Abstract

The blue economy is a holistic development approach that seeks to balance economic growth, environmental protection, and social welfare through the sustainable use of marine and ocean resources. This study examines the relationship between the blue economy approach and the Sustainable Development Goals and evaluates Türkiye’s potential in this field through comparative country cases. The research adopts a qualitative design based on document analysis and comparative case study methods. In this context, reports of international organizations, policy documents, and academic studies were analyzed, and the experiences of Portugal, Indonesia, and the Maldives were compared in terms of blue economy strategies, institutional structures, priority sectors, and governance capacities. The findings suggest that the blue economy should not be considered merely as a growth model aimed at expanding marine-based economic activities. Rather, it represents a comprehensive development paradigm that requires ecosystem-based planning, multi-level governance, sustainable resource management, and long-term policy coordination. The comparative analysis further indicates that successful blue economy practices are supported by strong institutional capacity, cross-sectoral integration, and environmental sustainability principles. For Türkiye, sectors such as maritime transport, ports, aquaculture, coastal tourism, renewable marine energy, and marine biotechnology present significant opportunities. However, institutional fragmentation, data limitations, pressures on coastal ecosystems, and the absence of a comprehensive national strategy remain key challenges. By addressing the blue economy within an integrated governance and sustainability framework, this study contributes to the literature on sustainable maritime development.

Abstract

This article examines the macroeconomic implications of the emerging postmortem economy at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), the metaverse, digital inheritance, and autonomous digital agency. Conventional macroeconomic models typically define production in terms of physical capital and biologically living human labor. However, the rise of autonomous digital twins, orphaned algorithms, posthumous AI agents, and inherited digital assets challenges this traditional distinction. Digital assets and AI-mediated representations may continue to generate economic value after the death of their original human owners, raising new questions for production theory, inflation dynamics, taxation, liquidity, and income distribution. To address this gap, this article proposes the “ghost factor of production” and introduces “ghost capital” as an analytical category for modeling autonomous and posthumous digital productive capacity. Rather than claiming that deceased individuals continue to work, the framework conceptualizes how data, digital assets, synthetic identities, AI agents, and digital twins may extend economic agency beyond biological life. This article further examines the asymmetric price dynamics associated with AI adoption, defined here as “AI inflation,” and explores how ghost-to-ghost (G2G) commerce among autonomous digital agents may affect liquidity, taxation, and intergenerational wealth distribution. Using conceptual system dynamics and a scenario-based simulation framework, the study discusses potential digital asset liquidity traps and inheritance-tax paradoxes. The article contributes to debates on digital inheritance, AI-mediated production, and metaverse economies by offering a new macroeconomic perspective on postmortem digital agency.
