Abstract (2. Language): 
This study focuses on the determinants of life expectancy in the Turkish Republics using panel data analyses for the period 1995-2011. Here, some panel unit root tests, panel cointegration methods and panel regression models are used in order to test the long run relationship between the variables. Empirical results show that the variables are stationary at their first differences. It is also found that the variables are cointegrated. Panel regression estimations reveal that the impact of urban population, per capita GDP and household final consumption expenditure on life expectancy is positive and statistically significant. On the other hand, it is found that population density, imports and mortality rate affect life expectancy negatively. The study also provides some policy implications.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma, 1995-2011 dönemi için panel veri analizlerini kullanarak Türk Cumhuriyetleri 'nde yaşam beklentisinin belirleyicileri üzerinde durmaktadır. Burada, uzun dönem ilişkisinin test edilmesinde panel birim kök testleri, panel eşbütünleşme metotları ve panel regresyon modelleri kullanılmıştır. Ampirik sonuçlar, değişkenlerin birinci farkında durağan olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca panel eşbütünleşme testleri sonucunda değişkenlerin eşbütünleşik olduğu da tespit edilmiştir. Panel regresyon tahminleri; kent nüfusu, kişi başına gelir ve hane halkı nihai tüketim harcamaları ile yaşam beklentisi arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Diğer taraftan nüfus yoğunluğu, ithalat ve ölüm oranlarının yaşam beklentisini negatif yönde etkilediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Çalışma, bazı politika önerileri de sunmaktadır
