Abstract

Sağlık hizmetlerinde yolsuzluk, sağlık harcamalarını ve sonuçlarını olumsuz etkilemektedir. Önceki araştırmalar, yolsuzluğun sağlık hizmetlerini ve harcamalarını olumsuz etkilediğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de sağlık harcamaları ile yolsuzluk arasındaki ilişkinin varlığını incelemektir. 1984-2017 dönemine ait yıllık verileri kullanan çalışmayla, Türkiye'nin sağlık harcamaları ve yolsuzluk arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma veri seti, çeşitli amaçlar için birim kök testi, eşbütünleşme testi ve Granger nedensellik testi gibi bazı uygun testler kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve incelenmiştir. Bu testlerin sonuçları çalışmada çeşitli tablolarda sunulmuştur. Araştırmamızdan elde edilen sonuçlara göre sağlık harcamaları ile yolsuzluk arasında uzun vadeli ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Granger Dışsallık Wald testi sonuçlarına göre, yolsuzluk ve kamu harcamaları ile yolsuzluk ve beş yaşın altındaki bebek ölümleri arasında iki yönlü nedensellik ilişki bulunmuştur.
