Abstract

Yüzyıllar boyunca gelir ve gelir dağılımı sorunu iktisat
biliminin en önemli tartışma konularından biri olmuştur. Gelir dağılımındaki
adaletsizlik sadece ekonomik değil, sosyal ve politik açıdan da pek çok soruna
neden olduğu için çözülmesi gereken öncelikli bir problem haline gelmiştir.
Gelirin adaletsiz dağılımı sonucu oluşan sosyo-ekonomik eşitsizliğin azaltılması
ve bu yönde önlem alınabilmesi için gelir adaletsizliğine sebep olan
faktörlerin ortaya konulması önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada 2005-2015 dönemi
BRIC-T ülkelerindeki gelir adaletsizliği panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir.
Bulgulara göre; BRIC-T ülkelerinde enflasyon oranı, kamu gelirleri ve ekonomik
küreselleşmenin gelir adaletsizliğini arttırdığı ortaya konulmuş, AR-GE
harcamalarının ise gelir adaletsizliğini azalttığı görülmüştür.

The effects of macroeconomic variables on income inequality: Panel data analysis for BRIC-T countries

Abstract

Over the centuries, the issue of income and income
distribution has become one of the most important debates in economics. The
inequality of income distribution has become a priority problem to solve since
it causes many problems not only economically but also socially and
politically. In order to reduce the socio-economic inequality resulting from
unequal distribution of income and to take precautions, it is important to
determine the factors that cause income inequality. In this study, income
inequality has been examined by panel data analysis in the BRIC-T countries for
2005-2015 period. According to findings, in BRIC-T countries, it has been shown
that inflation rate, public revenues and economic globalization increase income
inequality and research and development expenditures decrease income
inequality.
