Abstract

Corruption has been one of the challenging topics in public economics for years, prompting extensive discussions from various perspectives. In this study, we investigate the causal relationship between government size and corruption in Turkey, where the anticorruption performance has been getting worse over time until recently. By utilizing a long-span news-based corruption index spanning approximately three-quarters of a century, we conclude that government size serves as the long-term driving force behind corruption in Turkey from 1950 to 2019. This conclusion is robustly reached through a battery of dynamic time series analyses.

土耳其政府规模与腐败

多年来，腐败一直是公共经济学的挑战性话题之一，引发了不同视角的广泛讨论。在本研究中，我们研究了土耳其政府规模与腐败之间的因果关系，土耳其的反腐表现随着时间的推移越来越差，直到最近才有所改善。通过利用跨越约四分之三个世纪的基于新闻的长跨度腐败指数，我们得出结论：从 1950 年到 2019 年，政府规模是土耳其腐败背后的长期驱动力。这一结论是通过一系列动态时间序列分析得出的。
