İŞÇİ GELİRLERİ VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME İLİŞKİSİ: DİNAMİK PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ

İşçi dövizlerinin giderek artan miktarı özellikle son yıllarda hükümetler ve araştırmacılar tarafından ilgi görmektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkeler için önemli bir finansal kaynak olan işçi dövizleri geldiği ülkedeki ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu ya da olumsuz bir şekilde etkilemektedir. İşçi dövizlerinin ekonomik büyümeyi hangi yönde etkilediği konusunda ise literatürde bir fikir birliği söz konusu değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı da işçi gelirlerinin büyüme üzerindeki olası etkisinin yönünü sorgulamaktır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, işçi dövizleri ve büyüme arasında pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Modelde yer alan ve büyümeyi belirleyen diğer değişkenler ise enflasyon oranı, kamu harcamaları ve dış borçlardır. Ticari açıklık oranının ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmadığı gözlenmiştir.
