Özelleştirmelerin Yoksulluk Üzerindeki Etkisi: Ülkeler Arası Bir Kanıt

Öz

Özelleştirme politikaları oldukça ihtilaflı bir konudur. Bu konuda yapılan akademik çalışmalar özelleştirmelerin şirket düzeyindeki performans etkileri üzerine odaklanmakta, toplu anlamda finansal ve ekonomik etkileri nispeten daha az çalışılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, özelleştirme programlarının yoksulluk üzerindeki etkilerini araştırarak bu alandaki boşluğa katkı yapmaktır. 83 adet ülkeyi içeren ve 1988-2007 dönemini kapsayan bir veri seti kullanılarak yapılan analizlerin sonucuna göre, özelleştirme uygulamaları yoksulluk oranlarını düşürücü bir etkiye sahiptir.

Effect of Privatizations on Poverty: A Cross-Country Evidence

Abstract

Privatization policies are quite controversial. But the academic studies regarding the effect of privatization mostly focus on the firm level performance impacts and the aggregate financial and economic impacts remained relatively untouched. The aim of this study is to contribute to this policy gap by examining how privatization programs affect poverty levels. Using a sample of 83 countries over the 1988-2007 period, our analyses suggest that privatization implementations tend to reduce poverty rates.
