Abstract

Yabancı sermaye yatırımlarını hukuk, eğitim, sivil ve politik haklar gibi kurumlar etkileyebilmektedir. Bunun yanında kurumların etkisi yabancı sermaye türüne ve ülkelerin gelişmişlik seviyesine göre değişebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 26 gelişmekte olan ve 29 gelişmiş olmak üzere toplam 55 ekonominin 2002-2017 dönemine ait verileri kullanılarak yabancı sermaye yatırımlarını etkileyen kurumsal faktörler, kurumsal faktörlerin ülkelerin gelişmişlik düzeylerine göre değişip değişmediği ve kurumsal faktörlerin doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve yabancı portföy yatırımları türlerine göre değişip değişmediği araştırılmıştır. Çalışma sermaye birikimleri yetersiz ve yabancı sermaye yatırımları yoluyla ekonomik gelişme sağlamak isteyen ekonomiler açısından önem arz etmektedir. Genelleştirilmiş momentler yöntemiyle yapılan çalışma sonuçları, kurumsal faktörlerin yabancı sermaye yatırımlarını etkiledikleri ve kurumsal kalitenin yabancı sermaye yatırımlarını artırdığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve yabancı portföy yatırımları türlerine göre kurumsal faktör etkilerinin pek değişmediği, ancak ülkelerin gelişmişlik farkları esas alındığında yabancı sermaye yatırım türlerine göre kurumsal faktör etkilerinde bazı değişiklikler olduğu belirlenmiştir

The study is important for economies that have insufficient capital stocks and want to achieve economic development through foreign capital investments. The results of the study using generalized moments method showed that institutional factors affect foreign capital investments and that institutional quality increases foreign capital investments. Moreover, it was observed that the institutional factor effects did not change much according to the types of foreign direct investments and foreign portfolio investments. However, it is determined that there are some changes in institutional factor effects according to foreign investment types according to the development differences of countries.
