    A Social Approach to Environmental Sustainability: The Nexus Well-Being, Tourism, Digitalization and Renewable Energy in Scandinavian Countries

    Isik, Cem; Ongan, Serdar; Aydin, Buket; Aydin, Rahman; Imamoglu, Ilyas Kays

    This research explores the impact of subjective well-being (SWB) on CO2 emissions in Scandinavian countries based on the need to analyze the effects of social indicators shaping environmental sustainability. The study aims to introduce the Welfare-Based SWB approach to the literature by expanding the classical Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis with the social welfare dimension. SWB is considered in this study to be a social reflection and indirect measure of economic growth, which is the core determinant in the classical EKC hypothesis. The second-generation cointegration test, the Durbin-Hausman, and AMG long-term forecasting methods were used in this context. According to the empirical findings, SWB and digitalization increase carbon emissions, while tourism revenues and renewable energy consumption reduce emissions. The findings indicate that the classical EKC hypothesis is not confirmed and, similarly, an increase in social welfare (SWB) does not automatically lead to environmental improvement. Therefore, policymakers should develop social policies that will increase environmental sensitivity along with an increase in welfare.

    Relationship of tax revenues and public expenditures: ardl bounds testing approach in the case of turkey

    Karabulut, Kerem; Imamoglu, Ilyas Kays; Aydin, Buket

    Public expenditures and tax revenues are used as practical fiscal policy tools in achieving economic targets. Public expenditures and tax revenues are significant for policymakers, especially in reducing budget deficits. For this purpose, in this study, the relationship between tax revenues and public expenditures for Turkey was examined using the ARDL bounds test approach and the Toda-Yamamoto causality test by using data for the periods 2006:Q1-2022:Q2. Considering the result obtained from the study, it was determined that there is no long-term relationship between public expenditures and tax revenues in the ARDL test results. However, according to the Toda-Yamamoto test, it has been determined that public expenditures are the Granger cause of tax revenues. In this direction, when the study’s empirical results are examined, it is concluded that the “Expenditure- Tax Hypothesis” is valid in the Turkish economy.
