Abstract

Infrastructure investment types, which are an
important determinant of competition power, have many positive effects on the
regional and urban economies. In addition, through the spread effect, their
positive or negative effects on the cities and regions neighboring the city or
region where the infrastructure investments are made can come to the agenda.
Also, in this study, infrastructure investments are divided into economic and
social infrastructure investments by making use of the distinction in the
literature and spillover effects of these types of infrastructure investment on
the urban level in Turkey have been examined.

According to the results of this study, which
has examined the spillover effects of infrastructure investment types for 81
provinces in Turkey by using 2004-2016 annual average data and spatial lag model,
the existence of a positive spillover effect of economic and social
infrastructure expenditure types on the output level has been determined. On
the other hand, it has been concluded that the types of social infrastructure
expenditure consisting of education and health expenditures have higher
positive output effect than the economic infrastructure expenditures consisting
of transportation-communication and energy expenditures.

KENTSEL ALTYAPI YATIRIM HARCAMALARININ MEKÂNSAL YAYILMA ETKİSİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Rekabet gücünün
önemli bir belirleyicisi olan altyapı yatırım türleri, bölgesel ve kentsel
ekonomiler üzerinde pek çok olumlu etkiye sahiptir. Ayrıca altyapı
yatırımlarının gerçekleştirildiği kent veya bölgeye komşu kent ve bölgeler
üzerinde de yayılma etkisi yoluyla olumlu ya da olumsuz etkileri gündeme
gelebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada da literatürdeki ayrımdan da yararlanılarak
altyapı yatırımları ekonomik ve sosyal altyapı yatırımları olarak ikiye
ayrılmış ve bu altyapı yatırım türlerinin Türkiye’de kentsel düzeyde yayılma
etkisi incelenmiştir.

2004-2016
ortalama yıllık verileri ve mekânsal gecikme modeli yöntemiyle Türkiye’de 81 il
için altyapı yatırım türlerinin yayılma etkisinin incelendiği bu çalışma
sonuçlarına göre, ekonomik ve sosyal altyapı harcama türlerinin çıktı düzeyinde
pozitif yayılma etkisinin varlığı belirlenmiştir. Diğer yandan eğitim ve sağlık
harcamalarından oluşan sosyal altyapı harcama türlerinin, ulaştırma-haberleşme
ve enerji harcamalarından oluşan ekonomik altyapı harcamalarına göre çıktıya olan
pozitif etkisinin katsayı anlamında daha yüksek olduğuna dair bulgulara
rastlanmıştır.
