Bu çalışmanın amacı
Afrika ülkelerinde politik istikrar ve ekonomik büyüme arasında nedensellik
ilişkisinin olup olmadığının test edilmesidir. Politik istikrardaki bozulma
sadece ekonomik büyümeyi değil aynı zamanda gelir dağılımı ve askeri
harcamaları da etkilemektedir. Bu yüzden bu çalışmada politik istikrarsızlık,
ekonomik büyüme, gelir eşitsizliği ve askeri harcamalar arasındaki ilişkilerin
yönünü incelenecektir. 2000-2011 yıllarına ait 52 Afrika ülkesine ait Dünya
Bankasının Afrika Gelişmişlik Göstergelerinden elde edilmiş panel data verisi
ile Granger Nedensellik testi kullanılarak hipotez test edilmiştir. Test
sonuçlarına göre ekonomik büyümeden politik istikrarsızlığa tek yönlü bir
ilişki vardır. Politik istikrarsızlık gelir dağılımı ve askeri harcamaları
doğrudan etkilerken ekonomik büyümeyi askeri harcamalar üzerinden
etkilemektedir.

The
main aim of this study is to analyze whether there is a causality relation between
the political stability and economic growth. Deterioration in political
stability has an effect not only on economic growth but also on income
distribution and military expenditures. For this reason, in this study it is
analyzed the relation among political instability, economic growth, income
inequality and military expenditures. Granger Causality Test is used for the
panel data which is constructed from World Bank’s Africa Development Indicator
for 52 African countries between 2000 and 2011. According to test results,
there is one-way relation from economic growth to political instability.
Political instability influence income distribution and military expenditures
directly while it affects economic growth through military expenditures.
