Özet:

 Global warming and climate change are recognized as one of the most important environmental and economic problems of the last century. For this reason, new studies are added every day in this field. Carbon emissions, which are shown as the most important cause of global warming, result from the intense use of fossil fuels to meet the energy demand. In this context, many countries are trying to limit their carbon emissions with new laws and regulations. One of these regulations is green taxes. In the study, the role of green taxes in reducing carbon emissions that cause global warming and climate change was examined by using linear panel regression methods for the years 1994-2014 in G-7 countries. In the study, firstly specification tests, then deviations from the assumption were tested and parameter estimations were made using AR1 Residual Random Effects model. When the coefficients obtained in the study are examined, it is seen that there is a positive relationship between economic growth and carbon emissions. On the other hand, it is seen that environmental patent applications, environmental taxation and renewable energy consumption variables, which are indicators for monitoring environmental quality, have a negative relationship with carbon emissions.

 Küresel ısınma ve iklim değişikliği, son yüzyılın en önemli çevresel ve ekonomik sorunlarından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle bu alanda yapılan çalışmalara her gün yenileri eklenmektedir. küresel ısınmanın en önemli nedeni olarak gösterilen karbon emisyonları, enerji talebini karşılamak için fosil yakıtların yoğun olarak kullanılmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda birçok ülke yeni yasa ve yönetmeliklerle karbon emisyonlarını sınırlamaya çalışmaktadır. Bu düzenlemelerden biri de yeşil çevre vergileridir. Çalışmada G-7 ülkelerinde 1994-2014 yılları için doğrusal panel regresyon yöntemleri kullanılarak yeşil vergilerin küresel ısınmaya ve iklim değişikliğine neden olan karbon emisyonlarının azaltılmasındaki rolü incelenmiştir. Çalışmada öncelikle spesifikasyon testleri, ardından varsayımdan sapmalar test edilmiş ve AR1 Residual Random Effects modeli kullanılarak parametre tahminleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen katsayılar incelendiğinde ekonomik büyüme ile karbon salınımı arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Öte yandan, çevre kalitesinin izlenmesine yönelik göstergeler olan çevre ile ilgili patent başvuruları, çevre vergilendirmesi ve yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi değişkenlerinin karbon emisyonları ile negatif bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu görülmektedir.
