Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerinin İstihdam Üzerine Etkisi: Seçili Ülkeler Üzerine Bir Uygulama

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin istihdam düzeyi üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Mevcut çalışmada Türkiye'nin de içinde yer aldığı G-20 ülke grubu için panel veri analizi yapılmıştır. Bu ülke grubunun ekonomik yapıları arasında büyük farklılıkların olması ve bu durumun ekonometrik olarak sonuçlarda karışıklığa neden olmaması için, söz konusu ülkeler gelişmiş ülke (GÜ-7) ve gelişmekte olan ülke (GOÜ13) şeklinde iki gruba ayrılarak analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin istihdam üzerindeki etkisi, 1991-1999 ve 2000-2012 gibi iki ayrı dönem aralığında test edilmiştir. Bir kısıt olarak G-20 içerisinde yer alan Çin, Güney Afrika ve Suudi Arabistan yetersiz veriye sahip olması nedeniyle, Avrupa Birliği'nin ise kendi başına bir veriye sahip olmaması nedeniyle uygulamanın kapsamı dışında tutulmuştur. Çalışmanın sonucunda, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin 1991-1999 döneminde gelişmiş ülkelerde pozitif ve anlamlı bir değere sahipken, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde pozitif ve anlamsız; 2000-2012 döneminde ise gelişmiş ülkelerde negatif ve anlamlı bir değere sahipken, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde pozitif ve anlamlı olduğu bulguları elde edilmiştir

The Effect of Information and Communication Technologies on Employment: An Empirical Study upon Selected Countries

The aim of the present study is to analyze the impact on employment levels of information and communication Technologies. Thus, in this study panel data analysis is performed for developed twenty countries (G-20) including Turkey. Since there are many differences in the economic structures of this group of countries, this might cause confusions in econometric results. In order to avoid confusion, these countries are analyzed by dividing into two groups as developed (G-7) and developing countries (GOU-13). However, the impacts on employment of information and communication technologies two separate periods are tested in a range as, 1991-1999 and 2000-2012
