Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between defense expenditures, income inequalityand growth in Turkey for the period of 1970–2008. In the study, the problem of lack of time seriesdata has been overcome by using manufacturing pay inequality index constructed by Theil TStatistic. Increasing inequality and the significant amount of resources devoted to armaments are twoserious and interconnected issues today. Although there are numerous studies that examine thedifferent aspects of military spending in Turkey, there are only two studies that analyse the impact ofmilitary spending on income distribution in Turkey. Considering this lack in the literature on such acrucial topic, this study, utilizing basic cointegration and causality tests and incorporating morevariables, aims to contribute to the literature. According to the analysis, while growth and socialtransfers have an improving effect in income inquality in Turkey, defense expenditures increaseinequality.

Özet

Bu çalışma 1970–2008 dönemi için Türkiye’de savunma harcamaları, gelir eşitsizliği vebüyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir. Çalışmada gelir dağılımına ilişkin zaman serisi eksikliğisorunu Theil T İstatistiği ile hesaplanan imalat sanayindeki ücret eşitsizliği indeksinin kullanılmasıile aşılmıştır. Artan gelir eşitsizliği ve silahlanmaya aktarılan kaynaklar günümüz dünyasında birbiriile bağlantılı iki ciddi sorundur. Türkiye’de savunma harcamalarının farklı yönlerini inceleyen birçokçalışma olmasına rağmen, gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen sadece iki çalışmabulunmaktadır. Böylesine önemli bir konudaki literatürde bulunan bu eksiklik göz önündebulundurularak; bu çalışma eş bütünleşme ve nedensellik yöntemlerini kullanarak ve daha fazladeğişkeni inceleyerek literatüre katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu incelemeye göre, büyüme vesosyal aktarımlar Türkiye’de gelir eşitsizliği üzerinde iyileştirici bir etkiye sahipken savunmaharcamaları eşitsizliği artırmaktadır.
