Abstract

This study examines the existence and direction of the panel causality between different fiscal decentralization and economic growth variables. The well-known theoretical and empirical literature has assumed that the fiscal decentralization process somehow causes economic growth, but has mostly ignored the possibility of economic growth can cause and change the decentralization levels as well. With its different point of interest, methodology and samples; the study applies the Bootstrap Panel Granger Causality Test to the data from 18 countries between 1991–2015 and finds that both fiscal decentralization and economic growth causes each other in different countries with relatively significant levels. According to the results, the tested variables of fiscal decentralization cause GDP and GDP per capita growth in Canada, France and Japan while in Hungary, Poland and Australia ‘vice versa’ effect happens. Further to that, some fiscal policy assessments are also done as a conclusion for the countries (like Turkey) which fiscal decentralization has no or less effect in either way.

Özet

Bu çalışma, mali desantralizasyon ve iktisadi büyüme arasında herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olup olmadığını ve eğer varsa bunun yönünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bilinen teorik ve ampirik literatür mali yerelleşme süreçlerinin bir şekilde ekonomik performansı olumlu etkileyeceğini varsaysa dahi ekonomik büyüme değerlerinin mali yerelleşme faaliyetlerini destekleyebileceğini göz ardı etmiştir. İlgi alanı, yöntemi ve örneklemleri itibariyle farklı olmayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada, geniş bir teorik altyapı araştırması sonrasında 18 ülkenin 1991-2015 yılları arasındaki çeyrek asırlık dönemine ait veri setiyle Bootstrap Panel Granger Nedensellik sınaması gerçekleştirmiştir. Bulgular, her iki değişkenin de farklı ülkeler için birbirinin nedeni olabildiğini göstermektedir. Sonuçlara göre, Kanada, Fransa ve Japonya’da desantralizasyon GSYİH değişkenlerini etkilerken Macaristan, Polonya ve Avustralya’da ise bunun tersi bir durum söz konusudur. Öte yandan, çalışmada, iki değişkenin birbirini anlamlı düzeyde etkilemediği tespit edilen (Türkiye dâhil) ülkelere dair de maliye politikası özelinde birtakım çıkarsamalar yer almaktadır.
