors to CO 2 emissions change within five-year intervals during 1990-2015 by adopting the Structural Decomposition Analysis method.…”
