Dünya hızlı bir dijitalleşme süreci yaşamaktadır. Fakat her ülke aynı düzeyde dijitalleşmeye sahip olamadığından dijitalleşmenin sunduğu fırsatlardan da yeteri kadar yararlanamamaktadır. Bu çalışmada dijitalleşmeyi etkileyebilecek faktörlerden doğal kaynak bolluğunun etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada E7 ülkeleri CS-ARDL yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. 1993-2021 zaman aralığını kapsayan analiz sonucunda doğal kaynak bolluğunun dijitalleşmeyi uzun ve kısa dönemde negatif etkilediği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmada ekonomik büyüme ve enflasyonun dijitalleşmeyi uzun dönemde pozitif etkilediği de belirlenmiştir. Bu durumda doğal kaynak laneti hipotezinin geçerli olduğu söylenebilir. Bu sonuca göre, yöneticiler doğal kaynak gelirlerindeki artışa paralel bir şekilde dijital sektörün gelişmesini desteklemediğinde dijital sektörde daralma yaşanabilir. Çalışmada Emirmahmutoğlu & Köse(2011) nedensellik testine de başvurulmuş ve doğal kaynak bolluğundan dijitalleşmeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir.

DETERMINANTS OF DIGITALIZATION: ABUNDANCE OF NATURAL RESOURCES

Öz

The world is experiencing a rapid digitalization process. However, since not every country has the same level of digitalization, they cannot adequately benefit from the opportunities offered by digitalization. In this study, the effect of natural resource abundance, one of the factors that may affect digitalization, was investigated. In the study, E7 countries were analyzed using the CS-ARDL method. The analysis covered the period of 1993-2021, and the results showed that the abundance of natural resources negatively affects digitalization both in the long term and short term. The study also determined that economic growth and inflation positively affect digitalization in the long term. In this case, it can be said that the natural resource curse hypothesis is valid. This result indicates that there may be a contraction in the digital sector if authorities do not support the development of the digital sector in parallel with the increase in natural resource revenues. Emirmahmutoğlu & Köse (2011) causality test was also used in the study and a one-way causality relationship was determined from natural resource abundance to digitalization.
