Abstract

The aim of the study is to estimate the costs of traffic accidents in Turkey and to put forward conjectural magnitude of these costs within insurance and financial system. Another purpose is to predict the non-systemic costs which are difficult to be involved in records and that are caused by accidents. Different kinds of cost elements come out as a result of traffic accidents. In this study, great effort is spent to predict the cost elements such as material damage, medical care and labour loss. The cost predictions are performed by using the data issued by Turkish Insurance Association and the data acquired by the questionnaire carried out in the city of Uşak. In cost analysis conducted, it is seen that the total costs of traffic accidents occurred in 2012 is more than $4,3 billion. It is found out that insurance companies made a loss of approximately $233 million from traffic insurance operations in 2012. This decreases the contribution of insurance companies, which have significant * This article was funded by Uşak University Scientific Research Project Unit, Project No: 2013-SOSB005 [email protected], [email protected], Assistant Professor in Uşak University Applied Sciences Academy Banking And Finance Department [email protected], Research Associate in Uşak University at Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Department of Business [email protected] Afyon Kocatepe University SSI.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de trafik kazalarının maliyetlerini tahmin etmek ve bu maliyetlerin sigortacılık ve finansal sistem içindeki tahmini büyüklüğünü ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmanın diğer bir amacı da, kayıtlara dahil edilmesi oldukça zor olan, kazalardan doğan sistem dışı maliyetleri tahmin etmektir. Trafik kazalarına bağlı farklı maliyet unsurları ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Çalışmada; maddi hasara, tedavi ve işgücü kaybına bağlı maliyet unsurları tahmin edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Maliyet tahminleri Türkiye Sigorta Birliği tarafından yayınlanan veriler ve Uşak ilinde uygulanan anket çalışmasından elde edilen veriler kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Yapılan maliyet hesaplamalarında, 2012 yılında trafik kazalarının toplam maliyetinin 4,3 Milyar ABD Doları’nın üzerinde olduğu tahmin edilmiştir. Sigorta şirketlerinin trafikle ilgili sigorta işlemlerinden 2012 yılında yaklaşık 233 Milyon $ tutarında zarar ettikleri görülmüştür. Bu da finansal sistem içinde önemli fonksiyona sahip olan sigorta şirketlerinin, toplam tasarruf hacmine yaptığı katkıyı azaltmaktadır. Çalışmada bulunan kaza maliyetlerinin toplamı, sigortacılıkta %16,37’lik paya, finansal sistem içinde % 0,36’lik paya sahipken, GSYİH içinde %0,55’lik paya sahiptir.
