Bulunulan Konumun Ekonomik ve Sosyal Özelliklerinin Firmaların İhracatçı Olma İhtimaline Etkisi: Ege Bölgesindeki Firmalar Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı firmaların bulundukları konumun özelliklerinin firmaların ihracatçı olma ihtimalini nasıl etkilediğini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada Ege Bölgesinde bulunan sekiz ilde yerleşik Sanayi Sicil Belgesi sahibi 11.748 firmaya ait veri kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar nüfusunun yüksek olmasının ve şirket sayısının artmasının firmaların ihracatçı olma ihtimalinde önemli değişiklik yapmadığını göstermektedir. Organize Sanayi Bölgelerinin sayısının artması firmaların ihracatçı olma ihtimalini artırmaktadır. Teşvik Bölgesi sınıflandırmasında daha geri kalmış bölge olarak sınıflandırılan bir bölgede yerleşik bulunmak firmaların ihracatçı olma ihtimalini azaltmaktadır.
