@article{2017,title={THE EFFICIENCY OF GREEN GROWTH PRACTICES IN TURKEY},abstractNode={In this study, green growth is emphasized as a concept that will ensure the sustainability of the current systems and the dimensions of its applicability in Turkey and around the world are analyzed. Green growth is a new and different perspective of growth that will enable socio-ecological transformation for countries. Green growth is a process that could be applied to varying geographical and environmental conditions of countries. It is a new paradigm of economic growth, minimizing the ecological risks and caring about the future generations without harming the nature. In this study, the data envelopment analysis is used to determine the green growth efficiency of Turkey and the applicability of green growth. In this context, the green growth indicator data for the years between 2008 and 2012, as determined by OECD for OECD, BRIICS and Turkey are used and the relative efficiency analysis is made for the comparison of the input-output oriented country groups. 7 inputs and 7 outputs are used in the analysis. According to the results of the analysis, Turkey is not a fully efficient country as the OECD and BRIICS countries with regards to green growth in all years. Turkey, compared to the OECD and BRIICS countries, shall overcome its certain structural and systemic shortcomings, although it has a level that would be able to structurally realize and apply the green growth, which is introduced as a new strategy of growth.},author={Veysel YILMAZ-- Adem DOĞAN},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
