Abstract

Son yıllarda kurumlar ile mutluluk arasındaki ilişkiyi ele alan birçok çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kurumların mutluluk üzerinde önemli bir faktör olduğu kabul edilmekle birlikte söz konusu ilişki ülkelere, gelir düzeyine ve zamana göre değişiklik gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada 93 ülkede 2006-2019 dönemi için kurumlar ve mutluluk ilişkisi ülke ve kişi başı gelirden oluşan iki birim ve bir zaman boyutunun olduğu üç boyutlu panel veri modeli ile araştırılmıştır. Sabit ve tesadüfi etkiler tahmincilerinden elde edilen bulgular kurumsal kalitenin mutluluk üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca kişi başı gelir etkisinin varlığı nedeniyle örneklem dört gruba ayrılmış ve iki boyutlu analiz de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buradan elde edilen bulgularda ise kurumsal kalitenin mutluluk üzerindeki etkisi düşük kişi başı gelire sahip ülkelerde negatif, diğerlerinde ise pozitiftir.

DOES BETTER INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE BRING HIGHER HAPPINESS? EVIDENCE FROM MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PANEL DATA MODEL ANALYSIS

Abstract

In recent years, many studies have been carried out on the relationship between institutions and happiness. Although it is accepted that institutions are an important factor on happiness, that relationship may vary according to the countries, income level and time. In this study, the relationship between institutions and happiness for the period 2006-2019 in 93 countries is investigated by using three-dimensional panel data model with two units of country and per capita income and a time dimension. The findings obtained from the fixed and random effects estimators show that institutional quality has a positive effect on happiness. In addition, due to the existence of per capita income effect, the sample was divided into four groups and two-dimensional analysis is also employed. Findings show that the effect of institutional quality on happiness is negative in countries with low per capita income and positive in others.
