Özet:

Purpose: It is important for sustainability to determine eco-innovation by considering spatial relations, since countries with border relations show a common environmental policy or influence each other with their environmental policy approaches. In this study aims, in addition to determining the eco-innovation capacities of countries, revealing the periodic (short-long) spatial interaction with macroeconomic variables. Methodology: Within the scope of the article, dynamic spatial panel data approach is used in order to reveal the eco-innovation capacities in Türkiye and European countries within the framework of sustainable development based on the periods of 2010-2018. Findings: As a result of the analysis applied within the scope of the study, a meaningful spatial relationship is obtained that long- and short-term indirect-direct relationship between countries' eco-innovation and indicators. In this context, the countries in the working group should increase the usability levels of environmentally friendly technologies by considering their spatial relations, increase their environmental innovation practices, and eco-innovation policies should be considered together with their development policies. Originality: The study is the first to determine capacity of eco-innovation by taking into account its dynamic spatial relations at the country level.
