Abstract

Bu çalışmada Avrupa Birliği üyesi 28 ülkenin 2016 ve 2018 yıllarındaki döngüsel ekonomi performansları karşılaştırılmaktadır. AB üyesi ülkelerin göreli etkinlikleri çıkan sonuçlara göre yorumlanmaktadır. Analiz olarak Veri Zarflama Analiz (VZA) yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Analiz kapsamında üç girdi ve iki çıktı olmak üzere toplam beş değişken ele alınmaktadır. Analiz sonucunda CCR girdi yönelimli modele göre 2016 yılında döngüsel ekonomi performansı iyi olan ülke sayısı 12 iken 2018 yılında 13 ülke olduğu görülmektedir. BCC modeline göre de 2016 yılında döngüsel ekonomi performansı iyi olan ülkeler 14 iken 2018 yılında 16 ülkenin performansı iyi durumdadır. Bu durum AB üyesi ülkelerde döngüsel ekonomi sürecine yönelik çabaların varlığına işaret etmektedir. Döngüsel ekonomi performanslarına yönelik en kötü skorlara sahip olan ülkelerin sayısı analiz yöntemine göre değişmektir. Ancak genel itibariyle kötü performanslara sahip ülkeler şu şekildedir: Malta, Estonya, Yunanistan, Bulgaristan, Portekiz, İtalya, İspanya, Hırvatistan ve Slovakya’dır. Bu çalışma AB ülkelerinin döngüsel ekonomiye bakış açılarını analiz etmek için ve AB ülkelerinde döngüsel ekonominin gelecekte ne gibi etkileri olabileceğini anlamak için uygundur.

Circular Economy Performance of European Union Countries

Year 2022, Volume: 23 Issue: 1, 94 - 114, 14.01.2022

Abstract

In this study, the circular economy performances of 28 European Union member countries in 2016 and 2018 are compared. The relative efficiency of EU member states is interpreted according to the results. As the analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is used. Within the scope of the analysis, a total of five variables, three inputs and two outputs, are considered. As a result of the analysis, according to the CCR input-oriented model, while the number of countries with good circular economy performance was 12 in 2016, it is seen that there are 13 countries in 2018. According to the BCC model, while 14 countries had good circular economy performance in 2016, 16 countries performed well in 2018. This indicates the existence of efforts towards the circular economy process in EU member states. The number of countries with the worst scores for circular economy performances varies according to the analysis method. However, the countries with poor performance in general are as follows: Malta, Estonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Portugal, Italy, Spain, Croatia and Slovakia. This study is appropriate to analyze the perspectives of EU countries on circular economy and to understand what effects the circular economy might have in the future in EU countries.
