AB ÜLKELERİNDE KAMUDAKİ KURUMSAL KALİTENİN EKONOMİK BÜYÜMEYE ETKİSİ: PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ

Abstract

Literatürde kurumsal faktörler ve ekonomik performans arasındaki ilişkiye dair birçok ampirik çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmaların bazısında ilgili değişkenler arasında tek yönlü bazısında ise çift yönlü ilişkiler gözlemlenmiştir. Bu araştırmada mevcut literatüre dayanarak, 2002-2019 dönemi için AB Ülkelerindeki kamudaki kurumsal kalitenin, ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki olası etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan kurumsal kalite serisi; Hükümet etkinliği, düzenleyici kalite, yolsuzluğun kontrolü, hukukun üstünlüğü, hesap verebilirlik, siyasi istikrar ve şiddetin / terörizm yokluğu değerlerinin aritmetik ortalaması alınmak suretiyle oluşturulmuştur. Elde edilen bulgularda; kamudaki kurumsal kalite arttıkça, ekonomik büyümenin de arttığı tespit edilmiştir.
