Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to test the cost stickiness of listed manufacturing companies operating in Turkey, Indonesia and Mexico. The data of 255 companies, 120 from Turkey, 101 from Indonesia and 34 from Mexico, were used from 2001-2019. The panel data set of 4,535 observations of the three countries was obtained from Thompson Reuters Eikon. Two-stage differential GMM and system GMM dynamic panel data estimation method is used. Cost stickiness behavior is analyzed in terms of sales and cost of sales and sales and selling, general and administrative expenses using two models. As a result of the examinations, while only one of the two models, namely partial stickiness, was found in Turkey and Indonesia, cost stickiness was found in both models in Mexico.

Abstract

Çalışmada Türkiye, Endonezya ve Meksika ülkelerinde faaliyet göstermekte olan borsaya kote imalat işletmelerinin maliyet yapışkanlığın test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’den 120, Endonezya’dan 101 ve Meksika’dan 34 olmak üzere toplam 255 imalat işletmenin 2001-2019 dönem sonu verilerinden faydalanılmıştır. Üç ülkenin 4,535 gözlem sayısına ait panel veri seti Thompson Reuters Eikon’dan elde edilmiştir. İki aşamalı fark ve sistem genelleştirilmiş moment veri tahmin yöntemi (GMM) kullanılmıştır. Maliyet yapışkanlığı davranışı iki model kullanılarak satışlar ile satışların maliyeti ve satışlar ile faaliyet giderleri çerçevesinde analiz edilmiştir. İncelemeler sonucunda Türkiye ve Endonezya’ya ait verilerin analiz edildiği iki modelden yalnızca satışlar ile faaliyet giderleri arasında yapışkanlık bulgusuna rastlanırken Meksika’ya ait verilerde ise hem satışlar ile satışların maliyeti hem de satışlar ile faaliyet giderleri arasında maliyet yapışkanlığı bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
