Abstract

Income distribution inequality is one of the important economic problems in Turkey. In addition to economic, social, and political factors, institutional factors also influence income inequality. In this study, the possible effects of institutions on income inequality in Turkey are examined. For this purpose, regional income inequality in Turkey is analyzed by panel data method using regional data between 2009 and 2019. Variables representing the institutional structure such as infant mortality rate, number of illiterate, number of faculty or college graduates, number of doctoral graduates, and number of convicts were used. In addition, the number of financial services local units, the average number of employees in the financial sector, internet access in households, the proportion of individuals using the internet regularly, and the net migration rate variables were also used as control variables. According to the findings obtained from the models, the variables of illiterate number, number of college or faculty graduates, internet access rate in households, and infant mortality rate are statistically significant on income distribution.
