TÜRKĠYE’DE KAMU HĠBE MEKANĠZMALARININ ETKĠNLĠĞĠ: GĠRĠġĠMCĠLĠK ĠLE KURULAN BAĞLANTI

Küçük iĢletmeler, Türkiye‟nin ekonomik kalkınması ve büyümesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalıĢma ile kamunun sağladığı hibe mekanizmalarının giriĢimcilik üzerinde var olan veya olmayan etkileri sorgulanmaktadır. Bölgesel kalkınmayı tetiklemek için giriĢimcilere kamu fonları aktarılmaktadır. Bu vesile ile yeni firma sayılarının, istihdamın ve ekonomik hareketliliğin artırılması hedeflenmektedir. Fakat günümüzde kamunun sağladığı hibeler verimlilik çerçevesinden bakıldığında sorgulanmaktadır. Bu makalede, ekonometrik analizler aracılığıyla Türkiye‟nin öne çıkan hibe programlarının verimliliği incelenmektedir. Beklentilerin aksine, çıkan sonuçlar göstermektedir ki, dağıtılan hibelerin kurulan yeni firma sayısı ve yeni firma doğum oranına anlamlı bir etkisi bulunmamaktadır. Bu araĢtırma neticesinde, hibe mekanizmaların türlerine ve miktarlarına göre yeni çalıĢmaların yapılmasına ihtiyaç duyulduğu ortaya çıkmaktadır.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOVERNMENTAL GRANT MECHANISMS IN TURKEY: LINKING WITH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Small businesses play a significant role in economic development and growth in Turkey. This paper explores a rather different puzzle, which can be named as the questioning of the existence or nonexistence effect of government grants on entrepreneurship. In order to boost regional development, the government allocates grants to current or prospective entrepreneurs in order to increase the number of new firms, jobs, and economic activities. However, the grant programs are now controversial since they are criticized of their effectiveness. In this paper, the effectiveness of major governmental grant mechanisms has been assessed through econometric analysis. Contrary to the expectations, the outcomes of the analysis showed that the grants provided by public institutions have insignificant effects on the stimulation of entrepreneurship, in the context of new firm establishment and new firm birth rate. Therefore, this result led to further need to search the outcomes of types and amounts of governmental grant mechanism.
