Abstract

This study analyses the determinants of health status and the willingness to pay for a reductionin air and noise pollution in Turkey over the period 2006-2012. The analysis relies on a pseudo-paneldata using age and region cohorts. Furthermore, we follow the instrumental variables (IV) approachand we apply the two and three stage least squares methods using wind direction and regionalcomplaint rates on pollution as instruments. Based on our favoured estimates, individuals who reportproblems with air and noise pollution are willing to pay for an improvement in air and noise qualitymore by 20.00-25.00 Turkish Liras (TL) per month.

Özet

Çalışma 2006-2012 yıllarını kapsayan dönem için Türkiye’de sağlık durumunun belirleyicileri ile hava ve gürültü kirliliğindeki azalma için bireylerin ödeme gönüllülüğünü analiz etmektedir. Analizlerde yaş ve bölge kohortları temelinde oluşturulan pseudo (sözde) panel verisetleri kullanılmıştır. Tahminlerde iki ve üç aşamalı en küçük kareler yöntemi kullanılarak araç değişkenleri yaklaşımı izlenmiş olup, rüzgar yönü ile bölgeler bazında kirlilik şikayet oranları araç değişkenleri olarak kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar genel anlamda hava ve gürültü kirliliğinden şikayet eden bireylerin bunlara yönelik yapılacak iyileştirmeler için ödemeye gönüllü oldukları ve aylık 20-25 TL ödeme yapabileceklerini ortaya koymuştur.
