Abstract

In this study, the relationship between taxes and public expenditures, that show the governmentˈs economic sizeand income distribution, is analyzed. In the study covering the period 2000-2017 for 24 OECD countries, theTwo-Step System Generalized Method of Moments and the bootstrap version of Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panelcausality test were used. According to the results of the Two-Step System Generalized Method of Moments, theexpansion in the governmentˈs economic size increases the inequality. Findings of the panel causality test showunidirectional causality from taxes and expenditures to Gini

Özet

Bu çalışmada, devletin ekonomik büyüklüğünü gösteren vergi gelirleri ve kamu harcamaları değişkenleri ile gelir dağılımı ilişkisi incelenmiştir. 24 OECD ülkesi için 2000-2017 dönemini kapsayan çalışmada İki Aşamalı Sistem Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Yöntemi ve Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel nedensellik testinin bootstrap versiyonu kullanılmıştır. İki Aşamalı Sistem Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Yöntemi’nin sonuçlarına göre, devletin ekonomik büyüklüğündeki genişleme gelir eşitsizliğini artırmaktadır. Panel nedensellik testinin bulguları ise, vergi ve harcamalardan Gini Katsayısına doğru tek yönlü bir nedenselliğin olduğunu göstermektedir.
