Nobel Taltifli Ekonomi Bilim Ödülü Alan İktisatçılar Ve Eserlerinin Sosyal Politika Akademik Alanı Açısından İncelenmesi

Abstract

Nobel
ödülleri esasen ekonomi alanda yapılan çalışmaları kapsamaz. Ancak 1969’dan
beri Nobel Vakfının taltifi ile İsveç Merkez Bankası Sveriges Riksbank
tarafından ekonomi alanında da ödül verilmektedir. Bu çalışma 1969-2018
arasında verilen ekonomi bilim ödüllerinin sosyal politika bilim alanı ile
ilgili olanlarını ayrıştırmak amacı ile hazırlanmıştır. Sosyal politika bilim
alanı, “çalışma ekonomisi” ve “endüstri ilişkileri” kapsamında istihdam,
işsizlik, refahın tesisi, yoksullukla mücadele gibi makro konu bileşenlerini
içermektedir. İlgili dönemi kapsayan 50 yıl ve 80 iktisatçının eserleri tarama
yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Sosyal politika ile ilgili görülenlere internet ve
kütüphane veri tabanı kullanılarak ulaşılmıştır. Eserler gözden geçirilerek
alanla ilgili görüşler okuyucuya yansıtılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda
ekonomik kriz ve savaş dönemlerinin sosyal politika ile ilgili konularda
çalışanların öne çıkmasına etkide bulunduğu, çalışma kapsamında en fazla öne
çıkan konuların yoksullukla mücadele, işsizlik ve işgücü piyasalarının
düzenlenmesi olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca sosyal politika alanında eser üreten
birçok ödüllü iktisatçının Türkiye akademik alanında fark edilmediği tespiti de
yapılmıştır.
