AŞILAMANIN COVID-19 ÖLÜMLERİNE ETKİSİ: ÜLKELERİN GELİR GRUPLARINA GÖRE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Bu çalışma, farklı gelir düzeylerine sahip ülkelerde Covid-19 aşısının Covid-19 kaynaklı ölümler üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışma, 01.03.2021 ile 08.08.2021 tarihleri arasındaki verileri Panel veri analizi ile incelemiştir. Araştırmada ilk olarak ülkeler gelir gruplarına göre alt gelir düzeyi, orta gelir düzeyi ve yüksek gelir düzeyi olmak üzere üç farklı kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Bu nedenle her ülke grubu ayrı ayrı incelenmiş ve üç farklı ekonometrik model üretilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre aşılanan nüfusta yüzde 1'lik bir artış, düşük gelirli ülkelerde Covid-19'dan ölüm sayısında yüzde 2,1'lik, orta gelirli ülkelerde yüzde 0,5'lik ve yüksek gelirli ülkelerde %13'lük bir düşüşe yol açacaktır. Yüksek Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre aşının Covid-19 kaynaklı ölümleri önemli ölçüde azaltacağı sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu nedenle kişilerin aşı dozlarını olabildiğince hızlı tamamlamaları önerilmektedir.

THE EFFECT OF VACCINATON ON COVID-19 DEATHS: A RESEARCH ACCORDING TO COUNTRIES' INCOME GROUPS

This study aims to reveal the impacts of Covid-19 vaccination on Covid-19 based deaths in countries with different income levels. In this context, the study investigated data between 01.03.2021 and 08.08.2021 by Panel data analysis. In the research, firstly, countries were divided into three different categories according to income groups: low-income level, middle-income level and high-income level. Therefore, each country group was examined separately and three different econometric models were produced. According to the results of the research, a 1% increase in the population vaccinated will result in a 2.1% decrease in the number of deaths from Covid-19 in low-income countries, a 0.5% decrease in middle-income countries and a 13% decrease in high-income countries. According to the results of the research, it was concluded that vaccination will significantly reduce deaths from Covid-19. For this reason, it is recommended that people complete their vaccine doses as fast as possible.
