"Bütçe Saydamlığı ve Ekonomik Özgürlüğün Yolsuzluk Üzerindeki Etkisi"

Yolsuzluk, ekonomik büyüme ve kalkınmayı olumsuz etkileyen önemli bir unsurdur. Yolsuzluğu önlemede bütçe saydamlığı ve ekonomik özgürlüklerin etkisinin olduğu vurgulanmaktadır. Çalışmada, bütçe saydamlığı ve ekonomik özgürlüklerin yolsuzlukla ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu üç değişkenin, 2006-2012 dönemi için verilerine eksiksiz ulaşılabilen ülkeler seçilmiştir. İlk olarak değişkenlere ait korelasyon katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yolsuzluk ile bütçe saydamlığı ve ekonomik özgürlükler arasında negatif ve güçlü bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Daha sonra değişkenlerin ilişkisi yatay kesit regresyon analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ekonomik özgürlük ve saydamlık düzeyi arttıkça yolsuzluk düzeyinde azalma saptanmıştır.

Corruption is a important element that has a negative influence on economic growth and development. The effect of budget transparency and economic freedoms in preventing corruption is increasingly acknowledged. In this current study, the relationship between budget transparency and economic freedoms and corruption are investigated. As the sample of the study, countries for which full data could be accessed in terms of these three variables for the 2006-2012 periods were selected. Firstly, correlation coefficients for each variable were calculated. In conclusion, a negative and strong relationship has been discerned between corruption and budget transparency and economic freedoms. In addition, the relationships among variables have been analyzed thorough with the help of cross section regression analysis. It was found that as the level of budget transparency and economic freedoms increases, the level of corruption reduces.
