Özet:

 Today, foreign direct investments are a powerful economic growth and job creation tool. The studys data, which aims to analyze the effects of FDI and economic growth on employment in the Palestinian context, covers the period between 1995-2022 and consists of annual data. Time series cointegration analysis was preferred as the econometric analysis method. The stationarity of the variables was evaluated with ADF and PP unit root tests, and it was determined that they were non-stationary. As a result of the Johansen cointegration test, a long-run relationship between the variables was determined. According to the FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR estimation results, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between the EMP variable used as the dependent variable in the study and the FDI and lnGDP variables at a 5 confidence level. Finally, according to the Toda Yamamoto causality test results, a statistically significant unidirectional causality relationship was found between the FDI and lnGDP variables and the EMP variable at a 5 level. These results show that FDI in Palestine can create employment and that economic growth has a substantial impact on employment.

 Doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar günümüzde ekonomik büyüme ve istihdam yaratma açısından güçlü bir araç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve ekonomik büyümenin istihdam üzerindeki etkilerini Filistin bağlamında analiz etmeyi amaçlayan çalışmanın verileri 1995-2022 arasını kapsamakta ve yıllık verilerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada ekonometrik analiz yöntemi olarak zaman serisi eşbütünleşme analizi tercih edilmiştir. Değişkenlerin durağanlıkları ADF ve PP birim kök testleri ile değerlendirilmiş ve durağan olmadıkları tespit edilmiştir. Johansen eşbütünleşme testi sonucunda değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişkilerin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin tespit edilmesi sonrasında gerçekleştirilen FMOLS, DOLS ve CCR tahmin sonuçlarına göre, çalışmada bağımlı değişken olarak kullanılan EMP değişkeniyle FDI ve lnGDP değişkenleri arasında 5 güven düzeyinde istatistiki olarak anlamlı pozitif ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak ise, Toda Yamamoto nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre FDI ve lnGDP değişkeninden EMP değişkenine doğru istatistiki olarak 5 düzeyinde anlamlı tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu sonuçlar, Filistinde doğrudan yabancı yatırımların istihdam yaratma kapasitesine sahip olduğunu, ekonomik büyümenin istihdam üzerinde oldukça güçlü bir etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir.
