Financial sector development, external debt, and Turkey’s renewable energy consumption

Abstract

The primary aim of this paper is to provide fresh evidence by testing the linkage between renewable energy consumption, financial development, and external debts in Turkey, using the Bootstrap ARDL test (McNown et al. 2018). The Bootstrap ARDL test is desired over traditional co-integration tests due to its ability to predict when resolving power and size limitation issues, and its corresponding features, which have not been addressed by traditional co-integration tests. The ARDL testing model is employed to investigate the coefficients amongst the selected variables. The findings from the ARDL test illustrate that there is a positive linkage between renewable consumption and Turkey’s financial development. Furthermore, the outcomes illustrate that the coefficient of external debt is negative and significant. The results indicate that policymakers in Turkey must use the growth of the financial sector to minimize environmental degradation by promoting investment in energy and production through renewable energy sources. Furthermore, the research suggested that Turkey’s policy-makers should reformulate the external debt policy to reduce the negative influence of external debt on sustainable energy development. This could potentially be achieved by removing any restrictions on international capital flow or barriers on foreign capital and foreign investment. Hence, the findings of this paper provide valuable conclusions and recommendations for Turkey heading to sustainable and green financial sector.

“…Furthermore, the CV over the specific estimation techniques accepts only one focused variable to be endogenous. 53 In contrast, the CV in the upgraded ARDL model allows for all focused variables to be endogenous. In addition, the upgraded model is recommended for empirical models that combine more than one selected variable.…”

Environmental cost of financial development within the framework of the load capacity curve hypothesis in the BRICS economies: Do renewable energy consumption and natural resources mitigate some burden?

“…Environmental degradation is growing along with financial development due to the BRICS nations' enterprises receiving support, mostly in the form of bank loans and improved access to external finance, which in turn contributes to an increase in the size of investment. The stock market also has a larger scale impact on the BRICS countries, which is accelerating environmental deterioration as well as enhancing economic growth (Jabari et al, 2022).…”

“…The ARDL Bounds Test has been widely applied in various research areas. For instance, it has been used to analyze the link between employment and R&D spending in Turkey (Doğaner, 2022), to investigate the impact of climate change on maize production in Mali (Maïga et al, 2021), to test the J-Curve hypothesis for the Turkish economy (Yılmaz et al, 2017), to analyze the link between the use of renewable energy and economic expansion (Can & Korkmaz, 2019), to explore the relationship between Turkey's financial sector expansion, external debt, and use of renewable energy (Jabari et al, 2022), to examine the direct effects of changes in oil prices on foreign direct investment flows in South Africa (Tala & Hlongwane, 2023), to investigate Economic Growth, Financial Development and Trade Openness in Türkiye (Karataş & Ergül, 2023).…”
