Impact of direct foreign investments in Turkey in the development distribution

In this study, the impact of foreign direct investments on income distribution in Turkey was investigated. This research was based on data from 1980-2016. The study used foreign direct investments, gross domestic product, outward openness and gini coefficients. ARDL method was used for this research. As a result of the research, a positive relationship was found between foreign direct investments and income distribution. In other words, the increase in income distribution increases with the increase in foreign direct investments. Gross domestic product positively affects the distribution of income. Outward clearance rate does not affect income distribution.
