Özet:

 In this study, the effect of political, economic, and fiscal variables on budget deficit uncertainty is analyzed by using dynamic panel data methods, specifically difference and system Generalized Method of Moments GMM, based on a dataset covering the period 1992-2016 for 48 countries. The aim of this study is to empirically examine the factors determining budget deficit uncertainty and analyze the causal relationship between this uncertainty, public expenditures, and public revenues. Main findings indicate that inflation positively affects budget deficit uncertainty, while economic growth has a negative impact. Public expenditures positively impact budget deficit uncertainty but negatively affect public revenues. However, when it comes to their effect on budget deficit uncertainty, public expenditures are found to outweigh the influence of public revenues. This result is supported by the finding that an increase in public debt corresponds with a rise in budget deficit uncertainty. Regarding the influence of political and institutional factors, it is observed that as political risk decreases, budget deficit uncertainty increases. This is explained by the increase in public expenditures and the deterioration of fiscal balance as the level of democracy rises. Causality tests reveal a bidirectional causality between public revenues and expenditures, and budget deficit uncertainty does not alter this outcome. Overall, the study concludes that careful planning of public revenues and expenditures, as well as cooperation among relevant institutions, plays a critical role in reducing budget deficit uncertainty.

 Bu çalışmada, 1992-2016 döneminde 48 ülke için politik, ekonomik ve mali değişkenlerin bütçe açığı belirsizliği üzerindeki etkisi dinamik panel veri yöntemi fark ve sistem GMM kullanılarak analiz edilmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, bütçe açığı belirsizliğini belirleyen faktörleri ampirik olarak incelemek, bu belirsizlik ile kamu harcamaları ve kamu gelirleri arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini analiz etmektir. Bulgular, enflasyonun bütçe açığı belirsizliğini pozitif yönde, ekonomik büyümeyi ise negatif yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Kamu harcamaları ise bütçe açığı belirsizliğini pozitif yönde, kamu gelirlerini negatif yönde etkilemektedir. Bütçe açığı belirsizliği üzerindeki etkisi açısından ise, kamu harcamalarının kamu gelirlerine baskın olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır. Bu sonuç, kamu borçluluğu arttıkça bütçe açığı belirsizliğinin de artması bulgusuyla desteklenmektedir. Politik ve kurumsal faktörlerin etkisi incelendiğinde, politik risk azaldıkça bütçe açığı belirsizliğinin arttığı görülmektedir. Bu durum, demokrasi seviyesinin artmasıyla kamu harcamalarının artması ve bütçe dengesinin bozulması ile açıklanmaktadır. Nedensellik testleri, kamu gelirleri ile harcamaları arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik olduğunu ve bütçe açığı belirsizliğinin bu sonucu değiştirmediğini göstermektedir. Genel olarak, kamu gelir ve giderlerinin planlanması ve ilgili kurumların iş birliği yapmasının bütçe açığı belirsizliğini azaltmada önemli olduğu sonucuna varılmaktadır.
