Enerji ekonomisi üzerine üç deneme

This study examines the Turkish economy with respect to a number of energy related issues. It is comprised of three chapters, each utilizing a different methodology. Chapter One shows that Turkey has room for implementing energy efficiency policies without hampering economic growth. Chapter Two examines the level and the evolution of oil price pass-through over time. The findings indicate that oil price pass-through to domestic prices in Turkey increases over time. Chapter Three investigates the role of biofuels in commodity futures price linkages, which is relevant to energy policy issues in Turkey. The findings shows that a channel through biofuels has probably caused links between energy and agricultural commodities by increasing the correlation between them.
