Global Challenges for the Environment and Climate Change, 2024
The fact that climatic changes in recent years have occurred at record levels is an indication that a new era awaits the world. The main reason causing global warming is CO2 emission rates. CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use and industrial processes account for approximately two-thirds of current greenhouse gas emissions. Representing 85% of the world's population and 65% of world GDP, G20 countries are also responsible for 76 percent of global emissions. This study will be an analysis of the impact of fiscal policy on the green economy. The performance of the G20 countries with regard to the green economy will be analysed. This study examines data for 2020 using the EDAS methodology, covering sixteen countries by establishing six criteria. According to the empirical findings, the country with the best performance is France, followed by Italy and the UK. The countries with the weakest performance are identified as China, India and USA, respectively.

Public Policy S Role in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals, 2023
The welfare of a country is related to how equitably its national income is distributed, rather than its wealth. The increase in income inequalities between individuals or social classes causes the deterioration of social peace and stability and a slowdown in economic development and growth. In this study, the effect of more than one socio-economic factor on income inequalities was examined in 35 developing countries. The 2019 data compiled for the selected countries were analyzed with the ARAS method. From the findings of the ARAS method, which was carried out using the aforementioned weighting method, it was determined that the countries with the best performance in terms of income justice were Chechia, Estonia, Slovakia, Thailand, and Hungary. The results of the analysis showed that Colombia, Brazil, Mexico, Bolivia, and Bangladesh were the countries with the highest income inequality. The ARAS findings used in the study are theoretically and expectedly satisfactory.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) and privatization are two of the most important components in liberalization World. The aim of this study is to analyze whether there exist a statistically significant relationship between FDI and privatization, or not. To do so, a panel data sample of fourteen European Union (EU) Founder Nations in 1998-2012 was used to estimate various panel data models. The special feature of panel data is that it allows researchers to construct and test more realistic behavioral models that could not be identified using crosssection or time series data alone. Based on the sample results, between privatization as the primary independent variable and FDI was found a statistically significant positive relationship. Although other explanatory variables such as growth, trade openness, and corruption perceptions index, were found to have statistically significant effects on FDI, budget deficit was found to be statistically insignificant. Moreover, statistically significant parameters? signs showed that all of the economic expectations were satisfied.
