The Link Between E-Waste and Linear Economy Through a Bootstrap Rolling Window Analysis
Abstract
It is known that the dominant economic doctrine in the current economic system is neoclassical economics. The fact that waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) is the fastest growing solid waste in the world may be an important indicator of this linear production and consumption economy model. Therefore, this study empirically tests the relationship between e-waste and (linear) economic growth. According to this analysis, the relationship between total e-waste and economic growth in the countries included in the study (USA, Germany, Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, South Korea, India, Switzerland, Japan, Türkiye) was tested with panel bootstrap causality analysis using annual data for the period 1960-2020. According to the findings of the analysis, a bidirectional causality is found between e-waste and economic growth in all sub-samples for all countries. In this respect, it can be stated that within the framework of the sustainable production and consumption paradigm, a transition from a linear economy to a circular economy seems essential.
