    Revisiting the determinants of carbon emissions for Turkey: the role of construction sector
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2021) Yildirim, Ahmet Eren; Yildirim, Mustafa Ozan
    This study intends to consider the link among carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, real GDP, energy usage, trade, financial development, and construction sector activities in Turkey within the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) framework by employing an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test procedure. The analysis includes the period of 1970-2015 in keeping with available data. The findings of the study show that an increase in construction sector activities plays a positive role in CO2 emissions. The results also argue that CO2 emissions have risen statistically significantly with real GDP and energy usage increases. Furthermore, trade openness positively contributes to carbon emissions, while financial development does not explain environmental pollution in the long term. The study also reveals that the EKC hypothesis holds for Turkey both in the long term and short term. The long-run findings of the study are supported through robustness analysis by applying the dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS), the fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), and the canonical cointegrating regression (CCR) methods. The study suggests that the government should take action against environmental deterioration with efficient policies that save energy and reduce emissions regarding the construction and residential sectors' activities, such as providing financial support and tax cuts for relevant companies.

    The impacts of income inequality on the gross domestic product under direct taxation: evidence from emerging market economies
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2021) Yildirim, Ahmet Eren; Dibo, Mete
    Purpose This study analyzes the impacts of income inequality after direct taxation on the gross domestic product as a fiscal policy tool in the development process. Design/methodology/approach The model of the study is based on Munielo-Gallo and Roca-Sagales (2013), which examined the fiscal policy, income inequality and economic growth simultaneously. The study uses two models to analyze the relationship between income inequality and gross domestic production under direct taxation by employing autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for selected emerging market economies. Finding Empirical results reveal a negative long-run relationship between variables in some countries in line with the literature, despite a positive relationship in others. Moreover, the results exhibit the negative impact of income inequality after direct taxation on the gross domestic product decreases. Originality/value Results of the study highlight the importance of direct taxation on income inequality concerning the reflects on economic growth. It suggests that when the income distribution is fairer, it may positively affect the gross domestic product. The study provides a new perspective to the related literature by investigating the role of income inequality under direct taxation for gross domestic product.
