Makro ekonomik değişkenlerin gelir adaletsizliği üzerine etkileri: BRIC-T ülkeleri için panel veri analizi

Abstract

Yüzyıllar boyunca gelir ve gelir dağılımı sorunu iktisat biliminin en önemli tartışma konularından biri olmuştur. Gelir dağılımındaki adaletsizlik sadece ekonomik değil, sosyal ve politik açıdan da pek çok soruna neden olduğu için çözülmesi gereken öncelikli bir problem haline gelmiştir. Gelirin adaletsiz dağılımı sonucu oluşan sosyo-ekonomik eşitsizliğin azaltılması ve bu yönde önlem alınabilmesi için gelir adaletsizliğine sebep olan faktörlerin ortaya konulması önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada 2005-2015 dönemi BRIC-T ülkelerindeki gelir adaletsizliği panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir. Bulgulara göre; BRIC-T ülkelerinde enflasyon oranı, kamu gelirleri ve ekonomik küreselleşmenin gelir adaletsizliğini arttırdığı ortaya konulmuş, AR-GE harcamalarının ise gelir adaletsizliğini azalttığı görülmüştür.

The effects of macroeconomic variables on income inequality: Panel data analysis for BRIC-T countries

Abstract

Over the centuries, the issue of income and income distribution has become one of the most important debates in economics. The inequality of income distribution has become a priority problem to solve since it causes many problems not only economically but also socially and politically. In order to reduce the socio-economic inequality resulting from unequal distribution of income and to take precautions, it is important to determine the factors that cause income inequality. In this study, income inequality has been examined by panel data analysis in the BRIC-T countries for 2005-2015 period. According to findings, in BRIC-T countries, it has been shown that inflation rate, public revenues and economic globalization increase income inequality and research and development expenditures decrease income inequality.
