Kurumsal Göstergeler Işığında Türkiye Ekonomisinin Sosyo-Politik Analizi

Kurumsal iktisat, ülkeler arasındaki büyüme farklılıklarının temel belirleyicisinin bu ülkelerin kurumsal yapılarındaki farklılıklar olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Güçlü kurumsal yapının hem uluslararası ilişkilerde ülkeler için önemli bir referans hem de ekonomik performansta belirleyici olduğunu savunan bu görüş, birçok araş- tırmacının çalışmalarında kurumsal yapıyı dikkate almalarına yol açmıştır. Bu çalışmada, bir değişim ve dönüşüm sürecinden geçmekte olan Türkiye’nin ku- rumsal yapısı çeşitli kurumsal göstergeler ve uluslararası raporlardan yararlanı- larak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, Türkiye’nin birçok kurumsal göster- gede dünya ortalamasının üstünde olduğunu göstermekle beraber sürdürülebi- lir büyümeyi gerçekleştirecek teşvik edici kurumlara henüz sahip olmadığını or- taya koymaktadır.

Socio-Political Analysis of the Turkish Economy in the light of Institutional Indicators

Institutional economics points out that the main determinant of economic growth differences among the countries is differences in countries’ institutional structu- res. This view, that advocates a strong institutional structure is an important re- ference for international relations as well as a determinant of economic perfor- mance for countries, has led many researchers to take into account the institu- tional structure studies. In this study, the institutional structure of Turkey, which is going through the process of change and transformation, has been analyzed using a variety of institutional indicators and international reports. The obtained results show that many institutional indicators of Turkey above the world avera- ge but reveal that Turkey does not have enough incentive institutions to realize sustainable growth.
