Abstract

This research paper aims to investigate the causal relationship between population and per capita economic growth in the Central Asian Economies (CAEs). Using the ARDL approach to cointegration, we find evidence of a long-run relationship between population and real per capita income and provide strong support for the hypothesis that population is driving growth. Overall, the relationship between population and economic growth is strong and positive in the CAEs over the period of the analysis. This suggests that the CAEs seem to be in the second stage of the demographic transition, called 'post-Malthusian regime', in which the relationship between income and population growth remains highly strong and positive. The policy implications of the findings are clear. The decline of the rate of growth of population seems to be more obviously connected to the political and economic turmoil which followed the dismantling of the Soviet system. On the other hand, the various pieces of legislation introduced to control the relatively high growth rate of population in these countries may have not been entirely successful, as population still tends to respond to factors outside the direct control of the authorities.

Özet

Bu makale Türkiye'de, nüfus ve kişi başına ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. ARDL eşbütünleşme yaklaşımı kullanılarak, uzun dönemde kişi başına ekonomik büyüme ve nüfus arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi kanıtlanmış ve nüfusun ekonomik büyümenin itici gücü olduğu hipotezine güçlü bir destek sağlanmıştır. Genel olarak, Orta Asya ekonomilerinde (OAE) analiz dönemi içinde, nüfus ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki güçlü ve pozitif bir ilişki gözlenmiştir. Bu durum, OAE'nin demografik dönüşümünün,'post-Maltusyen rejim' denilen ve nüfus ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki güçlü ve pozitif bir ilişkinin bulunduğu ikinci aşamada olduğunu ifade etmektedir. Bulguların politik imaları açıktır: Nüfusun büyüme oranındaki azalış, Sovyet sisteminin dağılışını takip eden politik ve ekonomik karmaşa ile yakından ilişkilidir. Öte yandan, bu ülkelerdeki göreceli yüksek nüfus artış hızını kontrol etmek için hayata geçirilen birtakım yasal uygulamaların tamamıyla başarılı olamadığı, dolaysıyla nüfusun otoritelerin direkt kontrolü dışındaki faktörlerden etkilenmeye devam ettiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
