Bilişim Teknolojileri Kamu Sektöründeki Hantallaşmayı Önler mi? Bir Panel Analizi

Bilişim teknolojilerinde meydana gelen gelişmelerin maliyetleri düşürme, rekabeti arttırma, demokrasiyi geliştirme, yönetimi etkinleştirme ve üretim sürecinde zamana ve mekana dayalı kısıtları kaldırma (yakınsama) gibi etkileri vardır. Bu çalışmada söz konusu etkilerin kamu sektöründeki hantallaşma ve gereksiz büyümeyi önleyerek etkinliği sağlayıp sağlayamayacağı araştırılmıştır. Bunun için OECD ülkeleri esas alınmış ve standart hataları düzeltilmiş panel verileri (PCSE) tahmin prosedürü kullanılmıştır. Ampirik bulgular, internet kullananların sayısında, bilgisayar ticaretinin toplam ticaretine oranında, ulus ötesi seyahat sayısında ve toplam dış ticaretin GSMH oranındaki hızlı büyümelerin, özellikle vergilerin ve belli bir ölçüde de kamu harcamalarının büyüme hızını dü

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have the following effects: lowering costs, increasing competition, enabling administration, and abolishing the constraints based on time and place in production process. In this paper, it is investigated that whether the aforementioned effects can prevent public sector’s unnecessary enlargement and clumsiness or not. For this purpose, OECD countries have been taken into account and standard errors corrected panel procedure has been applied. Empirical results shows that high growth rates of number of internet users, ratio of exports of computers to total exports, international travels and the ratio of total exports to GDP markedly reduces the growth rate of taxation and to some extend decreases the growth of public expenditures thereby prevents oversized public sector.
