Özet:

 Countries aim to inclusive growth to find a common solution the problems that poverty, income inequality, and unemployment. To boost inclusive growth, policies differ by country but fiscal policies play a crucial role in making growth more inclusive. In this study, five different indices were calculated to measure whether Turkish economic growth was inclusive. After obtaining the result that growth is inclusive, the calculated indices were used as the inclusive growth indicator, and we inquired in which direction the fiscal policies on education, health, social transfers, and taxes affect inclusive growth. Annual data covering the period 2006-2018, and the ARDL method were used to test the relationship between fiscal policies and inclusive growth. We figured out that fiscal policies had different effects on created inclusive growth indices. The results obtained show that public expenditures for health and education have a decreasing effect on inclusive growth indices while social transfers contributed positively to inclusive growth index, two indices were negatively affected by indirect taxes.

 Günümüzde ülkeler yoksulluk, gelir eşitsizliği ve işsizlik ile aynı anda mücadele etmek için kapsayıcı büyümeyi hedeflemektedir. Kapsayıcı büyüme hedefine yönelik politikalar ülkeye göre farklılık göstermektedir. Ancak maliye politikaları, büyümeyi daha kapsayıcı hale getirmek için önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Türkiye ekonomik büyümesinin kapsayıcı olup olmadığını ölçmek için beş farklı endeks hesaplanmıştır. Büyümenin kapsayıcı olduğu sonucu elde edildikten sonra hesaplanan endeksler kapsayıcı büyüme göstergesi olarak kullanılmış; eğitim, sağlık, sosyal transfer ve vergileri içeren maliye politikalarının kapsayıcı büyümeyi hangi yönde etkilediği araştırılmıştır. 2006-2018 dönemini kapsayan analizlerde yıllık veriler kullanılmış, maliye politikaları ile kapsayıcı büyüme arasındaki ilişki ARDL analizi ile test edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda kapsayıcı büyüme endekslerinin maliye politikalarından farklı şekilde etkilendiği tespit edilmiştir. Elde ettiğimiz sonuçlar, sağlık ve eğitime yönelik kamu harcamalarının kapsayıcı büyüme endeksleri üzerinde azaltıcı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Sosyal transferler kapsayıcı büyüme endeksini olumlu yönde etkilerken, dolaylı vergilerin iki kapsayıcı büyüme endeksini olumsuz yönde etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir.
