Abstract:

 The aim of the paper is to test the validity of the double dividend hypothesis in the five OECD countries with the highest environmental taxes Türkiye, Slovenia, Latvia, the Netherlands and Denmark using panel data analysis. With this motivation, the paper analyses the effects of environmental taxes on the load capacity factor and unemployment through two models for the period 1997-2022. According to the empirical findings, environmental taxes are cointegrated with both the load capacity factor and unemployment. The coefficient results of the first model reveal that environmental taxes positively affect the load capacity factor in Türkiye and Slovenia as well as at the panel level. Environmental taxes cause environmental degradation only in Denmark. In the second model, environmental taxes reduce unemployment in Latvia, the Netherlands, Denmark and at the panel level. In sum, the paper confirms the double dividend hypothesis for the panel.

 Çalışmanın amacı, en yüksek çevre vergisine sahip beş OECD ülkesinde Türkiye, Slovenya, Letonya, Hollanda ve Danimarka çifte kazanç hipotezinin geçerliliğini panel veri analizi yardımıyla test etmektir. Bu motivasyonla araştırma, 1997-2022 dönemi için çevre vergilerinin yük kapasitesi faktörü ve işsizlik üzerindeki etkilerini iki model ile incelemektedir. Ampirik bulgulara göre, çevre vergileri hem yük kapasitesi faktörü hem de işsizlik ile eşbütünleşiktir. İlk modelin katsayı sonuçları, panel düzeyinin yanı sıra Türkiye ve Slovenyada çevre vergilerinin yük kapasitesi faktörünü pozitif etkilediğini göstermektedir. Çevre vergileri sadece Danimarkada çevresel tahribata neden olmaktadır. İkinci modelde ise, Letonya, Hollanda, Danimarka ve panel düzeyinde çevre vergileri işsizliği azaltmaktadır. Özetle, çalışma panel için çifte kazanç hipotezini onaylamaktadır.
