Mali Yerelleşme ve Yerel Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisi Üzerine Ampirik Bir Çalışma: Türkiye Örneği

Özet: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye için 1990-2006 yılları arasında yerel düzeyde (iller) mali yerelleşmenin illerin ekonomik büyümesine etkisi panel veri kullanılarak incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Belirtilen dönemde mali yerelleşmenin il düzeyindeki büyümeye etkinin po- zitif olduğu bulunmuştur. Belirtme katsayısının (R 2) yüksek, ancak katsayıların düşük olması, 1990-2006 yılları arası iller itibariyle mali yerelleşmenin ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu yönde etkilemesine karşın, düzey olarak çok etkilemediğini ortaya konmaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Mali yerelleşme, ekonomik büyüme, panel veri.

An Empirical Study on Fiscal Decentralization and Local Economic Growth: The Case of Turkey

Abstract. This paper provides evidence on the relationship between fiscal decentraliza- tion and local economic growth for Turkey from 1990 to 2006 by using panel data. In the given period, it has been found that the effect of fiscal decentralization on provincial economic growth is positive. Although for the high R-square and positive relation, the degree of the effect of fiscal decentralization to the economic growth at provincial level is limited for the given period.
