Abstract

Yolsuzluk, devletin tüm işlevlerini
zayıflatan, para ve maliye politikalarını doğrudan etkileyen ve beşeri
sermayeye zarar vererek kalıcı sosyal ve ekonomik problemlere yol açan eski bir
olgudur. Yolsuzluk, ülkelerde var olan yapısal problemlerin (işsizlik,
adaletsiz gelir dağılımı gibi) derinleşmesine, ekonomik gelişmenin
yavaşlamasına neden olabilmekte,  insani
gelişmeyi zayıflatarak, güvensizlik ortamı ve toplumsal huzursuzluklara  yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ülkelerin yolsuzluk düzeylerine göre gruplandırılması
ve bu gruplandırmada etkili olan ayırt edici ekonomik değişkenlerin tespit
edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda ülkemizin de üyesi olduğu OECD ülkeleri
için yolsuzluk düzeyini etkileyen çeşitli ekonomik değişkenler  değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında
otuz dört ülkeye ilişkin derlenen 2013 yılı verileri diskriminant analizi
kullanılarak test edilmiştir.

THE CORRELATION BETWEEN CORRUPTION AND SOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: AN APPLICATION FOR OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract

Corruption is an ancient phenomenon
that weakens all functions of the government, directly affects its monetary and
fiscal policies, and causes permanent social and economic problems by
disrupting human capital. Corruption can cause structural problems (e.g.,
unemployment, unfair distribution of income) to deepen, slow economic growth,
weaken human development and lead to insecurity and social unrest. Statistical
analysis of this concept, which is of great economic significance, was an
important source of motivation for the present study. The current study aimed
to categorize the nations based on corruption levels and to identify the
discriminating economic variables effective in this categorization. Thus,
various economic variables that affect the level of corruption in OECD
countries, including Turkey, were evaluated. The 2013 data for the thirty-four
countries were tested using discriminant analysis in the study.
