Abstract: Turkish Abstract: Bu makale, tesviklerin bolgesel duzeyde tahsisi ve dagilimini belirleyen faktorlerin neler oldugunu incelemektedir. Tesviklerin ekonomik buyume, istihdam ve yer secimi uzerindeki etkisi konusunda yapilmis bir cok calisma bulunmakla birlikte, tesviklerin bolgesel belirleyicilerini inceleyen herhangi bir ampirik calisma bulunmamaktadir. Bu baglamda, bu makalenin amaci, Turkiye’de 2001-2008 doneminde illere verilen yatirim tesviklerinin hangi faktorler tarafindan belirlendigini istatistiksel yontemlerle analiz etmektir. Bu amaci gerceklestirebilmek icin 81 ili kapsayan veri seti kullanilmis ve ileri surulen hipotezler regresyon analizi ile tahmin edilmistir. Regresyon analizinden elde edilen ampirik bulgular, gelir duzeyi, sanayi yatirimlarinin seviyesi, dis ticarete aciklik derecesi, politik guc, iktidar partisinin ideolojisi ve kalkinmada oncelikli yore statusune sahiplik degiskenlerinin bir il/bolgeye giden tesviklerin miktarini belirleyen etkenler oldugunu ortaya koymustur. Ote yandan, bir ildeki issizlik duzeyi ile yabanci sermayeye acikligin tesviklerin dagiliminda etkili olmadigi gorulmustur. Ampirik kanitlar, Turkiye’de illere verilen tesviklerin mekânsal tahsisinin sadece ekonomik faktorler tarafindan degil, ayni zamanda politik, kuresel ve kurumsal faktorler tarafindan belirlendigini ortaya koymaktadir. Sonuc olarak, bu calismanin bulgulari, yerel ve bolgesel tesvik politikasinin olusturulmasinda politika yapicilar icin onemli ipuclari saglayabilir.
English Abstract: This paper investigate the determinants of investment incentives at the regional level in Turkey during the period 2001-2008. So far, many studies have focused on the effect of incentives on the economic growth, employment or location decision. However, there has not been an empirical analysis exploring the regional determinants of investment incentives. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explain what determines the allocation of investment incentives in Turkish provinces. Using a set of regression models, the paper tests several hypotheses related to the role of local and regional characteristics in explaining spatial differentiation in incentives among provinces. The empirical results, on the one hand, indicate that the spatial distribution/ allocation of regional incentive are explained by the level of income, the presence of private industry investment, trade openness, political/electoral power, the ideological tendency of the government, and regional policy. On the other hand, unemployment and openness to foreign investment are not significant determinants of incentive at regional level. These results suggest that incentives at regional level are determined not only by economic factors, but also by political and institutional factors. In conclusion, the paper informs policymakers about the potential opportunities and threats as well as determining factors when designing regional incentive strategies.
