Abstract

Until the 1980s, the concept of corruption has been generally studied in the fields of sociology, political science and criminal law. Later, As the link between corruption, which was seen as a government failure, and economic performance has become increasingly evident, economists working in the field of public finance have turned their attention to this field. It is important to investigate the concept of corruption and growth dynamics, especially for developing countries. In order to contribute this discussion, the paper examines the effect of corruption on growth. This relationship is investigated by fully modified least squares (FMOLS) method for a sample of 27 developing countries between 2002 and 2019 period. The findings of the study suggest that there is a negative and statistically significant relationship between growth and corruption.

Özet

1980’lere kadar yolsuzluk kavramı genellikle sosyoloji, siyaset bilimi ve ceza hukuku alanlarında araştırılmıştır. Daha sonraları, bir kamusal başarısızlık olarak görülmeye başlanan yolsuzluğun ekonomik performansla olan bağlantısının gittikçe belirginleşmesiyle birlikte özellikle kamu ekonomisi alanında çalışan iktisatçılar ilgilerini bu alana çevirmişlerdir. Özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler için yolsuzluk kavramının ve büyüme dinamiklerinin araştırılması önem taşımaktadır. Bu tartışmaya katkı yapmak amacıyla çalışmada yolsuzluğun büyüme üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Söz konusu ilişki 2002-2019 yılları arasında 27 gelişmekte olan ülke için tam değiştirilmiş en küçük kareler (FMOLS) yöntemiyle araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular, büyüme ve yolsuzluk arasında negatif ve istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir ilişkinin var olduğunu göstermiştir.
