Sosyal Sermaye ve İhracat Performansı: Türkiye Ekonomisi İçin Ampirik Bir Analiz Örneği

Sosyal sermayenin ekonomiler üzerindeki etkisi son dönemlerde tartışılan konular arasında yer almaktadır. Literatürde sosyal sermayenin toplumun verimliliğini artırdığı ve ekonomik gelişmeler üzerinde pozitif etkiler yarattığı kabul edilmektedir. Sosyal sermaye ayrıca fiziki ve beşerî sermayenin bir tamamlayıcı unsuru olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı 2006-2014 dönemi aylık veriler ile sosyal sermayenin ihracat performansı üzerindeki etkisini Türkiye için analiz etmektir. Araştırmanın ilk aşamasında temel bileşenler analizi (TBA) ile sosyal sermaye endeksi geliştirilmiştir. Sosyal sermaye endeksinin hesaplanmasında yedi temel gösterge kullanılmıştır. İlgili göstergelere ait veriler Uluslararası Ülke Risk Rehberinden (ICRG) elde edilmiştir. Sosyal sermayeyi temsil edecek göstergeler demokratik hesap verilebilirlik (DA), sözleşme uygulanabilirliği (CONT), kanun ve düzen (LO), ekonomik risk değerlendirmesi (ER), finansal risk değerlendirmesi (FR), politik risk değerlendirmesi (PR) ve hükûmet istikrarına (GOV) ait reytinglerdir. Araştırmanın ikinci aşamasında ise sosyal sermayenin ihracat üzerindeki etkisi eşbütünleşme testi ile incelenmiştir. Test sonuçları sosyal sermayenin ihracat performansını pozitif yönde etkilediğini ve bu ilişkinin sosyal sermayeden ihracata doğru tek yönlü olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar sosyal sermayenin ihracat performansı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu işaret etmektedir. Çalışmanın temel önerisi toplumsal iletişim ve toplumsal güveni geliştirecek uygulamaların ekonomi politikaları kapsamında dikkate alınmasıdır. Sosyal sermayenin firmalara uluslararası piyasalarda rekabet etme imkânı sağlayan önemli bir stratejik kaynak olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Social Capital and Export Performance: An Empirical Analysis Example for Turkish Economy

The impact of social capital on economies has been one of the topics discussed recently. It is accepted that in literature social capital increases the productivity of society and creates positive effects on economic developments. Social capital is also considered as a complementary element of physical and human capital. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of social capital on export performance with monthly data for Turkey for 2006-2014 period. In the first stage of the research, social capital index is developed with principal component analysis (PCA). Seven basic indicators are used in the calculation of the social capital index. The data set on the relevant indicators have been obtained from the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG). Indicators’ ratings which representing social capital include democratic accountability (DA), contract enforceability (CONT), law and order (LO), economic risk assessment (ER), financial risk assessment (FR), political risk assessment (PR), and government stability (GOV). In the second stage of the research, the effect of social capital on exports examined by using the cointegration test. Test results show that social capital positively affects export performance and this is one-way relationship from social capital to export. These results indicate that social capital has a significant effect on export performance. The main recommendation of the study is to consider practices that will improve social communication and social trust within the scope of economic policies. Social capital is considered as an important strategic resource that enables companies to compete in international markets.
