Belirsizliğin İstihdam Artışı Üzerindeki Etkisi: Türkiye Örneği

Year 2017, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 1 - 16, 01.01.2017

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Türk imalat sanayinde belirsizlik ile istihdam arasındaki ilişki, firma bilançoları ve eğilim anketleri bazlı özgün bir eşleştirilmiş veri seti kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Firma bilançoları, Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası tarafından Sektör Bilançolar veri seti çerçevesinde derlenmektedir, yıllıktır, 2007-2014 dönemini kapsamaktadır ve önemli sayıda firmadan derlenmektedir. Firmaların mevcut durum değerlendirmesi ile gelecek dönem beklentilerinin takip edildiği İktisadi Yönelim Anketi veri seti ise aylıktır ve firmalara ait üretim ile iç ve dış talep belirsizliklerinin oluşturulmasında kullanılmıştır. Farklı belirsizlik ölçütlerinin istihdam artısı üzerindeki etkisi panel tahmin modelleri ile incelenmiştir. Tahmin sonuçları, dış talep belirsizliğinin istihdam artısını olumsuz yönde etkilediğini ancak üretim ve iç talep belirsizliğinin
istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir etkisi olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Dış talep belirsizliğinde bir standart hatalık artış istihdamda yaklaşık yüzde bir oranında düşüşe neden olurken ihracatçı, küçük ve kredi kısıtı olan firmaların belirsizliğe daha duyarlı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Employment Growth and Uncertainty: Evidence from Turkey

Year 2017, Volume: 6 Issue: 1, 1 - 16, 01.01.2017

Abstract

Using a unique matched data set of corporate balance sheets and a survey of tendencies, we investigate the relationship between employment and uncertainty
in this paper. The balance-sheet data are collected by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey, are annual and drawn from a set of Turkish companies over the 2007-2014 period. The tendency surveys track the firms’ current and expected performances and perceptions. The survey results are monthly and are used to measure uncertainties related to production and domestic and foreign demand over the year. The effect of alternative measures of uncertainty are examined by way of panel model estimations. Estimation results indicate that while foreign demand uncertainty has a significant negative effect on employment, the effect of production and domestic demand are insignificant. We find that a one standard deviation rise in foreign demand uncertainty lowers employment by around one percent. We discuss that those firms with smaller size and with more credit constraints are more sensitive to uncertainty.
