Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı,
İhracata Dayalı Büyüme (İDB) hipotezinin geçerliliğinin, Orta-Doğu Avrupa
ülkeleri ve Türkiye için lojistik performansa bağlı olup olmadığını
belirlemektir. Çalışma 2010-2016 dönemi için 9 Orta-Doğu Avrupa ülkesi ve
Türkiye için dengeli panel verilerine dayanmaktadır. Analiz sonucu elde edilen
bulgular, ihracata dayalı büyüme hipotezinin incelenen bütün ülkeler için
geçerli olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu ülkeler için lojistik performans
seviyesinde gözlemlenen olumlu bir gelişme ekonomik büyümeye katkı
sağlamaktadır. Bundan dolayı politika karar vericiler ülkelerinin ekonomik
büyümelerini artırmak için lojistik altyapıya yönelik yatırımları canlandırmaya
çalışmalıdırlar.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: EXAMPLE OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE COUNTRIES AND TURKEY

Abstract

The aim of this study
is to determine whether the validity of the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis
depends on logistical performance for Central and Eastern European countries
and Turkey. The study is based on balanced panel data for 9 Central and Eastern
European countries and Turkey for the period 2010-2016. The results of the
analysis show that the export-based growth hypothesis is valid for all
countries examined. A positive development in the level of logistics performance
for these countries contributes to economic growth. Policy decision makers
should therefore seek to revive investment in logistical infrastructure to
boost their country's economic growth.
