GELİR DAĞILIMI EŞİTSİZLİĞİ VE YAŞAM BEKLENTİSİ İLİŞKİSİ: WILKINSON HİPOTEZİ
Öz
Bu çalışmada, 1995-2011 dönemi için 35 OECD üyesi ve 52 OECD üyesi
olmayan ülke için gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve ömürde yaşam beklentisi
arasındaki ilişkiler Wilkinson Hipotezi çerçevesinde Westerlund eşbütünleşme ve
CCE tahmincisi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Westerlund eşbütünleşme testi
sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, değişkenlerin eşbütünleşik olduğunu
göstermiştir. CCE tahmincisi sonuncunda ise OECD ülkeleri için genel itibariyle
gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve ömürde yaşam beklentisi arasında negatif, OECD
üyesi olmayan ülkeler için ise genel itibariyle pozitif ilişki bir ilişki olduğu
görülmüştür. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar incelendiğinde, ele alınan ülkelerin büyük
bölümünde Wilkinson Hipotezini destekler nitelikte sonuçlar tespit edilmiştir.
