Küreselleşme ve Kamu Sektörü İstihdamı: Orta Gelirli Ülkeler Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Küreselleşmenin kamu sektörü büyüklüğü üzerindeki etkisi verimlilik hipotezi ve telafi hipotezi çerçevesinde ele alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, küreselleşmenin kamu sektörü istihdamı kanalıyla kamu sektörü büyüklüğüne etkisi incelenmiştir. 2000-2014 periyodu verileriyle orta gelirli 14 ülke için yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre küreselleşme, kamu sektörü istihdamıyla negatif ilişkilidir. Diğer ifadeyle dışa açıklık arttıkça kamu sektörünün küçüleceğini öngören verimlilik hipotezini destekleyen bulgular elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca yapılan nedensellik testi bulguları, Bolivya, Brezilya, Honduras, Pakistan ve Peru’da küreselleşmeden kamu sektörü istihdamına doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir.

Globalization and Public Sector Employment: An Investigation on Middle Income Countries

Abstract

The impact of globalization on the size of the public sector is addressed within the context of the efficiency hypothesis and compensation hypothesis. In this study, the impact of globalization on public sector size is examined through public sector employment. According to the analysis results for 14 middle-income countries by using data over the period 2000-2014, globalization is negatively associated with public sector employment. In other words, findings have been obtained supporting the efficiency hypothesis, which predicts that the public sector downsizes as openness increases. Also, causality test findings show that there exists a one-way causality relationship running from globalization to public sector employment in Bolivia, Brazil, Honduras, Pakistan, and Peru.
