Abstract (2. Language): 
Today, especially in developing countries, environmental pollution threatens human life. Environmental quality is one of the most important sources of human welfare. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the relationship between environmental degradation, income and energy consumption. The aim of this study is to investigate the nature of relationships among the carbon dioxide emissions, economic growth and energy consumption for emerging economies. For this purpose, Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis have been tested for 10 emerging economies for the years from 1980 to 2010. Data were brought together from the World Bank development indicators database. In order to test of Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis IPS panel unit root, Pedroni panel cointegration and FMOLS estimation methods are used. Results indicate that energy consumption has a positive and significant effect on carbon dioxide emissions. The findings also show that CO2 emissions follow an inverted U-shape pattern associated with the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis. This situation validates the policies which assert that environmental pollution decreases with income growth.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Günümüzde özellikle gelişen ülkelerde çevre kirliliği insan yaşamını tehdit etmektedir. Çevresel kalite ise insan refahının en önemli kaynaklarından birisidir. Bu nedenle çevresel bozulma, gelir düzeyi ve enerji tüketimi arasındaki ilişkiyi anlamanın önemi sürekli artmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı gelişen ülkelerde karbondioksit emisyonu, ekonomik büyüme ve enerji tüketimi ilişkisinin doğasını araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezi, 10 gelişen ülke ve 1980-2010 dönemi için test edilmiştir. İstatistiki göstergeler Dünya Bankasının, dünya kalkınma göstergeleri veri tabanından bir araya getirilmiştir. Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezinin testinde IPS birim kök, Pedroni eşbütünleşme ve FMOLS tahmin metotları kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular ilk olarak enerji tüketiminin karbondioksit emisyonu üzerinde pozitif işaretli ve anlamlı etkisi olduğuna işaret etmektedir. İkinci olarak bulgular çevresel bozulmanın Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezinde öne sürüldüğü üzere ters U şeklinde bir patika izlediğini göstermektedir. Bu durum gelişen ülkeler için gelir düzeyinin büyümesi ile çevre kirliliğinin azalacağını öne süren politikaları onaylamaktadır.
