Turizmin Gelir Eşitsizliğine Etkisi: Türkiye Örneği

Bu çalışmanın amacı turizm ve gelir eşitsizliği arasındaki ilişkiyi Türkiye için araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla Hatemi-J (2008)’nin yapısal kırılmalı eşbütünleşme testi ile Hacker ve Hatemi-J (2006) bootstrap nedensellik testi kullanılmış ve 1988-2018 dönemi analiz edilmiştir. Eşbütünleşme testinden elde edilen bulgulara göre, turizm ve gelir eşitsizliği arasında uzun dönem ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Nedensellik testi sonuçları ise, turizm ve gelir eşitsizliği arasında nedensellik ilişkisi olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, Türkiye’de turizm sektörünün gelişmesi gelir eşitsizliği üzerinde bir etkiye sahip değildir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Turizm, Gelir Eşitsizliği, Eşbütünleşme, NedensellikJEL Sınıflandırması: Z30, Z32, I30

The Impact of Tourism on Income Inequality: Evidence from Turkey

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between tourism and income inequality in Turkey. To this aim, the data from 1988 through 2018 are analyzed by employing cointegration test with structural breaks of Hatemi-J (2008) and bootstrap causality test of Hacker and Hatemi-J (2006). According to the results of cointegration test, there is no long run relationship between tourism and income equality. The results of the causality test indicates that there isn’t any causality between tourism and income equality. According to emprical findings, development of tourism sector does not have an impact on income inequality in Turkey.Key Words:Tourism, Income Inequality, Cointegration, CausalityJEL Classification: Z30, Z32, I30
