Abstract (2. Language): 
This study tests Wagner’s law for a panel of 10 former Soviet Union member countries over the period of 1995-2009. Wagner’s law indicates that government activities expand together with economic development. Empirical results from panel co-integration test suggest that there is long-run equilibrium relationship between government expenditure and income level. Results of panel causality test that based on two stages lest square model and traditional Granger causality test that based on error correction model show that there is unidirectional causality running from economic growth to government expenditure expansion. Finally, fixed and random effect estimations of five Wagner’s law regressions give some evidences that increase in income level expands government activities. These results suggest that Wagner’s law holds in former Soviet Union countries.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışmada, 1995-2009 dönemine ait veri ve panel veri yöntemleri kullanılarak 10 eski Sovyetler Birliği üyesi ülkede Wagner yasasının geçerliliği incelenmiştir. Wagner yasası ekonomik gelişme sonucu kamu faaliyetinde artış olmasını ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmada uygulanan panel eşbütünleşme analizi kamu harcamaları ve gelir düzeyi değişkenlerinin koentegre olduklarını göstermektedir. İki aşamalı En Küçük Kareler yöntemine dayanan panel nedensellik ve hata düzeltme modeline dayanan geleneksel Granger nedensellik sınamaları nedensellik ilişkisinin ekonomik büyümeden kamu harcamalarına doğru tek yönlü olduğunu göstermektedir. Wagner yasasının matematiksel ifadesi olan regresyonların sabit etkiler ve rassal etkiler yöntemlerine göre tahmin sonuçları da gelir düzeyi arttıkça kamu sektörünün büyüdüğü fikrini kısmi olarak desteklemektedir. Bulgulardan hareketle, eski Sovyetler Birliği ülkeleri için Wagner yasasının geçerli olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
