Causal Interactions Between Co2 Emissions, Financial Development, Energy and Tourism

Abstract

Aim of this study is to investigate the casual relationship between tourism, financial development, energy consumptions and carbon emissions in Turkey and four European Union countries France, Spain, Italy and Greece which are the main competitors of Turkish tourism for the 1995-2010 period. According to the results of the study, for the panel as a whole there are statistically significant feedback effects between the variables. One per cent increase in energy consumption will rise CO 2 emission by 3.02 %, a one per cent increase in the financial development will decrease CO 2 emission by 0.12 % and also one percentage increase in tourist arrival will decrease CO 2 emission by 0.11 %. The causality analysis shows uni-directional causal relationship between the tourist arrivals and financial development. And also there is a bi-directional causality relationship between CO 2 emission, financial development, and energy and tourist arrival.

The relationship between tourism and economic growth among BRICS countries: a panel cointegration analysis

“…Song and Lin [56] found that global financial crisis had a negative impact on both inbound and outbound tourism in Asia. This result is in consistent with Başarir and Çakir [6] for Turkey and four European countries.…”

International Tourism and Economic Growth and Trade: Variance Decomposition Analysis

“…In those cases, the government should first concentrate on economic growth, and this will naturally yield the feedback effects for the development of tourism. Aside from determining the regional effects, from the global standpoint, all Asian countries can concurrently enjoy the benefits of tourism development and economic growth [56][57][58][59].…”

Does the inflow of remittances cause environmental degradation? Empirical evidence from China

“…During the last few years, many researchers have conducted surveys on the issue of "Impact of Financial Development on Carbon Emission." For instance, (Ayeche, Barhoumi, & Amin, 2016;Başarir & Çakir, 2015;Farhani & Ozturk, 2015;Li, Zhang, & Ma, 2015;Mugableh, 2015) concluded that financial development increases the level of carbon emissions. Two main factors can elaborate on the impact of financial development on environmental degradation.…”
