Budget deficits and democracy: The case of Turkey

Öz:
Bütçe açıklarının politik iktisadı alanında geniş bir literatür mevcuttur. Bu alanda yapılan çalışmalar bütçe açıklarının arkasında yatan politik motifleri farklı modeller kullanarak açıklarlar. Gelişmiş ülkelerdeki bütçe açıklarını açıklamaya yönelik çalışmalar bütçe açıklarının demokratik ülkelerde beklenen bir sonuç olduğunu varsayarlar. Ancak bu çalışmalarda demokrasinin bütçe açıklarını etkileyip etkilemediğine dair bir analiz yapılmadan bu sonuca ulaşılmaktadırlar. Bizim bilgimize bir ülkenin demokratikleşme seviyesinin bütçe açıklarını etkileyip etkilemediğine dair pek fazla bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu makalede bir ülkenin demokratikleşme seviyesinin bütçe açığını pozitif yönde etkilediği Türkiye örneğinde gösterilecektir.

Bütçe açıkları ve demokrasi: Türkiye örneği

Öz:
There is a vast body of literature on the political economy of budget deficits. These studies used different models to explain the political motivations behind budget deficits. There are some studies to explain the budget deficit in developed countries and assume that budget deficit is an expected outcome of fiscal policy in democratic countries. However, the studies have come to conclusion before analyzing whether the democracy affects budget deficit or not. To our knowledge there have not been many studies to explain whether the level of a country s democracy affects budget deficits or not. In this paper, we will show a country s level of democracy has a positive effect on budget deficit using a single country: Turkey.
