İKTİSADİ KALKINMANIN DEMOKRASİ ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ: PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ

Bu çalışmada iktisadi kalkınmanın demokrasi üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada 162 ülkenin 1960-2010 dönemine ait beşer yıl aralıklı verileriyle panel veri analizleri yapılmıştır. Analiz sonuçları, iktisadi kalkınmanın demokrasi üzerinde zayıf bir etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. İktisadi kalkınma düzeyindeki artış demokrasi düzeyini yükseltmekte ama bu etki ancak uzun dönemde gözle görülür hale gelmektedir.

In this study, impact of economic development on democracy is examined. This study includes panel data analysis carried out by using five year interval data belonging to 1960-2010 period for 162 countries. The conclusion of analysis points out that economic development has a weak effect on democracy. The increase in the level of economic development raises the democratic level, however this effect can be observed visibly only in the long term
