Türkiye’de Yatırım Teşviklerinin Bölgesel Belirleyicileri Mekânsal ve İstatistiksel Bir Analiz

Votes and Regional Economic Growth: Evidence from Turkey

“…Such literature has explored the distribution of goods as various as regional grants and federal spending (Case, 2001;Larcinese et al, 2012;Tekeli & Kaplan, 2008), trade and industrial policy (McGillivray, 2004), infrastructure investments (Cadot et al, 2006;Castells & Solé-Ollé, 2005;Golden & Picci, 2008;Kemmerling & Stephan, 2008), investment incentives schemes (Yavan, 2012), poverty reduction programmes (Diaz-Cayeros, Estévez, & Magaloni, 2012;Fried, 2012;Kroth, Larcinese, & Wehner, 2014), international aid (Briggs, 2014), and the EU cohesion policy (Bouvet & Dall'Erba, 2010;Kemmerling & Bodestein, 2006). 1 Yet, in spite of a literal 'explosion' of research on distributive politics, very little research has so far explored the final economic impacts which such preferential allocations may determine.…”

Distributive Politics and Regional Development: Assessing the Territorial Distribution of Turkey’s Public Investment

“…Overall, the literature on distributive politics has amassed a record of evidence and systematic data showing how the political actors use their control over public goods to reinforce their electoral advantage. Such literature has explored factors ranging from regional grants and federal spending (Alperovich, 1984;Grossman, 1994;Case, 2001;Tekeli and Kaplan, 2008;Larcinese et al, 2012;), trade and industrial policy (McGillivray, 2004), infrastructure investments (Crain and Oakley, 1995;Castells and Solé-Ollé, 2005;Milligan and Smart, 2005;Cadot et al, 2006;Golden and Picci, 2008;Kemmerling and Stephan, 2008), investment incentives schemes (Yavan, 2012), to EU cohesion policy ( Kemmerling and Bodestein, 2006;Crescenzi, 2009;Bouvet and Dall'erba, 2010). Much of this political economy literature has overemphasised the impact of politics on policy-making.…”

“…In spite of such a long history of regional development policies, interventions have recorded a limited effectiveness -a fact strongly stressed by the European Commission since the start of Turkey's EU-accession negotiations (Luca, 2011) across types of goods, the results will likely become dependent on which good -among the range of pork types used by the government -researchers are focusing on. Preliminary research has already been conducted on the distribution of public incentives to foster private investments -one of the two main regional development policy tools adopted by the Turkish government -by Yavan (2012). To our best knowledge no research has yet concentrated on public fixed capital investments -the other key tool.…”

“…In spite of a few earlier related pieces of work analysing the distribution of grants to municipalities for 1997 (Tekeli and Kaplan, 2008) and of investment incentives for the period (Yavan, 2012, this study will be the first to explore the allocation of public investments executed by the central government in Turkey following the electoral victory of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2002. Empirically, the goals of this paper are: 1) To measure the extent to which the spatial allocation of central fixed capital investments in Turkey reflects socioeconomic criteria and regional developmental 'need' (policy responsiveness);…”

Türkiye de Yatırım Teşvikleri ve Sabit Yatırımların İstihdam Üzerine Etkisi: Panel Veri Analizi

“…Analizlerde kullanılan değişkenler, 2012 yılında yapılan teşviklerdeki düzenlemelerden önce mevcut yatırım teşvik belgelerinin ve sabit yatırımların istihdamı ne kadar etkilediğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla seçilmiştir. Yavan(2011aYavan( , 2011bYavan( , 2012, Yavuz (2010), Akan ve Arslan (2008) ve Ay (2005) Bu çalışmada kullanılan değişkenlerden ilki teşvik belgesi sayısıdır. Her ne kadar, bir ile verilen teşvik belgesi sayısı, yatırım teşviklerinin büyüklüğünü yansıtan çok iyi bir gösterge olmasa da, istatistiksel analiz için kullanılabilmektedir.…”
