    Economic growth and fisheries biocapacity in BRICS+T: An Environmental Kuznets Curve analysis
    (Ege University, 2025-03) Canbay, Şerif; Şengül, Serkan; 278780; 355807
    This study evaluates the robustness of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis by examining the association between economic growth and fisheries biocapacity in BRICS+T countries, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Türkiye. Panel bootstrap causality test is utilized to evaluate the causal relationship between the variables using data covering the period 1992-2022. The results show that the EKC hypothesis is held for Russia, South Africa and Türkiye and that economic growth initially causes to a decrease in fisheries biocapacity, but after a certain threshold, biocapacity recovers. In contrast, the EKC hypothesis is not supported for Brazil, China and India. These findings necessitate governments to take policy measures to promote environmental sustainability.
