Abstract

Institutional
economics literature suggests that inclusive institutions encourage economic
growth by increasing efficiency in almost all sectors of the economy.
Institutional structure also has effects on the tourism sector due to the confidential
environment and incentives it brings. In this context, when studies on
determinants of tourism are examined, it is remarkable that there are a number
of studies on economic and social factors, but that there are limited studies
about institutional determinants of tourism. This study investigates the causal
relationships between institutional factors and tourism sector in nine Mediterranean
coastal countries also including Turkey for the period of 1995-2015 by using
Konya (2006) panel causality analysis. The results of the study using variables
of corruption and democratic accountability as indicative of institutional structure
reveal causal relations between tourism and institutional factors.

AKDENİZ’E KIYISI OLAN ÜLKELERDE KURUMSAL YAPININ TURİZME ETKİLERİNİN ANALİZİ

Abstract

Kurumsal iktisat literatürü, kapsayıcı
kurumların ülkede hemen hemen tüm sektörlerde etkinliği arttırarak ekonomik
büyümeyi teşvik ettiğini ileri sürmektedir. Kurumsal yapı, beraberinde
getirdiği güven ortamı ve teşvikler sayesinde turizm sektörü üzerinde de etkili
olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda turizmin belirleyicileri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar
incelendiğinde, ekonomik ve sosyal faktörler üzerine çok sayıda çalışma
yapıldığını ancak turizmin kurumsal belirleyicileri ile ilgili çalışmaların
sınırlı sayıda olduğu dikkati çekmektedir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin de
aralarında bulunduğu Akdeniz’e kıyısı olan dokuz ülkede ekonomik ve kurumsal
faktörler ile turizm arasındaki nedensellik ilişkilerini 1995-2015 yıllarını
kapsayan dönemde Konya (2006) panel nedensellik analiz yöntemini kullanarak
araştırmaktadır. Kurumsal yapının göstergesi olarak yolsuzluk ve demokratik
hesap verebilirlik değişkenlerinin kullanıldığı çalışmada elde edilen sonuçlar,
kurumsal faktörlerden turizme doğru bir nedensellik ilişkisini ortaya
koymaktadır.
