Abstract

Küreselleşme hareketlerinin başlamasından sonra ülkelerin ekonomik büyümelerini etkileyen faktörler değişkenlik göstermiştir. Yapılan incelemelerde, iktisadi faktörlerin ekonomik büyümeyi açıklamakta, tek başına yetersiz kaldığı görülmüştür. Böylece, genellikle gelişmiş ülkelerde benimsen demokrasinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, 1992 - 2017 dönemi ele alınarak gelişmekte olan 24 ülke için demokrasinin ekonomik büyümeye etkisi Kónya (2006) panel nedensellik testi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Arjantin, Brezilya, Bulgaristan, Endonezya, Ermenistan, Malezya, Nijerya, Peru, Şili ve Türkiye için demokrasinin ekonomik büyümeyi negatif etkilediği; Çin, Gürcistan, Macaristan, Makedonya, Mısır, Romanya ve Rusya için demokrasinin ekonomik büyümeyi pozitif etkilediği; Azerbaycan, Güney Afrika, Hindistan, Paraguay ve Ukrayna için ise, demokrasi ile ekonomik büyüme arasında ilişki olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.

The Effect of Democracy on Economic Growth in Developing Countries

Abstract

The factors effecting economic growth of countries change after globalization movements. Investigations have shown that the effects of economic factors on economic growth are not enough. Thus, the effect of the democracy adopted in developed countries on economic growth is being investigated. This study explores the effect of the democracy on economic growth using Kónya (2006) panel causality test in developing countries for 1992-2017. According to results, the effect of the democracy on economic growth is negatively in Argentina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Indonesia, Armenia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Peru, Chile and Turkey; the effect of the democracy on economic growth is negatively in China, Georgia, Hungary, Macedonia, Egypt, Romania and Russia; there is no relationship between democracy and economic growth in Azerbaijan, South Africa, India, Paraguay and Ukraine.
