Orta gelir tuzağından çıkışta hangi faktörler?

Çalışmamızda çeşitli teknolojik, makro-ekonomik ve kurumsal değişkenlerin orta gelirli ülkelerin kişi başı gelirlerindeki ortalama büyüme oranından daha yüksek büyüme performansı sergileme, diğer bir ifadeyle daha yüksek bir gelir grubuna geçiş olasılıkları üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktayız. Analizlerimiz Türkiye’nin de içinde bulunduğu 56 orta gelirli ülke için 1990-2013 dönemini kapsamaktadır. Analiz sonuçları orta gelir tuzağından çıkış için beşeri sermayedeki ve teknolojideki iyileşmenin, kurumsal kalitedeki artışın ve sağlıklı makro göstergelerin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Factors to escape the middle-income trap?

We aim to examine the effects of various macroeconomic, technological and institutional variables on the probability of high growth performance for middle- income countries exceeding their average gdp per capita growth rate, in other words the probability of transition to a higher income group. Our analyses cover 56 middle-income countries including Turkey for the period of 1990-2013. The results of the study suggest the importance of improvements in human capital, technology, institutional quality and sound macroeconomic indicators to avoid the middle income trap.
