The convergence of electricity prices for european union countries
(Springer International Publishing, 2020) Telatar,M.E.; Yaşar,N.
The goal of achieving a single European market for electricity has been one of the main objectives for European countries since the “Single European Act” of 1988. The main purpose of this study is to examine whether the aim of unified electricity market has been achieved in terms of the convergence of electricity prices. Β-Convergence and s-convergence tests, are applied for 12 European Union states electricity price data through the period of 2003-2017. For this reason, along with conventional applied techniques, recently improved unit root tests are implemented for both linear and nonlinear data generating processes. The results suggest that convergence did not occur for most of the considered countries. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

The relationship between foreign direct investment and CO 2 emissions across a panel of countries
(Springer International Publishing, 2018) Yaşar,N.; Telatar,M.E.
This paper analyses the relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and pollution emissions for 139 countries during the period of 1970-2015 and the countries are classified into four groups regarding to the World Bank income ranking. The main motivation of this study is to analyse, whether the causal relationship differs between different income groups. For this purpose, panel ARDL (Auto Regressive Distributed Lag) boundary approach and Granger causality test are used. The results of the study indicate that the causal relationship between FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and CO 2 emissions differs depending on which income group country belongs to. We conclude that, while there is not statistically significant short-run causality relationship running from FDI to CO 2 emission for high income, upper middle income and low income group countries, the pollution haven hypothesis is supported for lower middle income group countries. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018.
