Abstract:

 The Autoregressive Distributed Lag ARDL bounds test approach is used in this study to provide empirical evidence about the impact of renewable energy usage, exchange rate, and inflation rate on agricultural sector employment in Turkey from 1990 to 2019. According to the studys findings, a 1 increase in renewable energy usage will raise agricultural sector employment by 1.06 in the short run, a 1 inflation will reduce agricultural sector employment by 0.12, and a 1 Turkish Lira appreciation will raise agricultural sector employment by 0.4. The long-run ARDL model results show a 1.06 decrease in agricultural sector employment for every 1 increase in renewable energy use, whereas inflation shows a 0.09 decrease in agricultural employment for every 1 inflation rate, while every 1 Turkish Lira appreciation increases agricultural employment by 0.08. Based on these study findings, renewable energy promotes agricultural employment in the short run. In the meantime, long-term renewable energy development cannot accommodate agricultural sector employment. As a result, Turkey must devise a long-term renewable energy development strategy that will increase employment while keeping inflation and exchange rates stable and not harming agricultural employment.

 Bu araştırma, 19902019 döneminde yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı, döviz kuru ve enflasyonun Türkiyede tarım sektörü istihdamı üzerindeki etkisi hakkında Autoregressive Distributed Lag ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı kullanılarak ampirik kanıtlar sağlamak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçları, kısa dönemde yenilenebilir enerji kullanımında 1lik bir artış için tarım sektörü istihdamının 1,06 oranında artacağını, enflasyon oranındaki 1lik bir artışın tarım sektörü istihdamını 0,12sini azaltacağını, 1 Türk lirasını değerlenmesinin ise tarım sektörü istihdamını 0,4 artırdığını göstermektedir. Uzun dönem ARDL modeli sonuçları, yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı ile tarım sektörü istihdamı arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğunu ve tarım sektörü istihdamında 1,06lık bir düşüş ve yenilenebilir enerji kullanımında 1lik bir artış olduğunu gösterirken, tarım sektörü istihdamında yüzde 0,09luk bir azalma enflasyon oranındaki 1lik bir artışa karşılık gelirken, her 1 Türk lirası değerlenmesi tarım sektörü istihdamını 0,08 oranında artırıyor. Bu araştırmanın sonuçları, kısa vadede yenilenebilir enerjinin tarımsal istihdamı teşvik eden itici güç olarak tanımlandığını göstermektedir. Bu arada, uzun vadede yenilenebilir enerji gelişimi, tarım sektörü istihdamını karşılayamıyor. Bu nedenle Türkiye, tarım sektöründe istihdamı artırabilecek yenilenebilir enerjiyi uzun vadede geliştirmeyi planlamalıdır. Türkiyenin de tarım sektöründe istihdamı olumsuz etkilememesi için enflasyonu ve döviz kurunu düşük tutması gerekiyor.
