Türkiye'de Ekonomik Özgürlük Endeksi ve Enflasyonun Kurumlar Vergisi Geliri Üzerindeki Etkisi

Öz

Ekonomik özgürlük, hükümetlerin kontrol etmesi gereken önemli bir konudur. Ülkelerin kalkınmaları üzerinde etkisi, özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde çok büyüktür. Öte yandan, kalkınmanın sağlanabilmesi için devletin vergi gelirlerine de ihtiyacı vardır. Bu makalede amaç, ekonomik özgürlük endeksinin ve enflasyonun kurumlar vergisi geliri üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. 1988-2017 dönemine ait zaman serisi veri seti ile ekonometrik yöntemler kullanılarak analiz yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları; Türkiye’de enflasyon oranının kurumlar vergisi gelirlerinin nedeni, ekonomik özgürlük endeksinin ise kurumlar vergisi gelirlerinin nedeni olmadığını aksine kurumlar vergisi gelirlerinin hem ekonomik özgürlük endeksinin hem de enflasyon oranının nedeni olduğunu göstermiştir. Türkiye’de ekonomik özgürlük endeksi kurumlar vergisi gelirlerinden etkilenirken, kurumlar vergisi gelirleri hem enflasyon oranından etkilenmekte hem de enflasyon oranını etkilemektedir.
