KADINLARIN EĞİTİM ORANLARININ DOĞRUDAN YABANCI SERMAYE YATIRIMINA ETKİSİ; 22 OECD ÜLKESİ ÜZERİNE BİR PANEL NEDENSELLİK ANALİZİ
Bir ülkenin sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik yönden kalkınmasını etkileyen ve hızlandıran en önemli faktörlerden biri kadınların eğitim düzeyidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı kadınların eğitim düzeyinin, o ülkedeki doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımını etkileyip etkilemediğinin incelenmesidir. Kadınların eğitim oranının ekonomik büyüme oranı ve insani gelişmişlik indeksi ile arasındaki ilişkisi panel nedensellik analizi yardımıyla araştırılmaktadır. 22 OECD (Avustralya, Belçika, Almanya, Avusturya, Çekya, Danimarka, Norveç, Estonya, Hollanda, İtalya, Yunanistan, Finlandiya, Polonya, Fransa, Japonya, Meksika, Macaristan, Güney Kore, İspanya, İsveç, Slovenya, Portekiz) ülkesi için 1999-2022 dönemine ait eğitimli kadınların yüzde oranları yıllık olarak alınmaktadır. Ekonomik büyüme oranı ve insani gelişmişlik endeksleri kontrol değişken olarak modellere dâhil edilmektedir. Modellerin test edilmesinde panel nedensellik analizi uygulanmadan önce verilerde yatay kesit bağımlılığı olup olmadığı Peseran Caled LM testi ve Peseran CD testi ile ölçülmüştür. Yatay kesit bağımlılığı ve birim kök varlığı tespit edildikten sonra Dumitrescu ve Hurlin nedensellik testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen analiz sonuçlarına göre ülke içerisine ve ülke dışına yapılan doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırım ile kadınların eğitim oranı arasında tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca bulgular kadınların eğitim oranı ve insani gelişmişlik endeksi arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Kadınların eğitim oranın artması ile insani gelişmişlik endeksinin artışı, aynı zamanda doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımını çekmede önemli görülmektedir.
THE EFFECTS OF WOMEN’S EDUCATION RATES ON FOREIGN DIRECT CAPITAL INVESTMENTS: ANALYSIS OF 22 OECD COUNTRIES
One of the most important factors affecting and accelerating the social, cultural and economic development of a country is the education level of women. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether women’s education levels affect foreign direct investment in a country. The relationship between women’s education rate and economic growth rate and human development index was investigated by using the Panel Causality Analysis. The percentages of educated women for the period 1999-2022 were taken annually for 22 OECD countries (Australia, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Czech, Denmark, Norway, Estonia, Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Finland, Poland, France, Japan, Mexico, Hungary, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Slovenia, Portugal). Economic growth rate and human development indices were included in the models as the control variables. Before the Panel Causality Analysis was applied to test the models, whether there was a cross-sectional dependence in the data was evaluated with the Peseran Caled LM Test and the Peseran CD Test. The Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality test was used after determining cross-sectional dependence and unit root existence. According to the results of the analyses, a one-way causality relationship was detected between foreign direct investment in and out of a country and the education rate of women. The findings also show that there was a bidirectional causality relationship between women’s education rate and human development index. The increase in the education rate of women and the increase in the human development index were considered important in attracting foreign direct investment.
