The agricultural sector plays a vital role in ensuring food security and supporting sustainable economic growth. However, climate change and global warming pose significant challenges to the long-term viability of agricultural production, underscoring the need for sustainable agricultural practices. Adopting clean technologies and environmentally responsible policies is essential for balancing economic and agricultural sustainability while minimizing ecological harm. Supportive and protective agricultural inputs are widely used to enhance productivity, yet excessive, unregulated use can lead to environmental degradation. This deterioration negatively impacts ecosystems, reducing biodiversity and straining natural resources. The Load Capacity Factor (LCF) serves as a critical metric for assessing the environmental footprint of agricultural activities. This paper investigates the effects of agricultural value-added, pesticide use, and fertilizer application on LCF in BRICS-T countries. The findings indicate that these variables exhibit long-term cointegration, with varying short- and long-term impacts. To ensure the sustainability of agricultural production while safeguarding ecosystems, it is essential to integrate clean technologies, precision farming, and regenerative agricultural practices into policy frameworks. Sustainable agricultural systems and environmentally conscious policies are fundamental to securing resilient food production and long-term economic stability.

Akyol, Mehmet; Mete, Emrullah
Enerji sanayi devriminden bu yana ülkelerin ekonomik büyümeyi sağlayabilmek için en önemli girdi olmuştur. Ancak enerjinin tükenebilir olması ve çevreye zarar veren kaynaklardan üretilmesi yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarını ve tüketimini ön plana çıkarmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı çevresel inovasyon, ekonomik büyüme ve doğrudan yabancı yatırımların yenilenebilir enerji tüketimi üzerinde etkilerini araştırmaktır. Yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinden 10 ülkenin 2000-2018 dönemine ait verilerinin kullanıldığı çalışmada Gengenbach Urbain ve Westerlund (2008) panel eşbütünleşme analizi ve Emirmahmutoğlu ve Köse (2011) panel nedensellik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Eşbütünleşme analizi sonuçlarına göre çevresel inovasyon ve ekonomik büyüme yenilenebilir enerji tüketimini negatif yönlü, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ise pozitif yönlü etkilemektedir. Nedensellik analizi sonuçlarına göre yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin ekonomik büyümenin nedeni olduğu, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin nedeni olduğu ve çevresel inovasyonun yenilenebilir enerji tüketiminin nedeni olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Akyol, Mehmet; Mete, Emrullah
Günümüzde kaynakların kıt olması ve teknolojik gelişmelerin herülkede gerçekleşmemesi nedeniyle verimlilik ülkeler için ekonomikgelişmeyi sağlayan önemli bir enstrüman olmuştur. Genel olarak işgücüverimliliğindeki artışın ülkeler için ihracat, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlarve ekonomik büyüme gibi makro ekonomik enstrümanları hareketegeçirdiği kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada iş gücü verimliliği ile ihracatve doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar arasındaki ilişki geçiş ekonomileri ülkeleriiçin 2005-2019 döneminde incelenmiştir. Dumitrescu ve Hurlin panelnedensellik analizinin kullanıldığı çalışmada, işgücü verimliliği ile ihracatarasında bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilemezken, işgücü verimliliğindendoğrudan yabancı yatırımlara doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespitedilmiştir. Analiz sonuçları söz konusu ülkelerde işgücü verimliliğinindoğrudan yabancı yatırımların nedeni olduğunu ifade etmektedir.

Akyol, Mehmet; Mete, Emrullah
Global warming and climate change, caused by greenhouse gas emissions, have compelled all countries to reconsider their production factors. Developing technologies to reduce emission volumes has been one of the priority targets for countries. This study investigated the impact of environmental technological innovations on CO2 emissions in 18 OECD members. The panel generalized method of moments (GMM)was employed in the study to produce estimates for the period between 2005 and 2018. Energy consumption, economic growth (GDP), and technological innovation data were used as independent variables in the study, CO2 emissions were used as dependent variable, whereas the number of patents preventing climate change was used as a technological innovation indicator. The analysis results showed that a 1% increase in patent applications for preventing climate change reduced CO2 emissions by 0.02%. However, a 1% increase in energy consumption caused an increase of 0.56% in CO2 emissions. Finally, the 1% increase in the GDP growth rate caused an increase of 0.002% in CO2 emissions.

Akyol, Mehmet; Mete, Emrullah
In today's international trade conditions, countries need to complete their technological developments in order to increase their competitiveness and economic growth. High technology exports are very important, especially for countries aiming for export-oriented growth. In this study, the effect of export and import performance according to technology intensity on the economic growth were analyzed for Turkey. In this context, data for the period 2002-2018 were analyzed with the ARDL boundary test approach. According to the analysis results, it was determined that low, low-medium, medium-advanced and advanced technology exports and imports and economic growth are co-integrated.

Introduction Exports of high-tech products have gained considerable importance along with globalization and increasing competition in the world economy. Countries have become increasingly in need of exports of high-tech products in order to be competitive and to increase their market shares as well as to protect their current status in markets. In order to overcome the squeeze experienced in world trade, companies and countries increased their research and development expenses to innovate. This process, which manifests itself in producing the current product at a lower cost and/or creating a new product, changed the shares of countries in world trade and hence has become an important part of foreign trade. There is a significant number of studies in the empirical literature indicating that research and development expenses improve innovation which eventually lead to increase in the share of high-tech products in total exports of countries. Since the high-tech product means high value added product at the same time, the increase in exports of high-tech products will also facilitate the economic growth. Thus, it is also important nowadays that countries take the issue of the technology concentration into account and apply it in the scope of their export support programs. It should be taken into consideration by public authorities who design support policies for exporting that the aim of increasing export performance, competitiveness, and market share in foreign trade can be reached through exporting of high-tech products. This study investigates the impact of export….
