Abstract

In this study, taking into account the data of the Eurasian Economic Union member countries (Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia) and Turkey between the years 2000-2018, the relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, per capita income, and electrical energy consumption has been analysed by applying a random effect, fixed effect and generalised method of moments, which are the panel data methods. This study, which examines the Eurasian Economic Union and Turkey, which is expected to be a member in the future, is guided by its empirical results in terms of directing the energy policies of the selected country group. According to the empirical findings obtained from the analysis, the increase in electrical energy consumption increases carbon dioxide emissions.
