Bu
çalışmanın amacı ülkeler arasındaki devletin boyutundaki faklılıkları ortaya
koyacak çeşitli politik, ekonomik ve demografik faktörleri belirlemektir.
Çalışmada, Dünya Bankası’nın veri tabanında bulunan 81 ülkenin 1990-2015 dönemi
yıllık verileri kullanılarak söz konusu değişkenler ile devletin ekonomik hacmi
arasındaki ilişki panel veri analiz yöntemi ile test edilmiştir. Devletin
boyutunu ölçmede devletin nihai tüketim harcamalarının gayri safi yurt içi
hasılaya oranı ölçüm birimi olarak kullanılmıştır. Başlıca bulgularımız
şunlardır. Politik kutuplaşma (political polarizaiton), gelir eşitsizliği,
nüfus yoğunluğu, kişibaşı gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla büyümesi, ülkenin federal
bir yapıda olması ile devletin boyutu arasında anlamlı ve negatif bir ilişki, demokrasi,
siyasi ayrışma (fractionalizaiton) ve dini ayrışma (religious
fractionalizaiton) ile devletin boyutu arasında ise anlamlı ve pozitif bir
ilişki vardır.

The
purpose of the study is to identify various political, economic and demographic
factors that will set out the differences in the size of government across
countries. In this study, the effect of political, economic and demographic
factors on government size will be analyzed by using panel data analysis method
by using 1990-2015 data of the 81 countries included in the World Bank
Database. In order to measure the size of government, namely, the dependent
variable is government final consumption expenditure as a share of the gross
domestic product. Our main findings are as follows. Between political
polarization, income inequality, population density, per capita gross domestic
product growth, the countries' federal structure and the size of government
have a meaningful and negative relationship while democracy, fractionalization,
religious fractionalization and the size of government have a significant and
positive relationship.
