%0 Journal Article %T Macro economic determinants of renewable energy consumption in the OECD countries: Wind energy model %A Ahmet U£¿ur %A Esma G¨¹ltekin %J - %D 2019 %X In this study, macroeconomic determinants of renewable energy consumption for OECD countries are examined for wind energy. With the panel data analysis from 2000 to 2015, general government final consumption expenditures, government efficiency, per capita energy use, per capita GDP were tested in determining the determinants of wind energy. According to the results of Emirmahmuto£¿lu and K£¿se (2011) causality analysis, no significant result was obtained for the public size variable measured by final consumption expenditures. In addition to this significant findings were obtained from government effectiveness to wind energy for Australia, France, Japan and Turkey economies. Also in Australia, Canada, Turkey, Denmark and Germany for per capita energy use is a significant determiner. The findings of Ozturk's (2010) study were evaluated for the case of testing the economic growth which is one of the basic macroeconomic determinants. According to the results, while the conservation hypothesis is valid for Australia and the United Kingdom, the growth hypothesis is valid for Germany. Expressing the presence of bilateral relations "feedback hypothesis" is valid for Turkey and the Netherlands %K Yenilenebilir Enerji %K R¨¹zgar Enerjisi %K Panel Veri Analizi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/erciyesiibd/issue/46623/535681
