LOJİSTİK PERFORMANS VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: ORTA-DOĞU AVRUPA ÜLKELERİ VE TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Bu çalışmanın amacı, İhracata Dayalı Büyüme (İDB) hipotezinin geçerliliğinin, Orta-Doğu Avrupa ülkeleri ve Türkiye için lojistik performansa bağlı olup olmadığını belirlemektir. Çalışma 2010-2016 dönemi için 9 Orta-Doğu Avrupa ülkesi ve Türkiye için dengeli panel verilerine dayanmaktadır. Analiz sonucu elde edilen bulgular, ihracata dayalı büyüme hipotezinin incelenen bütün ülkeler için geçerli olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu ülkeler için lojistik performans seviyesinde gözlemlenen olumlu bir gelişme ekonomik büyümeye katkı sağlamaktadır. Bundan dolayı politika karar vericiler ülkelerinin ekonomik büyümelerini artırmak için lojistik altyapıya yönelik yatırımları canlandırmaya çalışmalıdırlar.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOGISTICS PERFORMANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: EXAMPLE OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE COUNTRIES AND TURKEY

The aim of this study is to determine whether the validity of the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis depends on logistical performance for Central and Eastern European countries and Turkey. The study is based on balanced panel data for 9 Central and Eastern European countries and Turkey for the period 2010-2016. The results of the analysis show that the export-based growth hypothesis is valid for all countries examined. A positive development in the level of logistics performance for these countries contributes to economic growth. Policy decision makers should therefore seek to revive investment in logistical infrastructure to boost their country's economic growth.
