Abstract

The global wealth has increased considerably and decreases in income inequality and poverty have been experienced in the recent years. However, both income inequality and poverty have still stayed at critical dimensions. This study investigated the causal interaction among corruption, income inequality, and poverty in Central and Eastern European Union transition economies during 2005-2016 period by employing panel causality test of Dumistrescu and Hurlin (2012). The results revealed a one-way causality from poverty to corruption and also a one-way causality from income inequality to poverty.

Özet

Son yıllarda küresel servet önemli miktarda artmış, gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve yoksullukta düşüşler görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte hem gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği hem de yoksulluk hala ciddi boyutlarda bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma Dumitrescu ve Hurlin (2012) panel nedensellik testini kullanarak Orta ve Doğu Avrupa bölgesindeki Avrupa Birliği geçiş ekonomilerinde 2005-2016 döneminde yolsuzluk, gelir dağılımı eşitsizliği ve yoksulluk arasındaki nedensel etkileşimi araştırmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda yoksulluktan yolsuzluğa ve gelir dağılımı eşitsizliğinden yoksulluğa doğru tek yönlü nedensellik belirlenmiştir.
