The aim of this paper is, first, to find out the income sources of the improvement in income inequality in the reform period between 2002 and 2007. s, we aim to assess the distributional impacts of macroeconomic policies over the 2002–2007 reform period by examining the contributions of different income groups to overall inequality. Income data obtained from the Household Budget Surveys of TurkStat covering the 2002–2013 period are used. The results show that there have been significant improvements in the income distribution after 2002. The extent of this improvement seems to have been higher during the 2002–2007 reform period than for the rest of the period after 2007. Entrepreneurial and financial income groups were the most distinctive for this improvement. The results also indicate that the contribution of transfer payments was very small, but surprisingly positive in both the 2002–2007 and 2007–2009 periods, and expectedly negative in the 2009–2013 period.

本文的目的是，首先，找出2002年至2007年改革期收入差距扩大的收入来源。检查不同收入群体对总体不平等的贡献。从TurkStat的家庭预算调查中获得的收入数据使用涵盖2002-2013年期间的数据。结果表明，2002年之后的收入分配有了显着改善。在2002-2007年改革期间，这种改善的程度似乎比2007年之后的其余时间要高。企业家和金融收入类别是最有特色的改进。结果还表明，转移支付的贡献很小，但在2002-2007年和2007-2009年期间均令人惊讶地为正，而在2009-2013年期间预计为负。
