Ormancılık Sektörünün Ekonometrik Yöntemler Yardımıyla İktisadi Çözümlemesi (Orman Genel Müdürlüğü Örneği)

Abstract

Economic rationality, defined as achieving a certain outcome with minimum spending, is important in ensuring the economic sustainability of the General Directorate of Forestry (GDF), which is responsible for the administration and operation of forests. Thus, the present study aimed to determine economic rationality, which is important for the sustainability of the GDF and statistically determine whether variables such as productive forest area, non-productive forest area, class wood revenues, etc., which have economic significance for forestry affect economic rationality. Study data were obtained from the GDF Directorate of Administrative and Financial Affairs, the Directorate of Enterprise and Marketing and the Directorate of Strategy Development. The main material included the 2013, 2014 and 2015 current capital budget data obtained from the GDF Directorate of Administrative and Financial Affairs. The analyses conducted for the presented years demonstrated that the economic efficiency of GDF was below 1 in only 2013. However, relational statistical analyzes were conducted between the 19 variables and economic rationality. As a result, 8 models were determined and the effects of the variables on the economic rationality of GDF were interpreted.
