Abstract

Gelir eşitsizliği günümüzün en önemli iktisadi konularından birisi olarak gösterilmektedir. Bireye özgü, iktisadi, sosyal ve siyasi faktörlerin yanı sıra kurumsal faktörler de gelir eşitsizliği üzerinde etkilidir. Daha iyi kurumsal kaliteye sahip olan ülkelerde daha düşük gelir eşitsizliği beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada kurumsal kalite ve gelir eşitsizliği ilişkisi 23 OECD ülkesinde 1984- 2011 periyodu için sabit ve rassal etkiler modeli ile araştırılmaktadır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre kurumsal kalite ile gelir eşitsizliği arasında negatif bir ilişki söz konusudur. Buna göre kurumsal kalite gelir eşitsizliğinin azaltılmasında önemli bir araçtır.

Institutional Quality and Income Inequality Relationship for OECD Countries

Abstract

Income inequality has shown as one of the most important economic problem now. Behind individual specific, economic, social, political factors, also institutional factors effect income inequality. Lower income inequality has expected with higher institutional quality. This study investigates the relationship between institutional quality and income inequality in 23 OECD countries, using fixed and random panel estimation approach and annual data over the period of 1984-2011. Evidence from a panel data estimation shows that a negative relationship between institutional quality and income inequality exist. According to this result, institutional quality is an essential tool for reducing income inequality.
