Sosyal Güven ve Ekonomik Kalkınma: Avrupa Ülkeleri Üzerine Mekânsal Ekonometri Analizi

Social Trust and Economic Development: Spatial Econometric Analysis

Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
Social capital highlights intangible elements in a society, such as trust, reciprocity norm and social networks. It is now handled and discussed by many scholars in different disciplines. Economists have started to analyze social capital in applied and theoretical studies since 1990s. While some of these scholars accept it as a new capital type, others do not. Thus, it can be said that it has a disputable place in economics discipline. However, economists especially examine its impact on countries’ economic development levels and generally accept its importance and contributions to development. In this study, we examine the relationship between economic development and social trust by using spatial econometrics method in a sample of 27 European countries over a time span from 1999 to 2009. The findings suggest that a country’s social trust level has positive impacts on economic development.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Sosyal sermaye bir toplumdaki güven, karşılıklılık normu ve sosyal ağlar şeklinde soyut öğelere dikkat çekmektedir. Şu an birçok disiplinden çoğu düşünür tarafından ele alınmakta ve incelenmektedir. İktisatçılar, 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren sosyal sermayeyi uygulamalı ve teorik çalışmalarda ele almaya başlamışlardır. Bunlardan bazıları sosyal sermayeyi yeni bir sermaye türü şeklinde kabul ederken, diğerleri ise kabul etmemektedirler. Bu nedenle sosyal sermaye kavramının İktisat disiplini içerisinde tartışmalı bir yere sahip olduğu söylenebilir. Bununla birlikte iktisatçılar sosyal sermayenin, ülkelerin ekonomik kalkınma düzeyleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemekte ve genellikle kalkınma üzerindeki önemini ve katkılarını kabul etmektedirler. Bu çalışmada ise ekonomik kalkınma ve sosyal güven arasındaki ilişki 27 Avrupa ülkesi için 1999- 2009 dönemi boyunca mekânsal ekonometri yöntemi kullanılarak incelenmektedir. Elde edilen bulgular, ülkenin sahip olduğu sosyal güven düzeyinin ekonomik kalkınma üzerinde pozitif etkilere yol açtığını göstermektedir
