Özet:

The study examines the macroeconomic determinants of renewable energy consumption for OECD countries, wind energy. In panel data analysis covering the 2000-2015 years, the determiners of wind energy were tested by the general government’s final consumption expenditure, government efficiency, energy consumption per person and the variables of the GDP per person. The implemented Emirmahmutoğlu and Köse (2011) causes analysis results have not achieved a meaningful result for the public size variable measured by the final consumption spending. In addition, significant findings have been obtained from the government activity for Australia, France, Japan and Turkey towards wind energy. In addition, for Australia, Canada, Turkey, Denmark and Germany, the energy consumption per person is a meaningful determiner. For the fact of the test of economic growth, one of the basic macroeconomic determinants, the findings of Öztürk's (2010) study have been evaluated. According to the results obtained, the “protection hypothesis” applies to Australia and the United Kingdom, while the “growth hypothesis” applies to Germany. The “back notification” hypothesis that expresses the existence of mutual relations has been found valid for Turkey and the Netherlands.

Özet:

In this study, macroeconomic determinants of renewable energy consumption for OECD countries are examined for wind energy. With the panel data analysis from 2000 to 2015, general government final consumption expenditures, government efficiency, per capita energy use, per capita GDP were tested in determining the determinants of wind energy. According to the results of Emirmahmutoğlu and Köse (2011) causality analysis, no significant result was obtained for the public size variable measured by final consumption expenditures. In addition to this significant findings were obtained from government effectiveness to wind energy for Australia, France, Japan and Turkey economies. Also in Australia, Canada, Turkey, Denmark and Germany for per capita energy use is a significant determiner. The findings of Ozturk's (2010) study were evaluated for the case of testing the economic growth which is one of the basic macroeconomic determinants. According to the results, while the conservation hypothesis is valid for Australia and the United Kingdom, the growth hypothesis is valid for Germany. Expressing the presence of bilateral relations "feedback hypothesis" is valid for Turkey and the Netherlands.
