    Toward a green income support policy: investigating social and fiscal alternatives for Turkey
    (Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Tekgüç, Hasan; Yeldan, Alp Erinç; Yeldan, Alp Erinc
    The limited success of employment-based social protection measures under the diverging patterns of post-COVID-19 recovery rekindled interest in a social policy framework known as the Basic Income (BI) support. We test the potential of the BI program using five alternative scenarios ranging from households with income less than half of median income to all adults with estimates of their respective fiscal costs. We then employ an applied general equilibrium model to analyze the economy-wide effects and welfare implications for Turkey in the long run through 2030. We evaluate the macroeconomic and welfare effects of both a business-as-usual fiscal program and an alternative (green BI scenario) comprising of (i) carbon tax levied on the fossil fuel producing industry; (ii) corporate income taxation policy reform that aims at expanding the revenue base and consolidation of the fiscal space of the government; and (iii) restructuring of public consumption expenditures by introducing rationality and efficiency in the structure of fiscal expenditures. Our model solutions reveal that a green BI scenario not only achieves a higher GDP and welfare in the medium to long run but also helps Turkey to reduce its carbon emissions in line with the global policy challenges of a green recovery.

    A new energy-economy-environment modeling framework: Insights from decarbonization of the Turkish power Sector towards net-zero Emission targets
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2024) Yeldan, Alp Erinç; Şahin,Ü.; Teimourzadeh,S.; Tör,O.B.; Voyvoda,E.; Yeldan,A.E.
    The power sector plays a crucial role towards decarbonization for many economies, especially in line with the net-zero targets to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. Technical constraints intrinsic to the sector, penetration of new technologies, investment and operational costs, and its connections with the rest of the economy make the power sector a complex system to analyze. Although there are numerous studies to integrate bottom-up power sector technology models with top-down macroeconomic models, this study is the first attempt to link the three separate and interrelated models within a single framework: an electricity market simulation model, a generation expansion planning model, and an applied general equilibrium model. The proposed framework is implemented to analyze a feasible decarbonization scenario for Türkiye, with a particular focus on the power sector. The results suggest that, given the existing capacity and potential for renewables, Türkiye can achieve a coal-phase out by early 2030s, alongside a trajectory towards a full-fledged fossil fuel phase-out in power generation. The results also indicate that while installed capacity and generation of coal-fired power plants are reduced, real GDP and electricity demand can be maintained and the carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector could be reduced by as much as 50% in 2030 compared to 2018 levels. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Türkiye'de banka kredileri ile emisyonlar arasındaki ilişki: Bir girdi-çıktı analizi yaklaşımı
    (2023) Yeldan, Alp Erinç; Yeldan, Alp Erinç
    Finans sektörünün ekonomi-çevre ilişkisindeki yeri, son zamanlarda önemli bir tartışma konusu haline gelmiştir. Finansın kısa vadeli ve dalgalı doğasına odaklanmak, günümüz finansal sisteminin, özellikle de banka kredilerinin sürdürülebilir ekonomi ve iklim krizi konusundaki sorumluluğunu vurgulamak amacıyla bir araç olarak hizmet etmektedir. 'Özel sektör ve devlet dışındaki aktörlerin, özellikle finansal sistem için geçiş riskleri olmak üzere, bu felaket niteliğindeki iklim değişikliği sorunlarını ve beraberinde getirdiği riskleri çözmek için katılımı gereklidir (Carney, 2015; 2021).' Bu çalışma, Türkiye'de 2005-2020 yıllarını kapsayan bir Girdi-Çıktı Analizi (IOA) perspektifiyle banka kredileri ile üretim ve tüketim temelli emisyonlar arasındaki dinamik ilişkiye odaklanmaktadır. Bu inceleme, üretim temelli emisyonların yanı sıra kredi kaynaklı faaliyetlerden kaynaklanan talep yönlü dolaylı emisyonların değerlendirilmesini içermektedir. Bulgular, özel sektöre tahsis edilen iç krediler ile CO2 emisyonları arasında fark edilebilir bir korelasyonu doğrulamaktadır. Özellikle, araştırma emisyonların tüketim ve üretim perspektiflerinden değerlendirildiğinde farklılık derecelerini ortaya koymaktadır.

    Transforming Türkiye's power system: An assessment of economic, social, and external impacts of an energy transition by 2030
    (Elsevier B.V., 2023) Yeldan, Alp Erinç; Kat,B.; Rogner,M.; Saygin,D.; Taranto,Y.; Yeldan,A.E.
    Türkiye has the long-term goal of transforming its power system to one that is cleaner, more secure and more affordable. According to this paper's scenario analyses, low-cost renewables can supply 55% of Türkiye's total electricity demand. Coupled with the electrification of end-use sectors, energy efficiency can reduce total power demand by 10% compared to a business as usual scenario by 2030. The paper assesses the social, economic, and environmental impacts of this transformation by soft linking a power system model with an applied computable general equilibrium model, using an updated input and output dataset, and employing a novel analysis of job creation and fossil fuel externalities. The power system transformation significantly improves social welfare with net socioeconomic benefits estimated at 1% of GDP by 2030. Positive impacts include a reduction in human health and climate change externalities by a third, which are further enhanced by wage income growth that is driven by higher skilled and better paid jobs. A carbon tax emerges as a critical instrument to realize these benefits whilst reducing the power sector's emissions to 2030. The assessment should be expanded with more ambitious clean energy technology deployment for the entire energy system to operationalize Türkiye's Paris-aligned 2053 net-zero emission target and just transition policies. © 2023
