Türkiye'nin bölgeleri arasında üretim yapısı ve dolayısıyla gelir itibariyle önemli farklar sergilediği pek çok çalışma tarafından ortaya koyulmuştur. Bu çalışma, bölgesel farklılıklara firma büyümesi ve büyüklük perspektifinden yaklaşmaktadır. Öncelikle, İBBS-II bölgeleri düzeyinde 2009-2013 dönemini kapsayan TÜİK Yıllık Sanayii ve Hizmet İstatistikleri mikro veri seti kullanılarak hızlı büyüme sergileyen firma dağılımlarının bölgesel olarak gösterdiği farklılıklar ortaya koyulmuştur. Daha sonra, firma büyümesi-büyüklük ilişkisi ve büyümenin bölgesel belirleyicileri araştırılmıştır. Literatürle uyumlu olarak büyüklük büyümeyi etkilemektedir. Bunun yanında, bölgesel faktörler de beklenildiği gibi firma büyümesi üzerinde etkilidir. Ayrıca, panel probit yöntemi ile tahmin edilen modele göre firmaların hızlı büyüme olasılığında bölgesel faktörlerin önemi ortaya çıkmaktadır.

High-growth Firms and Regional Factors

Öz

Production structure and the distribution of income between regions of Turkey has been revealed by many studies that demonstrate significant disparities. This study approaches regional disparities from the perspective of firm growth and size. First of all, regional differences in the distribution of firms that exhibited high growth were determined by using the TURKSTAT Annual Industry and Service Statistics micro data set covering the 2009-2013 period at NUTS-II level. Then, firm growth-size relationship and regional determinants of growth are investigated. In accordance with the literature, firm size does affect firm growth. In addition to that, regional factors are also influential on firm growth, as expected. According to the model estimated by the panel probit, the importance of regional factors in the high growth probability is also revealed.
