Abstract

Bu makalede, 1997-2005 yılları arasında Türkiye’deki tüm il ve ilçe belediyelerinin mali verilerini içeren yeni ve detaylı panel veri seti kullanılarak sinek kâğıdı etkisi ve onun yerelde vergi gayreti ile ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Sabit etki ve dinamik panel veri GMM tahmin yöntemlerinden faydalanarak sinek kâğıdı etkininin varlığı test edilmiştir. Tahmin sonuçlarına göre, Türkiye’de belediyelerde sinek kâğıdı etkisi varlığı ortaya konulmuştur. Bu sonuç, çeşitli model ve ekonometrik tekniklerle desteklenmiştir. Ayrıca, şartsız olarak merkezi yönetimden belediyelere verilen mali transferlerin yerelde gelir toplama gayreti üzerinde ikame etkisinin olduğu görülmektedir.

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the phenomenon of flypaper effect and its relation to the local tax effort, by using a new and detailed panel data set that consist of all province and district municipalities’ fiscal data in Turkey between 1997 and 2005. We use fixed effects and dynamic panel data specific GMM estimators to obtain the results. We provide new evidence using an advanced technique which is firstly used to uncover flypaper effect in Turkey. According to our estimations, the flypaper effect does exist for the Turkish municipalities. This result is robust to various model specifications and econometric techniques. Turkish municipalities also experience substitution effect of unconditional grants on the revenue collection efforts.
