Consumption and Income Inequality in Turkey

Öz:
In recent inequality literature the argument that consumption is more appropriate source rather than income to represent economics wellbeing of households has been gaining increasing attention. In this context, both income and consumption inequality between Turkish households areanalyzed by calculating well known twelve different inequality measurements using the Household Budget Survey data provided by TurkStat for the period between 2003 and 2015. In this study, this argument is supported with the important results obtained from this study (i) Turkish households more likely to act consumption-smoothing behavior in the serious income fluctuations period like economic crisis; (ii) consumption inequality is more equal than income inequality during the corresponding period.

Türkiye’de Tüketim ve Gelir Eşitsizliği

Öz:
Güncel eşitsizlik literatüründe hanehalklarının ekonomik refah düzeylerini temsil etmekte harcamaların gelirden daha tutarlı bir kaynak olduğu savı giderek artan bir önem kazanmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye’de yerleşik hanehalkları arasındaki gelir ve harcama eşitsizliği, TÜİK tarafından sağlanan 2003-2015 dönemi Hanehalkı Bütçe Anketi verileri yardımıyla, bilinen on iki farklı eşitsizlik ölçütü hesaplanarak analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışma ile söz konusu argüman desteklenmekle birlikte çalışmadan bazı önemli sonuçlar da elde edilmiştir. (i) Türkiye’de yerleşik hanehalkları ekonomik kriz gibi önemli gelir dalgalanmalarının yaşandığı dönemlerde harcama düzleştirmesi davranışında bulunma eğilimindedirler (ii) harcama eşitsizliği ilgili dönem boyunca gelir eşitsizliğinden daha adil dağılmaktadır.
