Abstract

Expense elasticities have been estimated for the period between 2016 and 2018 throughout Turkey based on variables in price and total expenditures through various functional forms. While expenditure groups of food-soft drinks, furniture-household appliances-home care services, health, transportation, communication, education and various goods and services are included in compulsory expenditures; expenditure groups of alcoholic drinks-cigarette-tobacco products, culture-entertainment and restaurant-hotel are included in luxury expenditure groups. Furthermore, the elasticity of clothes-shoes and housing-water-electricity and other fuel expenses is close to 1. On the other hand, the share of the food expenditures in total expenditure decreases as income level increases in relevant period.

Özet

Türkiye genelinde 2016-2018 dönemi için çeşitli fonksiyonel formlar vasıtasıyla fiyat ve toplam harcamalardaki değişmelere bağlı olarak harcama esneklikleri tahmin edilmiştir. Söz konusu harcama gruplarından gıda-alkolsüz içecekler, mobilya-ev aletleri-ev bakım hizmetleri, sağlık, ulaştırma, haberleşme, eğitim ve çeşitli mal ve hizmet harcama grupları zorunlu harcamalar arasında iken; alkollü içecekler- sigara-tütün mamulleri, kültür-eğlence ve lokanta-otel harcama grupları ise lüks harcama grupları arasındadır. Ayrıca giyim-ayakkabı ve konut-su-elektrik ve diğer yakıt harcamalarının esnekliği 1’e yakın çıkmıştır. Diğer taraftan ilgili dönemde gıda harcamalarının toplam harcamalar içerisindeki payı gelir düzeyi yükseldikçe azalmaktadır.
