Kamu yatırımları dağılımının gini katsayısı ile ölçülmesi: Türkiye üzerine bir uygulama (1999-2017)

In this study, the extent of unequal distribution of public investments among provinces in Turkey between the years of 1999 and 2017 is measured with Gini Coefficient. Empirical findings show that Gini Coefficient calculated for all public investments other than manufacturing industry showed a decrease in the said period. This result means that public investments were distributed relatively more equally among the provinces in 2017. According to decomposition results of Gini Coefficient conducted to reveal the amount of inequality in total public investments is originated from other public investments, a large part proportion of the inequality expressed with Gini Coefficient calculated for total public investment stems from the distribution of investments made in the industries of public services, energy, transportation and communication in 1999 and from the distribution of investments in the industries of transportation, communication, other public services and education in 2017.
