Abstract

The study aims to test whether internet usage has a reducing impact on corruption or not for 164 countries in the period of 2012-2018 by dynamic panel data analysis. Also, per capita income, voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence and the rule of law are added to the model as independent variable and their effects on corruption are analysed. In parallel with this purpose, system GMM is preferred. The empirical results obtained from the study support the hypothesis that internet usage reduces corruption.

Özet

Çalışmada internet kullanımının yolsuzluk üzerinde azaltıcı bir etkiye sahip olup olmadığını 164 ülke için 2012-2018 yıllarını kapsayan dönemde dinamik panel veri analizi ile test etmek amaçlanmaktadır. Ana bağımsız değişken olan internet kullanımın yanı sıra kişi başına düşen gelir, Dünya Bankası küresel yönetişim göstergelerinden ifade özgürlüğü ve hesap verilebilirlik, politik istikrar ve şiddetsizlik ve hukukun üstünlüğü bağımsız değişkenlerinin de yolsuzluk üzerindeki etkileri analiz edilmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yöntem olarak sistem GMM analizi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmadan elde edilen ampirik sonuçlar internet kullanımının yolsuzluğu azalttığı yönündeki hipotezi destekler niteliktedir.
