YOLSUZLUK VE YÖNETİŞİMİN YOKSULLUK ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: BİR PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ

Öz

Yönetişim bir kurumun veya topluluğun yönetim ilkelerini, karar alma mekanizmalarını, kaynak tahsisleri ve etkileşimlerini organize etme ve yönlendirme sürecidir. Ekonominin bozulmasında ana etkenlerden birisi de yönetişimin zayıflığıdır. Mevcut ekonomik sistem ve yapının bozulmasına yolsuzluk kadar başka hiçbir eylem zarar veremez. Ekonominin bozulması ve gelir eşitsizliğinin ortaya çıkmasıyla birlikte dünyanın tüm bölgelerinde yoksulluk belirgin hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışma, kurumsal yönetişim açısından yolsuzluk ve yönetişimin yoksulluk üzerindeki etkisini açıklamaktadır. Çalışmada 2012 yılından bu yana yayınlanan ve 157 ülkeyi kapsayan Dünya Yönetişim Göstergeleri (WGI), Yolsuzluk Algı Endeksi (CPI) ve Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla (GSYİH) verileri arasındaki ilişki analiz edilmektedir. Panel Düzeltilmiş Standart Hatalar (PCSE'ler) regresyon modeli Dünya Yönetişim Endeksi (WGI) ve Yolsuzluk Algı Endeksinin yoksulluk üzerindeki (GDP) etkisine odaklanmıştır. Bu çalışmada yolsuzluk ile yönetişimin, yoksulluğun Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla boyutu üzerindeki açıklama gücünün %59,2 sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuçlar, benzer çalışmalar ile farklı bakış açılardan karşılaştırılmış ve öneriler sunulmuştur.

THE IMPACT OF CORRUPTION AND GOVERNANCE ON POVERTY: A PANEL DATA ANALYSIS

Öz

Governance is the process of organizing and directing the principles of management, decision-making mechanisms, resource allocations and interactions of an organization or community. One of the main factors in deterioration of the economy is the weakness of governance. No other action is as damaging to existing economic systems and structures as corruption. With deterioration of the economy and the emergence of income inequality, poverty has become evident in all regions of the world. This study explains the impact of corruption and governance on poverty in terms of corporate governance. The relationship between World Governance Indicators (WGI) published since 2012 covering 157 countries, Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data are analysed. Panels Corrected Standard Errors (PCSEs) regression model focuses on the impact of CPI and WGI on GDP. It is concluded in this study that the explanatory power of corruption and governance on GDP dimension of poverty is 59.2%. The results were compared with similar studies from different perspectives and recommendations were presented.
