Kamu Harcamaları ve Ekonomik Büyüme: Gelişmiş, Gelişmekte Olan ve Az Gelişmiş Ülkeler Üzerine Bir Analiz

Öz

Bu çalışma 1980-2012 dönemi arasında gelişmiş, gelişmekte olan ve az gelişmiş ülkelerdeki kamu harcamalarının ekonomik büyümeyi nasıl etkilediğini incelemektedir. Sonuçlar, kamu harcamalarının azgelişmiş ülkeler için sabit ve rassal etki modellerinde ekonomik büyüme üzerinde olumlu bir etkiye sahip olduğunu; ancak, gelişmiş ülkelerde kamu harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında anlamlı negatif bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkeler için ise kamu harcamaları, sabit efektif model durumunda ekonomik büyümeyi olumsuz etkilemekte; buna karşın rassal etki modelden elde edilen bulgulara göre değişkenler arasında pozitif ve anlamsız bir ilişki vardır.
