Yolsuzluğun Kamu Gelir ve Giderleri Üzerine Etkisi

Öz

Kişisel çıkarlar doğrultusunda kamu yetkisinin kötüye kullanılması olarak bilinen yolsuzlukların ekonomi üzerindeki bozucu etkileri; başta ekonomik büyüme olmak üzere kaynak dağılımı, gelir dağılımı ve ekonomik istikrar üzerinde kendini göstermektedir. Kamu kesiminde ise gelirleri azaltıcı ve harcamalarda etkinliği bozucu etkiye sahip olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu nedenle, gerek gelişmekte olan ülkelerde ekonomik büyümenin sağlanması ve gerekse gelişmiş olan ülkelerde istikrarlı büyümenin korunması açısından yolsuzlukların makro etkilerinin tespiti ve bilinmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, etkileri sadece ekonomik alanla sınırlı olmayan; sosyal, kültürel ve siyasal alanda da birçok değişimi kapsayan yolsuzluk olgusunun yalnızca kamu gelir ve giderleriyle olan ilişkisinin ne olduğu literatürde yapılan ampirik çalışmalar doğrultusunda irdelenmekte ve etkileri tartışılmaktadır.
