POLİTİK FAKTÖRLER İLE FİNANSMAN ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ ÜZERİNE: TEORİ VE LİTERATÜR

Öz

Birçok ampirik çalışma belirsizlik ve yatırım arasında negatif bir ilişki olduğunu tespit etmiştir. Bu
çalışmalarda elde edilen bulgular belirsizliğin yatırım fırsatlarına gösterilen yatırım yapma hevesini azalttığını
göstermektedir. Politik faktörler ile finansman arasındaki ilişkiyi konu edinen çalışmaların yeterli düzeyde
olmayışı bu çalışmanın çıkış noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu noktadan hareketle bu çalışmanın amacı
literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmaktır. Bu amaçla literatürde politik faktörler-finansman ilişkisi üzerine yapılan
çalışmalar irdelenmiştir. 

Anahtar Kelimeler
