Finansal kalkınma ve gelir eşitsizliği: Türkiye örneği, 1980–2012

Bu çalışma finansal kalkınmanın gelir eşitsizliği üzerinde etkisini Türkiye örneğinde 1980–2012 dönemi için incelemektedir. Söz konusu ilişkiyi test etmek için ARDL yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın ekonometrik bulgularına göre kişi başına gelir, enflasyon ve özel sektör kredileri gelir eşitsizliğini azaltıcı etkilere sahipken, ticaret değişkeninin gelir eşitsizliğini, çok düşük bir seviyede dahi olsa, artırdığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın da esas motivasyon kaynağını oluşturan, finansal gelişmenin gelir eşitsizliği üzerine olan etkisine bakıldığı zaman, Türkiye açısından incelenen dönemde ortalama olarak özel kredi hacminde meydana gelen %1’lik bir artışın gelir eşitsizliğini yine ortalama olarak %0.041 oranında azaltarak, gelir dağılımında eşitliğin sağlanması noktasında bir katkı yaptığı sonucu çıkarılabilir.

Financial development and income inequality: The Turkish case, 1980–2012

This study investigates the impact of financial development on income inequality for the Turkish case, over the period 1980 through 2012. For this purpose, an ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) model is employed. According to the findings, while GDP per capita, inflation rate and private sector credits have reducing effects on income inequality; trade variable increases inequality at a low level. For the Turkish case, as for the effect of financial development on income inequality, it is found that a 1% increase in private sector credits, on average, leads to a 0.041% decrease in income inequality for the period under consideration. Therefore it is concluded that private sector credits make a positive contribution to the equity of income distribution in Turkey.
