MAKRO-EKONOMİK BÜYÜMEYE MİKRO-KÜLTÜREL BİR YAKLAŞIM: TÜRKİYE’DE KENTLERİN KÜLTÜREL BÜYÜME DİNAMİKLERİ

Büyüme literatüründeki yeni trend, mikro düzeyli ekonomik büyüme olgusunun geleneksel olmayan dinamiklerinin araştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk ekonomisinin en üretken kentlerinde kültürel büyüme dinamiklerinin tespit edilmesidir. Bulgular, söz konusu kentlerde ekonomik büyümeye neden olan kültürel dinamiklerin geleceğe odaklanma, hukukun üstünlüğü, iş ahlakı, bireycilik, dindarlık, eğitim, servet, hayırseverlik, iş çevreleri ve üniversitelerle ilişkiler, sekülerlik ve hemşericilik olduğunu ve söz konusu dinamiklerin etkilerinin ele alınan kente bağlı olarak farklılık gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur.
