Abstract

Hükümet etkiliğinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki
etkisine ilişkin literatür iki kısma ayrılmış durumdadır. Bir kısım çalışmaya
göre hükümet etkililiği ekonomik büyümeyi arttırırken, bir kısım çalışmaya göre
ekonomik büyümeyi azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise, gelişmekte olan ülke verileri
ile hükümet etkililiğinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmektir.
Bu maçla 78 gelişmekte olan ülkenin 1996-2015 dönemindeki verileri ile GMM
(Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Metodu)  tahminleri elde edilmiştir. Tahmin sonuçlarına
göre hükümet etkililiği ekonomik büyüme üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı bir etkiye sahiptir. Buna göre ele alınan ülkelerde hükümet
etkililiği yükseldiğinde ekonomik büyüme düzeyi de yükselmektedir. Hükümet
etkiliğinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki bu etkisi işgücü, sermaye, enflasyon ve
ticari açıklık gibi ekonomik değişkenlerden daha yüksektir. Bu nedenle
gelişmekte olan ülkelerde ekonomik büyüme düzeyinin yükseltilebilmesi için ilk
önce bu ülkelerdeki hükümetlerin etkililik düzeyinin yükseltilmesine ihtiyaç
duyulmaktadır.

RELATION BETWEEN GOVERNMENT EFFECTIVENESS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Abstract

The literature on the relation between government efficiency and economic growth is divided into two chapters. While some studies say that government efficiency increases economic growth, others say it reduces economic growth. Using country data, this study aims to analyze the impact of government efficiency on economic growth in developing countries. For this purpose, the GMM (Generalized Moments Method) estimates were obtained from the data of 78 developing countries between 1996-2015. According to the results of this estimate, government efficiency has a positive-oriented and statistically meaningful impact on economic growth. Accordingly, level of economic growth increases in parallel with government efficiency in the countries examined. The impact of government efficiency on economic growth is higher than economic variables such as labor, capital, inflation and trade deficit. Thus, in order that the developing countries elevate their level of economic growth, they initially need to elevate the efficiency level of their governments.
