Yolsuzluğun sosyo-ekonomik analizi: Ege bölgesi anket çalışması

dayanarak tespit etmenin mümkün olmaması nedeniyle, ülkelerin yolsuzluk düzeyleri algı ölçümleri ile belirlenmektedir. Bu çalışma, teorik bilgiler eşliğinde, yolsuzluk algısını ve bu algıya etki eden temel faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla vergi mükellefleri üzerinde Ege Bölgesi’nde gerçekleştirilen bir anket çalışmasından elde edilen verilerin analizinden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan analizlerde, örnek kitlenin yolsuzluk algısı bir hayli yüksek bulunmuştur. Bu algıya etki eden faktörler içinde kamusal harcamalar, vergi yükü, kurumsal kalite, demokrasi düzeyi, vergi ahlakı, siyasal iktidarın algılanma şekli, şeffaflık ve yürürlükteki cezalar en belirgin olanlarıdır.
