Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde turizm-ekonomik büyüme ilişkisi: Dinamik panel veri analizi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, dinamik panel veri analizi yöntemi kullanarak GOÜ turizm sektörü ile ekonomik büyüme arasında uzun dönemde herhangi bir pozitif ilişkinin olup olmadığını analiz etmektir. Bu bağlamda; Türkiye'nin de içerisinde yer aldığı gelişmekte olan 21 ülke için 1998–2005 dönemini kapsayan bir panel veri seti oluşturulmuş ve İki Aşamalı GMM-Sistem analizi yapılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda GOÜ'ler açısından turizm ve ekonomik büyüme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiş, turizm gelirlerindeki %1'lik bir artışın uzun dönemde ekonomik büyüme üzerinde %2,825'lik bir artışa yol açtığı saptanmıştır.
